You can’t really say that Nike appropriated a Greek goddess any more than Mercury appropriated a Roman god or Washington appropriated a president. Naming things after other things is perfectly value and I can’t just sit silently while it’s maligned.
Before anyone asks, she uses it eight times. I make it to be six times as an adjective, once as a verb, and once as an adverb, but I could be fucking wrong about that.
See Frigg is actually totally illiterate and was just making up the question while looking at a page of writing she had no way of understanding. She’s pissed because she realized the joke was supposed to be on HER (what a cruel and embarrassing set-up!) so she’s lashing out with anger that seems out of place in response to a question that amounts to praising how awesome she is
BUT then you’d be being the you FRIGG wanted you to be, not the you YOU wanted you to be which you thought was the you Frigg wanted you to be until she told you to be the one you wanted to be instead. So clearly the moral is really: don’t write letters to illiterate people asking their advice, they won’t be able to read it. A timeless lesson we would all do well to remember
Best thing.
This was a beautiful comic.
Are we sure she’s not a berserker? That rage came outta left field.
If you think that came out of left field, then you don’t know Frig very well.
Except in the past, she’s shown more anger over NOT being considered a BAMF, than being considered one.
She’s just fed up with people trying to be like her, after the fiasco with Rachel’s sisters.
Okay. I guess I should start being a badass.
N’aw, too much work.
Appropriate gravatar is appropriate.
Or at least it is, until the next chapter ushers in another scramble of the random avatars.

Motivational poster? Yes please!
I’m gonna make one to hang in my office. It’ll have a picture of Chuck Norris roundhouse kicking Ghandi in the face, with the text at the bottom:
BEING A BADASS
Why would you be anything else? You wanna do that? Just fuckin’ do it.
So you’ll b bing inspired by how uch of a BAMF Ghandi was?
+1 for the poster or at least a nice vector version of this page, so we can make our own in every f****** scale imaginable.
With the nike logo, just fuckin do it
With Frigg, you don’t need the Nike logo.
Besides, sneakers are for chumps. You need some good greaves and studded leather boots.
Nike is looking into signing Frigg on as their new spokesperson.
Part of me despises them for not only appropriating a Greek God, but also pretty much the only way to tell someone to “Up and ‘at Em”.
*Goddess
You can’t really say that Nike appropriated a Greek goddess any more than Mercury appropriated a Roman god or Washington appropriated a president. Naming things after other things is perfectly value and I can’t just sit silently while it’s maligned.
But, then, you would say that, wouldn’t you… Borg?
“We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.”
I guess that means I should start blasting fire out of my hands…
“My way? So you mean I should listen to late-period Frank Sinatra for inspiration?”
“…Fuck it, I’m done.”
Sinatra… the original gangsta musician.
Before anyone asks, she uses it eight times. I make it to be six times as an adjective, once as a verb, and once as an adverb, but I could be fucking wrong about that.
Alright, I fuckin’ will. Best fuckin’ pep talk ever.
Cue inspirational music and badass training montage.
Thanks a lot…Now I got the theme music from the Rocky movie running in my head…
“Illustrated by John & Jason Waltrip”? We’re not that easily deceived, Phil.
Huh? What’s wrong about that?
You’re right, I think it was just Jason, actually. But I neglected to change the boilerplate, there.
We *did* ask them to do these differently from the main strip stylistically…
Still makes sense though. Truths like that are personal- only you can figure them out.
Agreed: the most badass person is someone who didn’t try and be someone else
Frigg, your source of ass kicking and surprising fonts of wisdom.
See Frigg is actually totally illiterate and was just making up the question while looking at a page of writing she had no way of understanding.

I still think it’s a case of Frigg wanting us to be the us that believes in us, not the us that Frigg believes in.
BUT then you’d be being the you FRIGG wanted you to be, not the you YOU wanted you to be which you thought was the you Frigg wanted you to be until she told you to be the one you wanted to be instead.

I assumed she just bullied some one on the team to tell her what it said before appearing in the comic to look strong.
