TLA Anno 7
FB: The Winter Elves have supplanted the breathalyzer test with a lifealyzer test. You still have to stand on one foot and try to make a “4” shape with your legs, though.
I have to admit, Frigg and Best getting smashed in a bar before the maybe end of the world does seem like it would’ve been a pretty fun scene. I think there are ways around the “We’re too omniscient to let you have this booze” roadblock. But it would’ve been, shall we say, tonally dissonant from this heartwarming Axemas story, even more so than the political talk we had to squeeze in here to set up Chapter 46.
My reaction to the last panel here was “Good God, look at these two lovable dorks.” I forgot that on the next page, Frigg reacts pretty much the same way!
Best makes a good point, but mostly just points out why you should not look too closely at time travel or prophecy stories.
Yep.
Or try to explain your time travel or prophecy stories. Better to leave things vague because any explanation is likely to lead to more contradictions.
…which reminds me I still need to watch Primer. Wonder if that would make me add a “unless you know exactly what you’re doing” clause to the above statement.
Reminds me of the “Manly guys doing manly things” comic, in which the main character has to distract his girlfriend just before they time travel, because the time traveling literally breaks, if people think too much about it.
The winter elves are nigh omniscient. They know all the *other* times Frigg or Best got drunk, and can extrapolate.
I’m so happy for Weo right now. He finally gets to be enthusiastic about something, and be in the company of someone else who shares that enthusiasm!
I sure hope that his life is not just going downhill from here.
