Now is the time of the year for glorious leaf death and pissed off squirrels. Things are starting to look fantastic here in Sweden. I’m told to enjoy it while it lasts… soon it will be “lights out.” Thursday is the Fall Equinox when the nights become longer than the days.
This reflects my condition lately. I’ve been pounding a lot of nails. Unfortunately, life is not all about splattering giants. It was a real fight just to find some time to get the toons updated this week. Webcomics gurus recommend having a buffer of comics in the queue, but lately these are flying straight out of Photoshop onto the web.
What exactly is Mjolnir working on for Baldur? To be revealed next week!
Mjolnir has an independent spirt. All magical weapons do. But sometimes they let their excitement to run free and make their own decisions get the best of them. Lesson one as an independent contractor: never agree to do a “job” before you know what it is.
Frigg explains the value of direct communication to Baldur. Always express your wishes in clear, direct terms. Terms the Loki in your life can understand. Viking terms.
Announcement! Rich, tan people have discovered the secret mechanics of the universe! Nevermind the scientists with their 11 dimensions and string cheese theories; forget the yogis, the shamans, the rune casters, and the wise rabbis of yore… new age gurus have uncovered the secret wealth-and-health formula of the pharaohs and Rockefellers and made a movie with their findings. So begone bearded sky tyrants… humanity has the secret — and your number too.
Yeah, I know “The Secret” (2006) is a bit dated now, but I wasn’t making this comic yet when it was “revealed to the world,” so I’ve got some catching up to do. I wonder, now that it’s four years later, how many people who bought those secret books and videos are now yachting around the Caribbean lighting cigars with newly printed hundred dollar bills. Certainly the folks who wrote the books can afford to.
The saga continues…
Baldur tries to understand… for “crimes” against society, he is going to be whipped in public while Loki simply goes free? Loki explains, no, it’s not like that at all. He will be the one whipping Baldur. Fortunately he will spread the blows over both cheeks.
Yes, Loki has been going to the dark side lately. But what do you expect from the god who is destined to bring Ragnarok upon the Nine Worlds? I may need to change my avatar… it’s not like I support this kind of thing!
Baldur’s case has been reviewed by judicial counsel. The counsel has taken into consideration his young age and that this is his first offense. He will be let go with a mere warning this time…
Fifty lashes.
Loki laughs.
Jotuns are gathering on the frontier again. Thor is released from jail. Nevermind his violent bender… the realm needs Thor and his hammer to smack down giants. Hooray, justice still reigns in Asgard!
Justification, flattery, guilt… it’s all part of the hard sell prayer. What’s a human got to do nowadays to get a mere 23 grand and a couple dozen chickens?
