Vote for Costumes!

I got a bunch of suggestions for the October incentive pics. I’ve chosen some of the highlights and put them here. I decided to just go with the costumes and be non-specific with characters.

Costume Ideas for October Incentives?

I am opening up the floor for costume suggestions for October. Could be a concept, could be a specific character from pop culture, could be anything. You can name the wearer or leave it to chance. Whatever, man. Just throw it all in the comments. If I have a lot of suggestions, I'll put up a poll. If not, I'll just go with what I get and make my OWN choices!

Comment costume ideas do...

Puck 825 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "The REAL question is why Colin was in possession of continuous feed dot matrix printer paper in the year 2025."

Puck Sans Polka Dots (Sept. 2024)

I managed to get rid of the excessive sheen on her skin for this one. And I got rid of some other things too. The crab is VERY happy.

Polka Dot Puck (Sept. 2024)

I went a little overboard on the sheen factor in this pic. But still a fun pose.

Puck 824 - Hi-res

Al-text: "Colin knows his fools. He's a full-on student of foolosophy. (And by that, I mean he's listened to the 'Love Foolosophy' song by Jamiroquai, like, twenty-three times.)"

Emily with Less Swimsuit (Sept. 2024)

Still a bit of swimsuit left. Flip-flops still here. Obviously.

Emily for Swimsuitember (Sept. 2024)

The best part of the image is the flip-flops, of course.

Puck 823 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "I will proudly state that I have never once paid to have my picture taken next to a vehicle. I can't be proud of much, but I can be proud of that."

Lacy Emily - Only the Lace (Feb. 2024)

I like this picture. I like the lace. And the rest of it too.

Puck 822 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "Tiggers love it when a plan comes together, cuz that's what Tiggers do best!"

Oh, new incentive pic on TWC! https://www.topwebcomics.com/vote/12718

September Incentive Ideas?

Just a few broader possibilities. Choose what you think works.

Puck 821 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "Puck has worn, like, a hundred different skirts in this comic. She must have REALLY let that laundry pile up."

Less Chocolatey Phoebe (Aug. 2024)

Got rid of the chocolate bars. Who needs em?

Chocolate Phoebe (Aug. 2024)

I'm realizing that the chocolate-covered thing is becoming my personal weird obsession, but I feel I've got a knack for it and I like how it looks. This one's modified from the one I posted last year; it used to have a big chocolate bar covering the chest. I felt that was covering up some nicely rendered chocolate, so I removed it.

Puck 820 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "I don't know about you, but I don't think Snake ever wore an Urkel shirt."

Vanilla Puck with Fewer Scoops (Aug. 2024)

The ice cream scoops look less awkward here. That's why I HAD to move it. No choice.

Vanilla Puck (Aug. 2024)

So yeah, this one was a little interesting. Someone inquired about body pillow type pics, so I decided to see what I could do with that format. This is what I came up with. The ice cream scoops are sadly not very convincing. You can tell they were added in post.

Puck 819 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "Hey, at least she's an HONEST terrible mother."

Puck 818 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "One should never boast about knowing Digimon. NEVER."

August Incentive Possibilities - Obscure Characters?

So I thought we'd do something different and do some incentive pics featuring some of the slightly obscure and/or very obscure characters from the comic. All of these characters appeared in at least two strips. I provided a handy visual guide here! Vote for your favorites.

Minty Phoebe Sans Bikini

Just a nice pic. I like this one.

Puck 817 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "A real nerd doesn't necessarily know who Ming is. But a really OLD nerd does."

Emily + Clown - Fewer Band-Aids

A shocking lack of band-aids here. Yes, this required me to consider the color and appearance of clown nipples. I am reasonably happy with what I came up with.

Band-Aid Emily + Clown (July 2024)

I drew this one, then decided to redraw the clown girl with some more curves on her to provide some visual variety. I am disturbed by clowns, but this one's kinda cute. For the record, I believe I decided her name is Clementine the Clown Girl, making this an 'Em and Clem' pic.

Puck 816 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "We don't usually see much of the menu on the back wall, but I will note that the prices have gone up since the last time Colin came in. F@#$in' inflation."

Ooh, also new incentive on TWC: https://www.topwebcomics.com/vote/12718

Puck 815 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "I hid a REAL nerd in the background of panel one. Just for representation."

Pool Puck Sans Ribbon (July 2024)

I hated that stupid ribbon. It just ruined a really pretty picture. Here's the purist's version.

Underwater Puck (July 2024)

The words were submitted to me by patrons so I can't take credit for them, but I did choose to arrange them in this way. Obviously a little bit of a nod to that dude who does 1990-Something. Man loves a babe in a pool. I see why.

Puck 814 - Hi-res

Alt-text: "Raccoons know a thing or two about mixing flavors. The dumpsters taught them well."
