Return date for my webcomic, Time and Time Again!

It's been set for a while but sometimes they change the date without warning, so I'll keep you updated if anything changes!

I'm extremely proud of the work I've been doing on it, I can't wait to share everything!

See you then!

[puck-luck]

can you please explain to me how fantasy hockey works? I would love to have my own little team next season but I just don’t understand how it works 😭

ok so this is my first season doing fantasy hockey!! i am by nooooo means an expert.

we are using ESPN fantasy. i already had an account from March Madness Bracket challenges in the past, so i didn't have to make a new one. we only have four people in the league i'm in: cappy, hanz, me, and one of hanz's hometown friends (who, btw, hasn't lost a week yet... but i'm kicking his BUTT now that i know how to use fantasy). in other years, i'm probably going to want to have more people in the league– or maybe we all could do a league together next season! it would be soooo cutie to have a little puck-luck league.

drafting involves setting a date and time where everyone is available to make picks (which is why it would be really difficult for a puck-luck league to exist, sigh), then you choose your picks in a pre-determined order: person a, b, c, d, d again, c, b, a, a again... etc. each person in my league chose 9 forwards, 5 defense, 1 utility, 5 bench players, and 2 goalies. hanz somehow chose 3 goalies, so i think she only has 8 forwards. there is also a spot for an IR player: mine is currently taken up by Mr. Mattias Samuelsson... the man with glass bones. i cannot drop him because i love him.

you can add/drop players at any time (unless they're actively playing a game). cappy is a fucking menace when it comes to add/drop, whereas i've only dropped one player in order to clear my IR spot for Titibear. if you want to know about add/drop in fantasy... go ask cappy. i don't do it enough to know about it.

there IS a list of "undroppables," which are predetermined by ESPN. there are 4 players from each position under undroppables, and three goalies. The list is as follows (the players on MY team are highlighted in green): (C) McDavid, Draisaitl, Matthews, MacKinnon. (LW) Panarin, B. Tkachuk, J. Robertson, Ovechkin. (RW) Rantanen, Pastrnak, M. Tkachuk, Kucherov. (D) Josi, Makar, Fox, Q. Hughes. (G) Shesterkin, Hellebuyck, Valisevskiy. SO, even if i wanted to, which i DON'T, i would not be able to drop draisaitl, mackinnon, ovechkin, or hellebuyck.

each day you have to move players from your bench to your active roster IF THEY ARE PLAYING. you want your players with games today to be in one of your forward or defense spots– example: Cole Caufield is not playing today. He was one of my forwards last night. Sidney Crosby IS playing today. He was not playing last night, so he was on my bench. I moved Sidney to Cole's forward spot, now Cole is on my bench. Tomorrow morning, I will move my players around again.

Every week, you face someone from your league and get points throughout the week. Whoever's team has the most points wins. If there are an odd number of people in your league, one person has a bye week. The bye week rotates. Cappy is currently on her bye week for ANOTHER league, but since our league only has four people, we play each other constantly. I faced Cappy last week and I beat her, since my team scored 162.8 points, while hers only scored 90.7. there were a lot of games last week, so that's why there were so many points... my current status is 73.6 vs. my opponent's 54.1, and there are three days remaining for us to score points (friday's games, saturday's games, and sunday's games). then, i will face a new opponent for the next week.

i hope my NOT brief explanation of fantasy hockey helped you! it was super fun to type this out. i may be wrong about some things, but this is the way iiiiiii understand ESPN Fantasy Hockey, and i'm just a girl who has literally never participated in fantasy sports before <3

Pr-INK calls

Haha, I’m hilarious. This is just a fic about Bendy prank calling people. It was really fun to write.

Did you know that prink is an actual word? Prink: v. to spend time making minor adjustments to one's appearance; primp. Neat, huh?

“Good morning! this is Sam’s Deli with the best dang grilled cheese sandwiches on this side of the Mississippi. How can I help you?”

“Well Ma’am, I simply have one urgent question for you: Is your refridgerator running?”

“Oh! Why, I do believe it is.”

“Well you better go catch it!”  click.

“Lawrence Residence.”

“Is a gal named ‘Jenny,’ at home?”

“Sir, no one by the name of ‘Jenny’ resides in this house.”

“...She told you to say that didn't she. DIDN’T SHE?!”

“Sir, I promise no one here is named-”

“OH, well this is just rich. A gal leaves a guy standing outside the theater for FIVE HOURS and pretends she ain’t home. Ain't this just swell.”

“Sir, I apologize for the misunderstanding and give you my deepest condolences for being stood up.”

“I was not stood up!”

“But this ‘Jenny’-”

“I was abandoned! Cheated!”

“Does not live here-”

“Scorned! Scoundreled! Hooly-hopkined!”

“I'm going to hang up now.”

“Flabber-gailed! Cathoodled! Rhapfooted!” click.

“Hullo?”

“Good evening sir! Have you ever heard of the Yodel Meter?”

“Bendy is that you?”

“Ah, yes the Yodel Meter, probably the most innovative invention of our time. What better way is there to measure the power of your yodel? There's none! Order now and receive five hundred Yodel Meters for only $700! Reach your full yodeling potential with the Yodel Meter today!”

“Bendy, you tried to selling me a Yodel Meter last week.”

“Oh no! We’re breaking up! How dreadful. See ya later Boris!”

“Wait just a gosh darn-” click.

“Who iiiiiiis it?”

“Bendy if you don't stop botherin’ folks this second-”

“Me!? Bother people!? Boris, I am appalled you would think so low of me. I would never!”

“Yesterday you put a bucket of ink over Mr. Malvin’s door.”

“He deserved it!”

“And then you put a fake spider in Mrs. Lory’s shoe.”

“She gave me a dirty look when I walked in front of her house!”

“You ran across her flower bed carrying a bucket of ink, spilling it everywhere while singing, ‘Sweet Violets.’”

“That was fun.”

“You have to stop!”

“Hmmmmmmmmm… Nah. Oh! And Boris?”

“What?”

“There should be around five hundred or so Yodel Meters arriving at the house today. I won't be there so if you could cover the bill that’d be just swell.”

“WHAT?!”

“Thanks for being such a pal!”

“No wait! Don't hang-”  click.

“...Hello?”

“Hello Miss! May I interest you in the new and marvelous invention-”

“Kenneth is that you?”

“Uh...no, I'm just-”

“Kenneth you need to stop calling me! We’re over, done, no more! You cheated on me for the last time! If you like those other girls so much, go date them!”

“Wait...girls? How many girls?”

“...Eight.”

“Pffft-HAhahaha. And you stayed with that loser?”

“...Is this really not Kenneth?”

“Well DUH. But Miss, heheh, you must be really thick in the head if you’ll stay with a guy after he cheated on you with eight different girls.”

“I’m not with him anymore! We broke up!”

“Uh-huh. Well, it sounds like the next time he comes to your door with a bouquet of roses and eyes full of crocodile tears that won’t be true anymore.”

“I mean… If he gives me roses.”

“HA! Listen honey, I’m gonna give you some advice. Next time this Kendal-” “Kenneth.”

“Ya, sure, whatever. Next time he comes over I want you to take one look at those roses, look him straight in the eyes, and tell him where he can stick them.”

“Where?”

“In the trash of course! Where he belongs. Then you slam the door in his face and go find yourself a better man. No man who’ll cheat eight times is worth his ink.”

“Yeah...yeah you’re right! I’m not gonna let him back in my life! Roses or no he’s not worth it! His treacherous, sinister...sad...deep...beautiful blue eyes….WILL HOLD NO MORE POWER OVER ME!! I’m done forever! No more Kenneth!”

“Mhm-hm. Sounds great. I’m soooo proud of you. Oh, and by the way, is your refridgerator running?”

“...Yes?”

“Then you’d better go catch it!”  click.

Nerd time: So, I actually calculated how much i think 500 yodel meters would cost (and yes, they were really a thing in the 1920s/30s). I couldn’t find an exact cost on google :( but on amazon a metranome/instrument tuner all in one costed $20 so I calculated that if 1$ back then was equivalent to $140 now, then $20 of now money would cost $1.4 back then. Then I multiplied it by 500 and voila! That’s how I estimated it would cost $700 dollars for 500 yodel meters. To put that into perspective, the average cost of a brand new car was $640 back then. Yup. I’m sorry-not-sorry I’m a nerd :P
