That’s valid for the world and characters within a story arc. The comic is about telling jokes, sometimes with recurring worlds and characters, but sometimes not. There’s no reason to assume Ivan and the duo searching for the fountain of youth could ever possibly meet up (for example). They seem to be from very different times and places. Trying to link all of the situations and characters in the comic to the same milieu is a fool’s errand.
There seem to be at least three major continuities, and many minor ones. You’ve got Mistress/Ivan/etc., you’ve got Grier/Shapeshifters/Vanka/Ice Queen/Dude Out for Justice/Allegorical Allegory, and you’ve got King Skull-of-an-enemy/Polymorphing Wizard/Kronar. Plus minor recurring characters like the Explorers, Oglaf, and the Labyrinth King, but I don’t think they’ve crossed over with anyone else.
Will we ever see any more crossovers? Probably. There’s speculation that Grier was the Son of Kronar (in which case we can at least say that the comic does not have unity of time), and I wouldn’t be shocked to see one of those cross over with Ivan at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet.
I’m pretty sure that Florida doesn’t have magical fountains either. 
Shows what you know.
Ahh! Anyone else catch the new product being offered? I am so getting one!
Lizard of Guilt Plush!
Eh, I’d only regret it later.
Latest strip, Prowess. That’s just plain cruel!
I can see how an item like that might help him sleep with every woman in the village, but never the same woman twice. Sooner or later his “pool” will be exhausted but his cock won’t.
I see that they are now selling a Lizard of Guilt plush toy.
A great Obli…Valentine’s Day gift!
God, this is unfunny.
Hey, the “Oglaf is unfunny and teh suxor” thread is over thattaway. points
This is the “Olgaf appreciation thread.”
Thanks.
Where’s the mini mod thread? I think we’re both lost.
It is not against the rules to say you don’t find something funny. (Calling anyone who does find it funny an asshole would be against the rules.)
And leave the modding to the mods, please.
Thanks,

I didn’t get it at first, both because I missed the tie to Valentine’s Day and because I misunderstood “words of obligation” as being words that cause obligation rather than words that result from obligation. Once I understood the joke, that it’s making fun of the fact that you kind of have to tell your partner how much you love them on V-day, so it doesn’t really mean anything and isn’t actually romantic, I thought it was pretty funny–or would have been if I had gotten it the first time.
Alt text and such for Obligation Day:
alt “and start loving… now”
title “We’re not actually this cynical. Honest. Anything that gets you laid is fine by us.”
Alas, if only…
Yet oddly it makes for a compelling vignette of two women discussing their mutual lothario.
So… how was he?
He was amazing. Hung like a…a man.
Worked you over did he?
God yes! He gave me all 6 inches for a whole 5 minutes. I’m stunned I could walk the next day!
Love skull is now officially my favorite Oglaf character.
…And I’m trying not to be that cynical, really!
Are you sure you’re not just obligated to say that right now?
