#702
This is one of those bits I’m not apologizing for. There is probably going to be a few more strips that do what this one does, which is unapologetically make jokes about the Norse mythos.
Just so you get it: Heimdell is the White God, thus the pure whiteness. Balder was killed by mistletoe, a favorite myth of mine, highly recommend you go check it out.
So errr.. yeah, that’s all today. Sorry about the lateness, just got back from Anime USA yesterday without any time to prepare before going to bed… Weds will be back on sched.
XOXO,
Jamie
Stumble it!

I’d like to thank “Top Ten” for teaching me the reference…

I got the last reference, but i’m not as well versed in Norse Mythology as I’d like to be, thanks or explaining :D.
It was hillarious once I got it.

That was amazing. I’ve loved Norse mythology since I was 3, and the story of Heimdell was always one of my favorites.

I got it, but then I once used “The Lay of Thrym” for inspiration for a halloween costume. My friend Eliza made the dress.

Yes! I laughed hysterically. Also, have you read Gaiman’s “American Gods”? Cause you should if you haven’t. It’s amazing in general, but especially you should read it. Or have you… and that’s where 1nt3rn3t spawned? Hmmm…

J, just thought I’d warn you before you get caught out in 9 strips time. #701 has been stored as #711. Might wanna fix that before you get to #711. Probably won’t cause an issue, but I thought I’d point it out just in cases.

And Loki’s behind it all… This’ll be good.
