As for this comic…
For new readers, this is the Hotdog Guy. He is actually a recurring character though it’s been years since we last saw him. But like Halley’s comet, he returns.
Isn’t motherhood a serious responsibility too ?
Also puck is worried about the plan going wrong…there has to be a few backup options in place for just the proper occasional mess up , right ?
Well, we’ll see.
Clothes are cheap if you shop the 2nd hand stores, sometimes you can get boxes full of them for less than 20 dollars.
Also If im sure the court therapist is mandated at this point and is giving her hotdogs because she gave him the idea of going to school by making him realize he could be charging for more than just hotdogs when folks like Puck stopped to talk.
That all sounds very accurate.
When does the seriousness of caring for a child take second place?
sadly, far too often
When you’re Puck.
Ahh, it’s good to be back.
With hot dogs.
Does no one remember that Daphne’s Puck’s adopted daughter? I mean, yes, she generally raised herself, but come on, that’s a whole other level of irresponcibility.
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Heh. 🙂
And unlike Haley’s Commet, when Hot Dog Guy returns, he brings fewer cybermen.
Puck took time out to shop for a new dress and to get a hot dog? It is a banner day indeed.
Regards to Tammy. I don’t remember you, but I won’t forget you now!
For a woman who is money-challenged, she certainly seems to have a lot of outfits.
Woo, Hot Dog Guy returns – my personal favorite character who shows up exactly once a blue moon.
At least Puck’s *honest* about being a terrible mother.
I know she technically has two daughters (one biological, one adopted) but the adopted one basically just raised herself, so…
Honesty has gotta be worth something. Maybe worth a hot dog.
Puck could tell him, but then somebody would have to kill him. It’s hard to say just who would have to, given the state of the scheming.
Probably the tiger.
Would be the natural person to assign the task to.
I guess that mothers like Puck are the reason the fae folk are traditionally depicted as violent lunatics with blue and orange morality
Probably.
Acording to Fae standards, she’s responsible and well-grounded.
We’ve never had one of the other Fae turn up in Puck yet have we?
That’s one of the reasons I’m looking forward to her wedding. It’ll be hilarious (by which I mean hilarious for US)
Then again, considering her relatives might include The Wild Hunt, she might skip the family invites
Not sure we’ll see another fairy at the wedding. But we WILL see some insanity.
One responsibility is backed by gold, the other, by Colin . . . and Daphne . . . and Phoebe . . . so it really is a toss-up!
Gold weighs more.
Even with all that emotional baggage?
The gold got some therapy. It’s feeling a lot better about things.
Thank God.
Not seriously is exactly the right approach for raising tiny people. How else would Miranda know that wild raccoons are awesome playmates and that chocolate makes the best popcorn topping.
Serious parenting would never allow for this learning.
I tend to agree. But most people with parenting experience get the seriousness knocked out of them eventually.
Kids are like eggs.
If you wrap an egg in cotton wool it will eventually go off.
If you hard-boil them then they tend to last longer.
Nicely stated.
My eldest daughter visited with her 11 month old. She protested me feeding the kid a mashed french fry. But let it go, but VERBOTEN on the ketchup. No sugary ketchup.
I visited her six months later and noticed her order a plate of fries with ketchup on the side for the kid. Its the one thing he’ll eat withiut whining and bitching, she informed me. Then blaned ne for the addiction.
First kid is always treated with such care, before you end up broken. The breaking happens fast.
If I were Puck, I wouldn’t confide my secret plans to the Hot Dog Guy. I just don’t trust him.
Well, he only hides his face from us. Puck can see him. So he’s less shady than he might seem.
Well now, this is definitely a past from the blast. You heard me right.
Kapow.
I seem to remember Puck having a rather dramatic meltdown about how awful of a parent she would be. Unsurprisingly, she was absolutely right.
Further evidence offered by how her first adopted daugher turned out.
I don’t know. She’s resourceful, focused good work-ethic and can be good to the people she likes. She ain’t all bad.
She is. And was. And will be.
