I’m not so sure about that not being a bad thing. Like Ghandi said, a bad pun for a bad pun and the whole world will hunt you down and beat you to death.
At first I didn’t understand it – until I’ve read the speech bubble aloud.
I chortled. I don’t think it’s so bad a pun, but maybe I just think so because English isn’t my mother’s language.
Because I copied and pasted, like, most of the character poses, I actually put some effort into the backgrounds for once. Also made Lacie’s colours and outline a slightly softer shade to make it look like she was standing further away.
We do this at school every day. The expressions range to:
1: Wasting 10 minutes of class laughter.
2: Not that funny, but still okay.
3: Dead stupid.
4 “Wow, you should punched in the throat”.
I had a weird thought. What if Peppermint created the others in her lab in order to deal with her lonliness.
You could just see it. That Peppermint is a just robotic clone. She sends several of ‘em out to keep the illusion of things being normal. The REAL Peppermint stands in her lab, creating endless line of robotic Candy, Lacie, Shelbie and Daifuku/Mochi clones.
I’d imagine a following panel would be Lacie just indignantly spinning on her heel, a look of derision on her face, as she snorts out the word, “Philistines”.
Well i chuckled at the end. Comedy is hard. it is difficult to have a good joke on the spot and when you over think them they get complicated and stupid. I say Lacie did the right thing (wow who thought those would be used in a positive manner for her) with the joke.
Uh, nope, not really. While I have seen Pokaan years ago (12 episodes wasn’t enough!) it wasn’t what inspired the comic. iirc Pokaan was released in ’06, development for CS started in ’05.
Though the shopping mall joke leaves something to be desired, if I heard someone tell it, I’d let it go and maybe think “Good job for thinking of that in a timely manner”. However, Lacie’s grin, pose and “Oh how smart I am” attitude would earn her the same contempt from me that she got from both of the other characters in this strip.
I’ll admit that since your Furry!Candy pic on Tumblr, I’ve found the lack of beast-ears on Canon!Candy (canondy?) disturbing.
Also, do these guys stand out at the mall? Or is this a universe of elaborate characters with fancy costumes, comedy-coated-checkered-pasts, and confectionary-inspired names?
Well, there’s nothing stopping you from making beasts shape shifters. Would make more sense too as I always wondered why not “beastman” given at least Candy (only representative we’re gotten of the race thus far) looks pretty much exactly like a human (also changes the ears thing from a retcon to a foreshadowing reveal as a bonus).
As a kid, I thought anthropomorphic animals were cool- People with animal fur, teeth, et al. then I stumbled across the Furry community. Kinda creeped me out, some of the things they did online. Another webcomic cured me of that.
Why to suddenly the picture of a moonlit night slip into my mind, with Candy in this (i dare call it) furry form, chasing a well known Unlit across the hills? XD
I love puns. I’m an ameture punster myself. Although, I usually go for good puns, I appreciate corny, and even down-right BAD puns. A pun is a pun is fun
Here’s one of my Grandfather jokes which are worse than my Dads jokes “Why is the ocean blue? cause all the fish go Bloo Blooo Blooo.” Okay Mister Swipes now imagine that joke in Spanish. Its still a bad joke even if you don’t know Spanish like me.
In the words of the lord Jkun, *AHEM* Ba-dum-tish.
And now something completely different, the next pannel shows Shelbie & Daifuku with tiny hats & a pair of glasses playing Shogi, and somehow by pure BS luck Shelbie Winning. Oh and they’re in Outer Space… Cypher Space… Virtual Space… Cypher Virtual Outer Space.
It’s okay that you’re not funny, Lacie. You’re hot.
so true. we can all overlook this one bad quality to the Hot Lacie.
Not funny ? Oh, well … it was still nice. Maybe. I guess.
Wow. Just…wow. That’s a joke that I would come up with (very corny).
Apparently you are on the same level as Lacie then, not exactly a bad thing!
I’m not so sure about that not being a bad thing. Like Ghandi said, a bad pun for a bad pun and the whole world will hunt you down and beat you to death.
I’ll admit it, I laughed :p
Someone knows a good joke when they see one!
At first I didn’t understand it – until I’ve read the speech bubble aloud.
I chortled. I don’t think it’s so bad a pun, but maybe I just think so because English isn’t my mother’s language.
Did you read the alt text? (Hover over it!)
I think it’s more like “wahh-wahh-wawawawawawahhhhhhh…”
Mein Gott, I’ve forgotten the alt text – again! I forget it every time.
Great, now I have to read the entire archive again. lol
The joke wasn’t that funny by itself. I wasn’t going to laugh. But the rest of the comic, mostly the faces, broke me and I laughed.
The decor is awesome: I love the tree next to the escalator.
Because I copied and pasted, like, most of the character poses, I actually put some effort into the backgrounds for once. Also made Lacie’s colours and outline a slightly softer shade to make it look like she was standing further away.
Yeah, I could tell. Except for the Lacie shading bit. That’s a nice touch.
I think they just try to ignore her now, which is sad because watching their reactions to Lacie’s bullshit is the real comedy here
I would do the same…
Candy is probably resisting the urge to beat her up purely because the blood would ruin an otherwise sparkling glass floor.
We do this at school every day. The expressions range to:

YOU KNOW TOO MUCH.
Actually, I think the joke is dead stupid, but the reactions make the strip funny.
You could just see it. That Peppermint is a just robotic clone. She sends several of ‘em out to keep the illusion of things being normal. The REAL Peppermint stands in her lab, creating endless line of robotic Candy, Lacie, Shelbie and Daifuku/Mochi clones.
Lacie, Shelbie, and Candy, OK, but come on. Mochi/Daifuku can’t be fake. Nobody’s nuts enough to come up with that… right? *Suddenly looks at JKun*
I dunno what’cha talkin’ ’bout!
Great idea though, would explain how Shelbie can get blasted in the face by a bomb and fall off a roof.
because the only pain she feels is emotional.
Peppermint must be upset. We are pretty deep into her little plan. She’ll need to get rid of us so we don’t tell.
I liked it
Good! You have taste!
Ah damn, stupid daylight saving’s time! Now the comic updates at 3pm instead of 4pm
YOU’RE LATE. Stay behind after class.
lol. now thats funny.
<_<
…I'm…probably going to say this the next time I go to a mall…it's especially funny where I live, we have about 4 malls…
Wow. The nearest mall to me is like a 45 min drive away. Plus it’s barely a mall because everything in Japan is so goddamn small.
Even the rice balls?
Especially the penises.
I beleive Jkun said we weren’t discussing penii here.
Actually going to a local hot spring does wonders for my confidence. That’s all I am gonna say.
xD
and neither do you LOL OWNED
thatsthejoke.tiff
No one appreciates good wordplay. I’m with lacie.
I know right? Some people…
Poor Candy. Is she doomed to a life filled with bad puns?
I should really give Candy a break. Like Lacie’s spine.
And by Peppermint’s face, Lacie’s spine won’t be the only thing broken.
I’ve never noticed Lacie’s High-tops.
Her kneesocks?
I noticed the socks, I’m talking about the shoes. They still call those high-tops, don’t they?
Uh, they are shoes where I come from! Or Converse!
Yeah, those are high-tops.
Jkun: Those are high-top converse. Normal converse don’t even go above the ankle
Oh! must be an American thing? We call all Converse just Converse: x
The joke was lousy and great at the same time. the ultimate comedy.
Oh man my eyes rolled back so far on that one I was looking down my throat.
How’s that tonsil doin’?
Lol a mall.
Be careful with puns, they piss people off.
Especially when they “try” to suppress their laughter!
PepperMint: *thinking* M-must not…LAUGH! Must n-not encourage HER!
Candy: *thinking* No.way.in.or out of.HER backyard! I break here…they’ll ‘never’ stop!!
Once I was reading a webcomic that was so loaded with dumb puns I stopped going through its archives and I left that webcomic.
Welp, see you around!
I’d imagine a following panel would be Lacie just indignantly spinning on her heel, a look of derision on her face, as she snorts out the word, “Philistines”.
Ooooooooh god, that was bloody BRILLIANT!
I love the puns, keep ‘em coming!
(Spies Drumkit)
Must…Resist….
I can’t really be sure that mall is popular. I mean, they’re the only people!
Nobody said it was popular, just new! Maybe they sneaked in before opening day…!
Maybe Peppers is the one opening the mall.
Well i chuckled at the end. Comedy is hard. it is difficult to have a good joke on the spot and when you over think them they get complicated and stupid. I say Lacie did the right thing (wow who thought those would be used in a positive manner for her) with the joke.
Holy crap, I just realized.. This comic is inspired by Pokaan, isn’t it?
Uh, nope, not really. While I have seen Pokaan years ago (12 episodes wasn’t enough!) it wasn’t what inspired the comic. iirc Pokaan was released in ’06, development for CS started in ’05.
Plus there’s no cute robot maid. :I
Then get on it!
you forgot to (╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻
A table flipping robot maid character? Sounds neat!
*Ba Dum Disch*
Ouch! My pancreas!
Though the shopping mall joke leaves something to be desired, if I heard someone tell it, I’d let it go and maybe think “Good job for thinking of that in a timely manner”. However, Lacie’s grin, pose and “Oh how smart I am” attitude would earn her the same contempt from me that she got from both of the other characters in this strip.
Tell me about it. Looks like this isn’t her first bad pun, either.
They set her up for that one..
Oh shit, I haven’t laughed that much in DAYS. Thank you for this.
Aw, your welcome!
How long have the cast page images had alt text? I just discovered them.
Since ages ago!
I’ll admit that since your Furry!Candy pic on Tumblr, I’ve found the lack of beast-ears on Canon!Candy (canondy?) disturbing.
Also, do these guys stand out at the mall? Or is this a universe of elaborate characters with fancy costumes, comedy-coated-checkered-pasts, and confectionary-inspired names?
There’s a lot of weird people in this world, but I hate making throwaway characters so never try to include them.
As for Candy as a furry character, I know right! I made her ears slightly morep ointed upwards but she still looks too human for my tastes.
My tastes: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xq0x3l_the-wolf-children-ame-and-yuki-2012-movie-trailer_shortfilms
Hm, These wolf-children are quite cute.
Being of similar, ah, bias… I can definitely say that I’d be in favor of a legit “werewolfing” style of revelation on Candy’s part.
It’d be nice to see her get some of the spotlight too. Lacie and Shelbie can’t have all the attention!
Well, there’s nothing stopping you from making beasts shape shifters. Would make more sense too as I always wondered why not “beastman” given at least Candy (only representative we’re gotten of the race thus far) looks pretty much exactly like a human (also changes the ears thing from a retcon to a foreshadowing reveal as a bonus).
I was always considering it. I just dunno how furry-hating flamers would take it.
I need to practice drawing her like that before doing anything. Maybe I’ll make it a mini-arc!
As a kid, I thought anthropomorphic animals were cool- People with animal fur, teeth, et al. then I stumbled across the Furry community. Kinda creeped me out, some of the things they did online. Another webcomic cured me of that.

Lacie, that was so bad, shame on you. D8
I love puns. I’m an ameture punster myself. Although, I usually go for good puns, I appreciate corny, and even down-right BAD puns. A pun is a pun is fun
Is this mall in “Massive Metropolis”?
Ayup!
Uhh….. I didn’t get it….
It’s a pun/based on another joke. “You’ve seen one ___, you’ve seen them all”, mall, so yeah :’D
” ‘em all”.
LOL I’d ignore her anyways, not b/c of the joke but because I’d rather go shop for awesome junk I don’t need 8D
Well that joke was better than my Dads horrible jokes.
My dad once talked me into going on a camping trip. He said it would be exciting. As it turned out, the whole week-end was IN TENTS.
Here’s one of my Grandfather jokes which are worse than my Dads jokes “Why is the ocean blue? cause all the fish go Bloo Blooo Blooo.” Okay Mister Swipes now imagine that joke in Spanish. Its still a bad joke even if you don’t know Spanish like me.
*rimshot*
“I’m here all week, folks. Try the prime rib and don’t forget to tip your server.”
Honestly, Lacie. That wasn’t really punny.
Oh ho I saw what you did there!
Candy: “And YOU don’t know shit about pain….yet”
or
Candy & Peppermint: “We’re trying our hardest to not be amused by that”
In the words of the lord Jkun, *AHEM* Ba-dum-tish.
And now something completely different, the next pannel shows Shelbie & Daifuku with tiny hats & a pair of glasses playing Shogi, and somehow by pure BS luck Shelbie Winning. Oh and they’re in Outer Space… Cypher Space… Virtual Space… Cypher Virtual Outer Space.
I don’t get it. :I
Candy & Pepperment: Comedy Gold?! Bitch you serious, not even Midas golden touch can make that joke any less Shittier.
She clearly’s never been to San Diego’s Horton Plaza. XDDDDD
Oh, right, would you say if you’ve seen a plaza you’ve seen A Mall? = D
