Dammit, they taught me about Hooker in engineering school, and I don't get the joke.

Guys I think we have taken this beyond the limit and the thread has permanently deformed.

I apologize for the tangent, so in order to make some restitution I will try to bring this thread back to equilibrium by offering the following observation:

I hate it when chicks spit blood up my dick.

[kaylasdad99]

I'm guessing you really only hate finding out afterward that they did it, and that when they're doing it you haven't the slightest objection.

Oh, and by the way...

[sps49sd]

I am not convinced that Navaan was spitting up blood. She has gotten all the information from the prisoner, doesn't need him anymore, wants to suck out the rest of his blood, and is keeping him calm until too late.

And damn, she looks good in her 1st panel. I'm not sure if I am disappointed by or respect Grier blocking the gratuitous upskirt in her last panel.

[Hypno-Toad]

I just realized that the password to get into the chamber is also the very thing that you need to kill the funsnake: a stick.

Well, a pretend sword. Which a stick can be, anyway.

Maybe that was the riddle!!!

[Malacandra]

Hah. Trust Navaan to get sidetracked. But surely Grier has been taken prisoner for later sacrifice to the funsnake, which Navaan will arrive to interfere with in an amusing fashion, because it would be just so bogus otherwise.

[AndrewL]

That is one quite proper fake sword she's made.

[Malacandra]

Also: Nice gag with the whack-a-mole stall; and Morag the Immortal does not look too pleased (though, really, why would she?).

[Malacandra]

Called it right so far. Grier is badass enough to taunt her captors into tying her face-first to the stake just so she can

SPOILER:

shin up it and free herself... only to finally fall prey to the fun-god's power despite her immense willpower and general grumpiness. Come on, Navaan, this is no time to be a ditz!

And well done Morag the Immortal on being the world's most peeved alarm clock!

[ultrafilter]

I think the pacing of this story will work in the archives or a print collection, but at three pages a week, it seems to be dragging a little bit. Here's hoping they wrap it up soon and get back to writing comics with punchlines.

Grier punched two or three in the first comic. What more do you want?

[Le Ministre de l'au-delà]

I love the detail that three pages a week provides. Navaan is drooling in her sleep, for example...

[hogarth]

Must...resist...fun...

[sps49sd]

I'm disappointed by the use of "fukken" instead of "fuckin'", but that's my cross to bear.

I just watched Richard Hammond (on Crash Course) scale a tree with spikes and a rope; Grier must have some nice, strong thighs to match his use of foot spikes.

With glitter and glued-on elbow macaroni, yet. I mean, if you're gonna kill a fun god, it may as well be fun, right?

[Knorf]

Thus endeth fun.

Maybe.

[carnut]

Hilarious. Don't let the mule drink the water.

[ArrMatey!]

Okay, confused. What was it that Navaan threw? I'm getting she had the 'fake deaths' set up beforehand, but ... How could those kill something?

[Knorf]

Notice Grier's comment in the ante-penultimate panel.

[Malacandra]

Most awesome. Leaves poor Morag a disembodied head, but they can sort that out another time. Grier's famously direct approach shows up again on the last page in response to the assertion that the fun cult will last as long as the temple stands.

[carnivorousplant]

Was it whatever the guy she was seducing lost from his pocket?

[Tamerlane]

Yup. The "fake death" egg, which calls back to Navaan and Grier's first encounter.

[carnivorousplant]

Thanks, I missed that connection.

[Knorf]

Yup. "Standing" is something that temple won't be doing.

Still, sad to think of all of the fun going away. Couldn't they keep some of the fun?

[Tangent]

Yes, it was one of those "fake death" egg thingies that she's used before to create a dead "copy" of her body. It killed the fun god because, as we learned previously, he is the god of fakes.

And yet another nemesis learns why you should never taunt Grier.

[sps49sd]

That fun guy should've learned from the "Purity Is Strength" cult- keep your weakness a secret!

Especially to a pissed off Grier.

The most important thing is to not piss off Grier.

[Princhester]

Why did the emanations from the fun god draw Grier and Navaan in, but instead cause everyone else in the room to get horny?

[Lynn Bodoni]

Hell, she's permanently pissed off. She's got three settings: Pissed Off, Really Pissed Off, and Totally Pissed Off. The best you can hope for is Pissed Off. Or offer her a big bag of gold. This lowers her PO setting one notch.

[DrFidelius]

The temple is very flammable.

[aceplace57]

I felt a little bad for the fun god. Burning the temple seemed extreme.

I wonder if that immortal lady will get a new body?

Good question.

I was a little disappointed that there was no epilog to this story arc. Maybe it's not over yet, and next week Navaan will break a fake death egg over Morag's head, and generate a body that way.

Which raises the question: if a fake death egg is used on Morag the Immortal, what comes up?

[Johnny L.A.]

Most fun things are.

[JRDelirious]

"As a parasite, I resent that"

But of course it's not fun per se that is bad, it's worshiping pleasure-seeking as a goal in itself under the guise of "fun".

It's the Oglafverse, orgies are the standard group entertainment activity (except for the Monks of Happenstance and the dwellers of the phantom Magical City, apparently). Not having set up inside the temple hall the various other fun activities from the fair (many of which we saw were already of a sexual nature), they went for what they could do by themselves. The Fungod uses its power more directly on those who are a threat so that they will come to it for destruction, everyone else is just in a general pleasure trance.

Maybe it would have led them into terminal mercenary-on-vampire Girl/Girl action... but when Grier noticed the fake sword, that worked on one of her triggers: though she may deny it, dealing violence IS a form of fun ("I've been getting into slapstick").




And, um, I sure hope the Monks of Happenstance have some gold...

Wild ass speculation.

The Fun God (whatever it is) originally existed and used its powers to trap its prey. It stimulated its victims' pleasure center so they were unable to resist being eaten.

Eventually some people figured out how to use the Fun God safely. Just stake some victims out in the arena for the Fun God to eat and everyone else up in the stands got the benefit of mindless pleasure without the downside of being eaten. The cult basically grew from this.

That never crossed my mind, but that would be a very elegant solution to her dilemma.

[Princhester]

I don't doubt that your explanations are correct but dammit this is Oglaf. The author virtually promised that somehow Navaan would end up in an orgy in the Fun God's chamber. I demand the mercenary-on-vampire Girl/Girl action I was promised!

[Waxwinged]

Or, at least, immortal-head-on-mercenary action? Come on. Something's got to give...

A fake dead head?

[Gyrate]

Maybe they could stitch her head onto one of Navaan's dead bodies? She's got a room full of them after all.

Because all gods demand sacrifices, and priests are smart. It's always best to sacrifice outsiders and foreigners to the god than members of your own congregation. Everybody distrusts foreigners, and if you cut out the still beating heart of a congregant once too often, people will stop worshipping and giving money out of basic survival instinct. It's like the opposite of the saying 'there are no atheists in foxholes'.

What's the opposite of a foxhole?

[Le Ministre de l'au-delà]

A dog hole.

She has four settings. You forgot smugly showing that she can do something you thought was impossible. Especially if it hurts you a lot. Remember, it's not a magic rope.

[Little Nemo]

Belated, but I just got the reference in the last panel of the current strip. It refers back to this strip.

I thought it would make more sense when I went back through it afterwards.

[Maastricht]

But who killed the monks in the monks temple of luck, if it wasn't Navaan and it wasn't the fun god?

[Kimstu]

They weren't killed in their own monastery/convent/temple/whatever the residence of the Brothers of Happenstance is called.

They were fake-deathed there and their "corpses" were left in situ (like the one that Grier examined) while the monks themselves were hauled off to the Temple of the Fungod for ritual sacrifice.


Oh, and I just want to say I think this was the best story arc yet. Still wondering what's happened to Ivan, but the rest of the cast are keeping me plenty entertained while I wait to find out.
