comment
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.The series is divided in two; the first part happens during Puck and company's university years (the original run of the strip in black and white); the second part occurs after a time skip of 10 years (the real time between the last strip and the restart).Find it here

G-Rated Drug: Phoebe in the Junior Prom arc in general. Strip 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. When Puck points out a white spot on Phoebe’s nose, Phoebe explains that it’s icing sugar.

Innocent Fanservice Girl: Although never naked, Phoebe does wear a variety of Stripperiffic outfits. She's also extremely naive, especially considering her parentage. Puck wears a short skirt 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 Ms. Fanservice.

Colour-Coded Emotions

comment
Colour-Coded Emotions: Coloured halos often appear around characters' heads, indicating various emotions. The most common one is the 'red halo of rage' which encircles Puck on a regular basis. When she's feeling warm or maternal, the halo is pink. Shock is shown through a yellow halo, and sickness or uneasiness is often green.

comment
Mundane Fantastic: Whilst there are definitely fantastical elements to the world in which Puck lives — the titular character is explicitly a 600+ year old Irish sidhe, her college roommate is Satan's Half-Human Hybrid 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 her prenuptial contract with Satan — don't expect it to ever show up or be used to make life easier for our heroes.

Literal Metaphor: When Phoebe breaks the news to Puck about the pregnancy, she says "You have a bun in the oven". Puck opens the oven and finds a cheese-onion bun. note The author considers this the dumbest joke he's ever done in the series. After Daphne scares the freckles off Puck, she leans on the fourth wall.
