I think Odin could have placed the missile defense system a little further down valley, but who knows.
Odin finally gets a tour of Baldur’s mead hall, and what do you know, it’s not so bad — relatively speaking. Jotun prisons, of course, are no country clubs.
House plants are so versatile. Children love them… so do spiders looking for a home and cats looking for a place to take a dump. House plants provide beauty, fresh oxygen, and yes… even a place to vomit. So treat them well!
For some reason they always leave this part out of the Viking movies… livestock in the house. Mead halls, presumably, could be quite cozy during the long winter months.
I know it’s been a long time coming and thanks to everyone who has been anticipating Baldur’s mead hall since I mentioned it back in January. Ultimately Baldur decided to go with a traditional design for his new home. Of course, what does this word “traditional” really mean? Seems like whether you are talking food, religion, politics, or architecture, everyone has their own definition. In any case, Baldur is quite happy with his modest new home and Odin is wondering what he did to piss off the Norns.
Today is the fall equinox.
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.
It’s understandable. Not everyone wants to crowd up their mead hall with massive, severed giant skulls. But surely everyone has room for three or four human skulls. Or a few dwarf skulls. Or half a dozen elf skulls. Any smaller than that, and we’re talking rodents. And that just won’t do…
When I was a young kid I once found a dead animal and my grandfather taught me “how to see the bones” by placing the lifeless creature on an ant hill and letting the little buggers have a smorgasbord. I found the whole procedure both fascinating and nightmarish, Practically speaking, it’s a great method for cleaning skulls — and ecofriendly too I might add. I figure crabs probably do a similarly good job, and that seemed a bit more Viking for some reason (I remember someone being eaten by crabs in the movie, The Vikings). Enjoy! 😛
