Tom Waits is an amazing person, and I am very glad that I can still find people in unlikely places that know of him. He’s a fantastic musician, and a pretty good actor too.
Also, thanks to you I now know of those videos.
I think maybe the alt-text is slightly off the target though. The god isn’t out on business, he’s merely “out to lunch.” As in, over the edge, off his rocker…Ya’ know, stark raving looooooney tooooooones.
Why do they follow him anyways? Brother Tom helped them believe in their religion and had his visions and charisma, but I don’t recall a point explaining why HR took over after Brother Tom passed. And now it seems odd that the explanation would come later.
That’s always been his style. Even in the lead-up to Ferris’ murder. (He was more sombre, during, but even then he was spouting pleasantries.) Oddly, dealing with Carol in the aftermath was one of the few times we’ve seen him actually seem peeved.
It’s probably part of his success – he’s the sort of boss who breeds loyalty, and who people think they’re lucky to work under until they stumble over the secret he’s willing to kill them to protect.
He’ll come back to a cavern full of dead followers since they all decided to “give themselves a raise”.
Maybe then HE’LL feel like giving them a raise. A raise dead, hopefully.
Guy’s/God’s gotta have minions, ya’know?
Animate dead will suffice… not enough undead in this story. And with Gravedust changing the rules, it fits.
Watch for HR’s upcoming management book, Who Moved My Countless?
That’s a pretty cheesy title.
That comment stands alone.
I very much like how you’re pointing to the comment in your avatar.
Kill other people and take their stuff…. he is a real God!
Some men go mad with power. Others just revert to their old management techniques.
:D

Did we mention how it looks like StarGate? ‘Cause it looks like StarGate.
To HR the CEO it’s probably a start up gate.
Well ain’t you a chipper one.

probably has something to do with this- http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-33-page-24/
I really love how casual and friendly HR seems with all of this.

Everything’s fun and games till Little Tommy the Intern finds the plastic lined basement with the wood chipper.
…then it’s just fun.
He’s going Turbo!
…Was that a pun? Is god making puns now?
No need to byte his head off.
no
Just little bits & nibbles are good enough.
Hold down the fort? Is it an inflatable hover-fort that might float away?
If it is, sign me up!
I wonder if this portal behaves like a minecraft one and if you take a block out it dies.
So THIS is what Hexadecimal sounds like.
And thus Minecraft was invented.
wow no puns about waiting?
