New character time, guys! These two are known collectively as “The Puffs,” and they’ve got a story to tell. In fact, they’ll be a major catalyst in moving the story forward. I’d put off drawing this strip for a long time. About two months, I think.
All this came about, of course, because Robinson ate the cookies from the tree back in strip 25.

It’s a good thing they’re not called “the poufs”! There’s only one pouf around here.
Do they speak with an accent?
If they do, it’s not shown in print, so you can use whatever accent you like.
I’ve heard people say they read Flying Man with an English accent – it’s not canon, but hey, if it works.
How much “canon” can you really have in a weird strip like this anyway?
Well, maybe a little bit.
As far as accents go, you can read them however you like, but Flying Man will always have a particular voice in my head (though it’s changed since I started doing the strip – now it’s more like the neutral voice I read book dialog in).
New Characters!
Absolutely!
Dad approves!
Heh, then we’re good to go.
This is awesome. lol. I can’t think of the voice that the puffs remind me of but it’s definitely an England accent
I’ve always imagined Flying Man with a deeper, upbeat voice, with a formal tone to it. The Puffs seem like they’re from France and England, respectively, based upon the hats. Perhaps gentle, child-like voices?
@xiegfried: Yes! Exactly! France and England is what I’m thinking. Idk about flying man he just seems to come off as a more normal tone, but more up beat and yes slightly formal..
Maybe one day Ian will make a video of them with voice for a change of pace
lol
Woohoo! unexpected new characters! way to go!
Heh, I don’t know about making a video – I’m not exactly the “man of a 1000 voices” – it wouldn’t be nearly as interesting as what you hear in your head!
But the puffs are definitely an important part of the story. In fact, you’ll see them again next Friday, I believe. Things will happen.
Yes, a video would be fantastic! Perhaps with plush toys of the characters? Only time will tell, but I’m already a supporter of the idea!
If I could get a plush Flying Man that would be hardcore lol.
I just realized that Christmas is on a Friday. You know what that means!? Santa is going to leave us a new Flying Man comic in our Stockings! er, RSS Feeds! Woo!
hahahahah this was posted the day I made a website!
I will definitely be doing a Christmas strip, just so you all know.
And what kind of website are you doing, Sploder?
a penguin one.
IM BACK ITS ME MASTER DYLLY but im on my DSI cause my dad has banned me from computer
this comic is PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!!
Awesome new characters!
Is the cookie tree glowing?
Maybe a little bit.
It helped it stand out more from the background.
robinson didnt know it was the puffballs coockie tree!
Haha, I seriously read that as “coochie tree.”
there is also dookie pookie fookie snookie and gookie
I read these guys with a french accent, and Flying Man with an English one. I hear Robinson as a mouse, and in the one comic that Mr. Stinky “made” I heard his voice as… just plain creepy. When I first read this comic I thought that was an apple tree from the last comic. I never realized it was the cookie tree until you put the updated characters page.
But apples don’t have spots!
I approve of your voice selection, though.
[...] friends, the Puffs, first appeared in strip 52, where they realized their cookie harvest had been stolen. Mr. Stinky’s cheese was created [...]
