Annotated 27-8
Phil and I were still having some tense arguments behind the scenes, and I’m glossing over some of those because I’m tired of dwelling on them. But we did have a rewarding one here about Frigg’s mode of speech and how much cleverness it should incorporate. The thrust of it was that 4chan itself is not actually that clever, so you can’t get away with too much of your own cleverness if that’s what you’re trying to replicate. That was Phil’s side: mine was that we would have to change up the insults a little bit here and there. If we didn’t, it might be true to 4chan, but it would also be boring, and almost nothing is worth boring the reader.
So “douchemuzzle” stayed but “vagface,” Phil eliminated as too much. “Blue-lips” we got rid of together; I don’t know what I was thinking with that one.
Phil came up with Frigg’s original last line here, “Sort of want!” But I doubt Frigg would have any reservations about this hunk of beef showing up in her sex dream, and Phil agreed.
Apologies, there was a problem with the publication date on this one. It went up about seven hours late, which may mess with some of your feeds.
I always enjoyed Frigg and Gravedust’s weirdly warm relationship. Talk about unlikely friends.
The wolf-god’s nose looks almost like a human skull in panel one.
Is it weird that I always (still) see it as a bear, not a wolf?
(but the nose is totally a skull)
update: in the last panel the head does look more like a wolf’s, but in the last panel, the body also looks more like a human, and somewhat too thin and warped … it’s all a mad dream of course, so things look however they look but I kinda disregarded that picture when deciding what animal the spirit guide was. Still a bear to me :)
“Okay now we’re talking.” When you walk in the room can be one of the greatest compliments you can ever receive.
Also, I love how Wolf-God is like, the wise dwarf called me on my shit, this is boring, now there’s two of them, I’m going home.
