In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the good people who support me on Patreon, with a special shout-out to The Lurker, Paul Gabbard and Jeremy, who ALL became Mayor of Pucksburg for this month. (We can have multiple mayors. It’s a weird town.) It’s a title that comes with rewards, including actual original comic art getting mailed to you. If you’re interested in keeping the Puck comics flowing, and maybe gaining some fun perks, CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
Hamilton does not, sadly, have a zoo. There are, however, a number of smaller zoos far out in the countryside. The one alluded to here is situated right along the Chippewa rail trail linking Hamilton with the small town of Caledonia. The big cat enclosure is actually right up against the trail – or used to be. It was a bit of a problem with the lions and tigers jumping at the fence when people went by. And yes, it’s entirely possible for a tiger to get to Gage Park via the trail system and largely avoid civilization. I’ve biked the route. Said tiger might have a few perilous run-ins with joggers, though.
And for those who were wondering about the tiger’s name, we get an answer. Those who know Phoebe’s particular cultural obsessions will not be surprised.
