I thought it was sort of a Highlander parody. But maybe that’s just because I rewatched that movie last week.
The strip has lost a lot without any regular characters. There’s no back story to the humor anymore.
I dont even read it every Sunday anymore. I’ll stop by once in awhile and read three or four weeks at one visit.
That second Immortal guy is a dick. I think Morag should just chain him to a rock or something.
You often see stories where immortality is portrayed as a curse. I’ve seen “the good news is, you’re now immortal - the bad news is the other immortals are evil and out to kill/absorb you.” I’ve never seen “the bad news is the other immortals are dicks and you’re going to suffer unending intermittant irritation.”
Morag doesn’t seem to appreciate the guy’s friendly greeting very much. So I don’t think it’s considered normal – it’s just an annoying habit which this particular guy has. In fact, I don’t think the guy with the sword is an immortal himself?
By the way, is Morag male or female?
Morag is a female name and the character has breasts.
“Morag” is a feminine name in (I think) Gaelic, and the character looks pretty clearly female.
New one’s late…sign of Ivan coming?
Hey, those are the same Brothers of Happenstance we saw in Curse of the Funpire. Love how their rosaries have dice on them! 
Do not get.
I think it’s just that the monks worship luck and Morag got really unlucky in her fight with the funpire. So, irony.
Also, she’s immortal. So she’s not dead, just very pissed off with her current circumstances.
Pretty weak for a two pager, though. All that stuff about worshiping luck doesn’t seem to serve a purpose.
So what?
Meh.
Bring back Ivan!
Right. Mostly, I’m just left with questions. What happened to the rest of her body? Is she just a head now for eternity? Can her head be reattached, if her body is still around? Even if it’s been hacked to pieces, since all the pieces are immortal, they should be recoverable, right? Could you pound an immortal torso into dust? Presumably the dust would then be immortal, but it’d be pretty ineffective. Is this a fate that befell other followers of Sithrak? How’d Sithrak die anyway? From Wowbagger to Morag, immortality seems very much to be blessed with suck.
My guess is “Ivan is dead, unless the author ever decides to retcon that he wasn’t quite dead”. I’d love to be wrong but I don’t think we’re going to see him anytime soon.
The author has stated on twitter that Ivan’s story isn’t finished and that they’re hoping to start the next installment sometime in early 2012. (Which at this point, I’m assuming means sometime before the 6 month mark.)
No no no no no no no no no!!
See, Morag makes war for the pious against the ungodly, so when she undertakes on behalf of the (godless) Brothers of Happenstance to “stoke the holy fires of retribution to consume those who would destroy [them]”, she ends up annihilating HERSELF!!
Get it??
…I think?..
The ali-text is for pg. 2 is “Fortune favors the alive”. That, plus Highlander, tells me that Morag is dead.
Morag doesn’t look dead. Annoyed and inconvienenced, yes, but not dead.
It will probably take quite a while to heal back an entire body.
(Kinda “Meh” on this one myself.)
