Description
My wife hissed with anger when she read this one. “Way to swiftly and effectively eliminate whatever gravitas she had with his family before she even meets them,” she said. “Colin’s an idiot. He’s well-meaning, but he’s an idiot.”I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Wendy's is everywhere in North America ... and nowhere else. It's weird.

It's a fast food company, right? Is it good?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's the best big-chain hamburger company in North America. It's sort of like McDonald's if the food tasted really good.

I smell franchise potential. I'd eat at a restaurant called Puck's, wouldn't you?

Sounds vaguely unappetizing to me.

there are worse fast food mascots she could resemble. maybe Collin's family is the type who'd be impressed by their son datin' the wendy's girl.
well, she's not 'envious' of his ability to use the incorrect word. sorry, but it bothers me when people use jealousy when they me envy. i'll just assume colin doesn't know the difference

You assume correctly.

How long have you known about this connection between Puck and Wendy's?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It just occurred to me a few months ago when my kids dragged me to Wendy's. Which was, I think, the first time I'd been to Wendy's in over a decade.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For a second I wondered if Wendy's was the inspiration behind Puck.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would almost seem that way, wouldn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The cultural reference escapes me, unfortunately.

Wendy's is one of the biggest fast food chains on Earth (I think the third largest?), but it's only in operation in North America, unfortunately. The mascot (modeled after the founder's daughter) looks a heck of a lot like Puck.

Thank you for the explanation.

Collin's main talent will soon be ..sleeping on the couch.

Incredible descriptive talents... Mine aren't as incredible as Collin's, but I've unintentionally got people angry at me before!

Some people just can't be kept happy, right? Am I right?

And that person is my younger brother

At least he didn't say Ronald McDonald.
Why does she see it as a insult? Wendy is an attractive red-headed media character. Although maybe he could have said "the woman from the Wendy's commercials".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know of few women who say "Yes, I want to resemble a burger mascot." Just saying. Women are weird that way.

I like how Puck admits that she has flaws. And you're totally right, she looks just like the Wendy's girl. Nice job on the mirror reflections, btw.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I had to draw the mirror reflections on a separate layer. It was kind of painful. Mirrors are hard to do right.

It's not his fault she looks like that chick on the Wendy's sign.

Well, you got a point. He's just making a casual observation.

If Wendy, an Elf, and Pippy Longstockings had a baby, it would be Puck.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that sounds a bit right.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
She looks more like Pippi Longstockings.
If Colin's family gets to be too obnoxious, she can always give them the heads of jackasses!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but my careful research indicates that a decidedly smaller portion of the population knows who Pippi Longstockings is.
