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.
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.
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?
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?
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!
