This was a concept that I returned to multiple times over the course of the strip: Satan as president of McNiven University. It was a light-hearted stab at Peter George, president of McMaster University, who in actual fact is a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ah yes, the washroom stall joke. This strip introduced yet another running theme in Puck: the potty humour. Despite the somewhat boyish joke here, a number of girls expressed that this was one of their all-time favourite strips in the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Not much to say about this one. It’s another play on the Daphne ‘cuteness vs. cynicism’ thing. Colin’s responses make the strip, I think. Sort of a ‘funny heh heh’ rather than a ‘funny ha ha’ joke, but the odd […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh boy. Where to start about this one? First off, the website listed here is somehow STILL ONLINE. It hasn’t been updated for over ten years, but it keeps on ticking in cyberspace. I have no idea who the provider […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

This is the first appearance of Daphne’s consistent outfit with the ‘Gosh Kosh’ jeans and the backwards baseball cap. The joke here was lost on some: another play on Puck’s terrible mothering skills. A decade later, I’m not even sure […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Another bit of a rush job on the drawings, but it gets the point across. This is the second panel to feature Puck’s standard outfit: the vaguely ‘Catholic schoolgirl’ outfit with a micro-miniskirt and a sweater vest. I’m not sure […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
