Death to all gods! Long live human art and culture! Huh? Forget about religious militants… militant secular humanists are the ones to look out for!
It’s been a while since Odin fried someone with a lightning bolt. Definitely overdue. What better target than those wild pesky secular humanists?
Just how often does Mjolnir run amok? Only when Thor has had a little too much to drink. Baldur is understandably concerned…
Thor explains that he can’t use Mjolnir when he is passed out… so why shouldn’t Mjolnir use himself?
But isn’t Thor worried that one of these days he might not see Mjollnir again? Not really — and you can thanks the dwarves for this:
He always comes back.
Baldur and Thor continue to rot in Heimdall’s jail. Fortunately, Baldur sees a familiar shape on the horizon… Mjolnir, returning home from his killing spree vacation in Jotunheim! Now they will be rescued for sure!
Mjolnir whooshes past the jail and sails over the mountains. After Mjolnir runs amok killing giants, Thor explains, he likes to pop over to Alfheim and smash a few elves to wind down. Yep, it’s magical weapon Miller Time.
The gods don’t like it when their magical weapons run wild. When they come home after a night on the town dripping with blood and brains. They say their magical weapons are short sighted and too single minded to make their own decisions. Mjolnir disagrees…
He follows a very simple and elegant philosophy: The Way of the Hammer.
If it moves, smash it!
Summer. Jotunheim. Good day for picnic. Man-kabob taste good. Please pass elf brain salad. Pappa, why me see tool fly in sky?
Mjolnir scores himself a triple crown, and the day is still young!
Incidentally, this is the first time one of the mysterious “giant women” has appeared in Odin and Friends. I hope I captured a bit of the monstrous sexuality that has caused many a warrior to sneak over the high mountain passes in hope of a secret rendez-vous. Those are jeans-shorts, by the way.
Jotunheim. Air Defense Border Post 7B. An alarm rings and the intrepid giant guards scramble into action… well, sort of. Jotuns are not known for being particularly savvy when it comes to technology. The new missile defense system just isn’t working out for them. Perhaps they should return to hurling rocks from the rocky cliffs of their homeland.
Thor has gotten himself arrested again. When he starts drinking, there is no telling what is going to happen next. He probably expects Mjolnir to break him out of jail — just like every time before. Sure, Mjolnir will rescue Thor, but he’s making a little detour first… Jotunheim.
When the gods are away, the magical weapons will play!
Thor was making a few repairs on his mead hall and feeling a bit hot and thirsty. He should not have used beer to quench his thirst. Now his mead hall is a pile of ashes and an unknown child is calling him daddy. And has anyone seen Mjolnir lately?
Frigg is worried about her youngest son. She has just learned that Baldur and Loki are in jail for attempting to smuggle contraband into Asgard. She doesn’t want those burly vikings loving on Baldur all night long. Odin is content to let the boys sit a while. They need to learn an important lesson: when bringing loot into Asgard, the good stuff goes to Odin!
