THE GREAT NOUN ADVENTURE RETURNS!
Every June, patrons on Patreon suggest nouns and I combine them in unique ways. See the results!
In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the two stalwart supporters The Lurker and Jeremy, who are both Mayor of Pucksburg again. Maybe you’re generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
Not much of a surprise after last week, but it does show that Haddaway did NOT lie to Phoebe and that tiger promises CAN indeed be trusted. These are things we need to know.
When a cat brings you a dead mouse, or a dismembered arm, it means the cat thinks of you as the Alpha Cat.
Or the cat is just providing you with evidence that the prey is not, in fact, a man.
Cats don’t do alphas. It’s an expression of love, you twit.
Cats won’t stay in a relationship if they didn’t love the Alpha Cat.
Sure they will. They cant open those pesky cans without us.
Can’t open those pesky cans “YET”
Give’em a minute.
Our cat overlords may be our only hope against our AI overlords. Cats be pissing on the Roombas.
It was more of a Garfield quote. And a recognicion that I’ve never been an Alpha cat nor seen one.
“Everybody wants to be a cat / Because a cat’s the only cat who knows where it’s at”
“Everybody wants to be a cat / Because a cat’s the only cat who knows where it’s at”
Right up to the point when there’s cat-stuff to do.
ungrateful hooman, it was a GIFT!!!
So it was a setup by whatisface all along. Satan’s servant. (Except he actually serves evil itself.)
No, not exactly. Though that WOULD be a big twist. This is a new type of evil entirely: the evil of THE DIGITAL FRONTIER!!!
Tyler: how did you know? Daphne: call it a hunch.
Someone has the inside track.
Hey what a minute couldn’t Hannah tell if there was a robot before the tiger attacked?
I mean wouldn’t she sense something wrong with the situation up close ?
Also, another robot?!? Now there has to be a main controller to all of this, right ?
No, Hannah doesn’t have super robot-sensing powers. Not from a distance, anyway.
There are three robots. And we will see.
Well, now he just feels ripped off..
I dig it.
Hadaway. That’s not food. It’s not a friend either, I don’t know what Phoebe was talking about, but it’s not food. Let us know if your tummy gets upset and we’ll call the nice vet.
I don’t think he ate any robot. He just dismembered the robot to clearly illustrate its robotic nature.
Good kitty.
Aren’t they all
They do need to be socialized. I learned that the hard way.
Haddaway is not being smug, he’s simply acknowledging that he’s the smartest member of the group.
True.
indeed he is! he kept his word about ‘not eating people’ yet still managed to rip someone apart. way to go mr big kitty!
Don’t you just hate it when you get a case of the robots?
Side note: Who are the 2 people behind the tiger in the third panel? The girl in the blue hair and the guy next to her? I don’t recognize/remember them.
They’re Derek and Cassidy – Hannah’s ‘friends’ who helped her graffiti the wall earlier.
Whether it’s marbles in oatmeal or a case of the robots there’s no need to worry.
Just do like UHF and “Drink From the Firehose”.
It does wonders for electronics.
They are also the people with whom Hannah gets into shenanigans apparently too shenanigany to be depicted in the pages of PUCK. See the last quarter of the Junior Prom story where she takes off for what might be some sapphic hijinks … we get hints.
That’s why I put ‘friends’ in quotation marks. They are special friends, as it were.

Just for reference.
Ah, that’s who they are. Hannah has quite the presence on her own, I forgot she had others with her.
The problem with robots is they might have backups. More heavily armed backups.
Eventually? Perhaps.
Tiger is all, ” I know a cat toy when I see one.”
Most cats do.
All of this is going to turn out to be one of Satan’s old projects that ran a little wild isn’t it?
I don’t think he’s smart enough to have this sort of project.
He’s more of an anti-people person.
We joked at last appearance of the Tiger having some semblance of a Shere Khan personality. For a large cat lacking human speech, those last two panels clearly display some Shere Khan kinship.
I can believe that Phoebe does treat her friends to some Disney movie nights, so maybe Haddaway had some inspiration. Maybe George Sanders is Haddaway’s spirit animal?
Can a tiger have a human spirit animal? WHAT A TWIST!
Why not, when I was in a ‘find your spirit animal’ session, I got The Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes! In Haddaway’s case . . . Magnus, Robot Fighter, 4000 AD?
Haddaway is all ‘Let me give you a hand there, Tyler!” Also, yes, I also owe Haddaway an apology. Can I do so by grooming him as he purrs? Please, can I? May I?
Yes. Just don’t rub his fur backwards.
Try scratching him behind the ears. I’ve never known a cat who didn’t like being scratched behind the ears.
So Haddaway KNEW?????
He could smell a robotic rat from a mile away.
I see a theme in this chapter of Natural vs. Artificial. The latter, headed by Puck, is emerging victorious. It’s nice to see your home team win. 🙂
Sorry, I meant Puck heads the Natural team.
You sense a theme, huh? I didn’t think we had themes in dumb webcomics like this, but you may be onto something.
Tiger dude appears to be waiting for that apology.
He kind of got it, I’d say. Not directly but indirectly.
Cat faces being relatively immobile, the ears generally say most of what they’re feeling. Haddaway seems to have relatively expressive eyes for a cat, which is helpful because he seems reluctant to speak with his mouth full.
He’s very polite for a cat.
