Plan B: Have faith in Frigg.
The B stands for Badass.
If Phil doesn’t goldstar you, anyone he /does/ goldstar better seriously say something proufound and punny. Just saying!
Well, now you just guaranteed he won’t.
HOW HAVE PEOPLE NOT LEARNED HOW THIS WORKS BY NOW?
Every day of this comic is someone’s first day in the comments section. Until Phil puts up a disclaimer there will always be someone that doesn’t know how this works.
This is not me being critical of how this site is run as there very well could be a logical for the whole thing. I am simply stating that without a warning of some sort newcomers should not be blamed for making this blunder.
….And I don’t believe the fact that Silva is nowhere near new disproves my point (even if it doesn’t apply here.) :P
Anyone who’s been here long enough to know about Phil’s gold stars has been here long enough to know how they work.
I didn’t!
https://youtu.be/ZWphqA1Slrw
“Spaceballs…….!?”
I’m laughing little aliens out of my nose….!
I just don’t always read the comments. Sometimes I’m on a panel-binge. And now that I know… honestly, if I can’t type honest silliness here, where /can/ I type it? Especially as relates to this comic? I mean, I’m sure nobody’d care if I go back to older panels to comment, but that runs the risk of me leaving SPOILERS for those folks people point to the beginning of this comic. What? Start a blog? Why? Last one I started got shut down because I didn’t post to it enough.
I figure it works how Phil wants it to work. He’s too important to GA to let one person’s words change it. ^_^
I endorse this message.
+1 Internet for you, good sir!
And I agree entirely as well. :D
Or possibly for Bloody idiot.
Hey alt-text, if she left the coffemaker on, shouldn’t she change her berserker mantra to “KEURIG KEURIG KEURIG?”
In my experience, the berserker mantra of “KILL KILL KILL” is more common in people who’ve forgotten to turn the coffeemaker on.
Seems to a pretty common response to actually making the mistake of buying a Keurig too.
Hey, I love my Keurig. It absolutely curbs my homicidal tendencies!
For some reason that gravatar seems very appropriate for this comment.
Without the Keurig we have at work, there would be a whole lot of homicide occurring!
That’s the wolf speaking?
That or somehow it is Rachel.
Or Byron, or maybe even Gravy.
Full name, big white type, it’s the Rage Wolf. Frigg is about get angry at being angry. That’ll cause a confusion, yesirree.
WOOOO! Hey, Wolf-God, izzat you? Way to (finally) show up!
Frigg: survivor of beatings, of being killed, of being poisoned, and finally … to BEAT THE BERZERKER ON HER OWN! (hopefully I’m not speaking too soon).
I ditto that hopefulness.
I hopeful that dittoness too.
I hitto that dopefulness too.
Need coffee.
WHO DID NOT TURN ON THE COFFEE MAKER!!!!?
Oh, it was me….leaving now ….
I knew this was coming. To be honest, I think the way she’s been doing the Beserker growl/howl thing has sounded like she’s wanted to say “fuck” the whole time. I think Frigg’s been fighting it, but nobody is supposed to be able to do so. The Wolf God is here to remind her that “supposed to do” is something she’s built against.
Frigg Heterodyne: “Awwww, you brought out the dynamite for ME? How sweet!”
Frigg Elric: “Stop ‘zerking me arooound!”
Frigg Heterodyne: it’s kind of like how Agatha’s mental resistance increases when she hums, except in Frigg’s case it’s centered around obscenities.
Any plan in which you lose your hat… is a bad plan.
And the Sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall and said, “You’re our boy.”
Didn’t feel too good about it?
And one of the biggest meanest looking father-rapers of them all came over to me and asked “what did you do?”
I said “littering.”
And they all moved away from me.
And then I said, “And creating a public nuisance!”
It’s about time.
This is like the happiest strip ever.
I’ve been waiting so long for this.
Woohoo
Deus ex Berzerka
So…
It begins.
One pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch and KABLOOEY!
Two parts plutonic quaaarks… one part cesiuuum… and listen, I’m sorry about yelling earlier, I couldn’t ask for a better staff, I love you guys and I love your families. And the final ingredieeent…
What makes me a good Demoman???
IF I WAS A BAD DEMOMAN I WOULDN’T BE SITTIN’ HERE DISCUSSIN’ IT WITH YA NOW WOULD I?
Akerfeldt? Now that’s some name, never realized that before.
…how often must I tell you! ALWAYS wash your hands BEFORE you go on a berserk rampage. You might infect someone.
KISS.KISS.KISS.KISS.KISS.KISS.KISS.

KISS and makeup?
I would love to see Frigg throw this shit off, and see our intrepid heroes start to turn things around. They’ve been on the ropes far quite a bot now, and it’s time to start kicking ass and taking names.
Agreed.
2 is 1
1 in none
Remind me why using potions of swiftness to explodinate the science for an instant pit, then dropping berzerkerFrigg into said pit isn’t an option? I mean, it’s not like the wind mages there have been totally incompetent in keeping Frigg at bay.
Then again, I guess clever plans and teleport magics are for when your boyfriend isn’t as risk.
I KNOW! Just “Sky-portal” her to a tar pit, and let her exhaust herself! Or let Hollister keep her blinded! Or (though I’ve never seen him do this before) have E-Merl put FRIGG in the circlet, or have him do his multiples-thing and make her chase holograms all day, or …
See, Syr? Think outside the box. Just because you’ve got a concealed TNT license doesn’t mean it’s the automatic answer for every sitch.
Tar Pit: Likely to be as lethal as exploding and much less humane seeing as how Frigg will literally suffocate to death. If she is in anyway capable of getting out of the pit, then the plan as failed. What you may be thinking of as a way to immobilize her is a glue trap.
Circlet: Only works around E-merl so that works for abotu a second before Frigg murders him and then proceeds to kill everyone else.
Blinding: Byron was able to use simple but effective tactics while berserked, such as crushing Friggs ribcage with the blunt ends of his axes. Frigg has a large shield she can angle in front of her eyes if need be. This is maybe a ‘buy a few more minutes’ sort of a plan at best.
Holograms: He can’t make holos of everyone else, only himself. So they are still at risk of dying. Plus, I don’t recall that plan working for too long against the remnants of the bloodshot eye, none of which had invicnible rage juice going for them.
Teleports: Have we ever seen a teleport used on anyone who wasn’t willing? Because that would be a great way to end a war, just one by one teleport the enemy about 100 feet in the air and let them fall to their doom.
Instant Pit: This is science, not magic. The pit needs to be both deep enough for a rage and zeal powered fanatic not to leap out and steep enough for her not to climb her way out. Both of these factors need to be accurately and perfectly crafted in the space of a handful of seconds while dealing with an immediate threat.
And most of all, if anyone even thought one of these plans would work, they would have suggested it. Syr’nj is very much saying “Does anyone else have a plan?”
No one is offering a plan and Syr’nj is not willing to risk all of their lives on a plan that is only going to by a short reprieve before another more permanent plan needs to be used anyway.
So basically eMerl now = Jughead Jones, improbably dapper pointer outer of inconveniently annoying double standards, and giver of zero floocks?
Oooh, can I play?
Syr = Ms. Grundy
Bandit = Betty
Sundar = Mr. Weatherbee
Frigg = Moose
Gravedust = Mr. Svenson (janitor)
WAV = Dilton
Best (pre-WAV) = Reggie
Byron = tragic Archie
Awww… couldn’t I have just a little bit of peril?
“You installed that pop-up blocker weeks ago, just turn it on.”
Ha!
Those white lines in the last panel, are they meant to indicate motion? Because the way they’re drawn, they seem to indicate Frigg is moving backwards. Except the group in front of her is obviously getting closer.
Or are the lines there to show that the KILL signs are flying toward her and past her, like the stars in that old Windows 95 screensaver?
I call them … Actionlinez! (TM)
Yes! Insanity Wolf God! Let’s do this shit! I’m kinda hoping Light Armor Frigg will fight Berserker Field Frigg inside her head. There’d be this brutal cerebral brawl going on, lots of headbutts and groin shots, and Frigg’s body either stands still or swings at the air wildly, leaving everybody else furrowing their brows in confusion.

re: alt-text
“Shit! I gotta kill you guys later, I better go turn off the coffee maker before it explodes coffee all over my kitchen*!”
* I’ve seen the after effects of that very thing, very messy
Knew it!
INSANITY WOLF TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!!11! 8D
Oh and uuhh, I never really considered this before, but Frigg’s last name is funny because “åker” (probably related to the English “acre”) is a Swedish word that means “field”, and “feldt” is an oldish spelling of “fält”, which means… “field”.
So… Frigg Fieldfield.
Apparently, it actually is a last name that people have.
I hear that Fields only like to get plowed by the Best these days.
So I’d say it’s appropriate enough.
Well, he did plow her field twice…
(I am so pleased with my avatar right now.)
Not to be a downer, but I think this is going to be setting us up for another gut punch – Frigg has an insanity wolf moment, successfully manages to beat the berzerker curse itself in a moment of triumphant badassery….and then gets blown up anyway because the peacemakers aren’t finished making mistakes yet.
Huh. Everyone seems to be relating the coffee to the killing, not the comment re complaints about management.
So, he can recreate his keyboard?
KID, HAVE YOU REHABILITATED YOURSELF?
Wrong page. Strike this from the record, while the poster reminds herself yet again not to comment while only half awake.
