This one originally ran around Halloween. I won’t bother to explain Halloween for those who don’t know about it (likely few in number). I will bother to explain Anne of Green Gables for those who don’t know about it (likely […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yet another example of Puck’s bad mothering and Daphne’s cynical attitude. No surprises here. I believe that almost everyone on Earth should get the Sara Lee reference, because the Sara Lee corporation seems to own half the globe. Anyway, Sara […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh Phoebe: how adorably infuriating you are. This (along with the button-fly jeans) is yet another example of the girl’s penchant for all things early 90’s in nature. For those who don’t know (because the reference IS a little dated), […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Here’s another ‘manipulative Daphne’ joke. It works, I think. The thing that really keeps this dynamic betwixt Puck and Daphne going is the fact that they are both ultimately cynical characters who scoff at the concept of affection yet also […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This strip is #23 in a series dating from my university days. Puck ran for three full years in the Silhouette, McMaster University’s student newspaper. This one is another example of academic humour; many people on campus thought this particular […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
