* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Puck appears in her twenties, both psychically and mentally, but is 621 years old at the start of the webcomic.

Dewicked trope


* BareYourMidriff: Phoebe and the waitresses in "HOWLERS",[[spoiler: Puck too in a couple of strips because she is pregnant and her clothes don't fit.]]

Gold-haired Hannah Vanbeek is reasonably far from "heart of gold."

Added DiffLines:

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Averted with Hannah Vanbeek. ''Hard.'' She sneaks out of the house with the help of a biker, is an expert manipulator (getting her parents to drop her off near Puck's, then convincing Daphne to play chess with her by framing it as a "con job on a board,") and [[https://www.puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-505 on the topic of Tyler]]:
--> '''Hannah:''' Tyler is like a soft, fluffy, little lamb. He would ''never'' survive a ride on ''this'' rollercoaster.
--> '''Daphne:''' Why do I find that strangely believable?

Added DiffLines:

* MundaneFantastic: Whilst there are definitely fantastical elements to the world in which Puck lives -- the titular character is explicitly a 600+ year old [[TheFairFolk Irish sidhe]], her college roommate is Satan's HalfHumanHybrid daughter, and her own adopted daughter is a humanoid dog -- the focus is entirely on their mundane, day-to-day lives, which center around things like college life, work, family dramas, parenthood, etc. Though magic is inferred to exist -- Phoebe's mom got eternal youth as part of [[DealWithTheDevil her prenuptial contract with Satan]] -- don't expect it to ever show up or be used to make life easier for our heroes.

A comma, some bolding, some implications on Genius Ditz, and a couple links on Puck's coffee addiction.


* GRatedDrug: Phoebe in the Junior Prom arc in general. Strip [[http://www.puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-493 493]] tells us she doesn’t smoke weed or drink. Her piece of choice, as Papa Shnorf finds out is... sugar. Phoebe is fairly loopy afterward, dosing on sugar and sugary things like crazy.
--> Papa Shnorf: Candy cigarettes?
--> Phoebe: Trust me, you have no idea how high this plane can fly.

Added DiffLines:

* MustHaveCaffeine: Puck. So much so that it apparently takes her three ''pots'' a day to function, she [[https://www.puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-94 stole from a short-lived barista job,]] and she [[https://www.puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-95 shuts down completely]] while denying her addiction.

** Puck wears a DangerouslyShortSkirt a lot of the time (the banner ad described her as “the redhead whose temper is as short as her skirt”), so there’s that... although Colin is well known to find this attractive, so she’s probably MsFanservice.

Puck is a weekly webcomic that started as a comic strip of the [=McMaster=] University newspaper starring Robin "Puck" Goodfellow, an ancient fairy of lore whose life changes when someone leaves a dog-girl named Daphne on her doorstep and starts attending the university to "increase her earning power." There she meets Phoebe, a hot she-devil and daughter of the university president, who just so happens to be Satan, and Colin, her boyfriend.
