Re: 2014/06/30 - The Agony Of The Ecstacy
We've seen that appearances in HP heaven can be altered...cosplayer's dream come true... so they could be anything or anyone...
My question is exactly what are these beings wanting to do with Fox? I mean, are they demigods, wanting to create worlds? Pete kind of said that was possible. It would be interesting if they were also mortals visiting HP heaven on a separate storyline. If that was the case then Fox could have a real girlfriend waiting for him when he gets back. (Even if she is Jessica in disguise or something...nah...Jessica couldn't have that good of an alter-ego, could she?)
But seriously, without getting sick or religious, is it possible for those in the HP heavenly realm to...*ahem*...(how to keep this PG...) have relationships? Or is it possible for Fox and his new friend(s) to request they all go back together? I don't want Fox to be crushed again when he has to leave.
Can we play a game? Fox's new girlfriend (and her bff) need names! Let's see if Rick will let us pick them! I lead with the pink one being named Angela! (Yay!) (I figure that when she reached HP heaven she donned the wings and cute, fluffy appearance to match the name)

Well, it's not like he didn't have any originally.Saturn381 wrote:Looks like Fox has already got a couple of fangirls.
*Raises hand and waves it around desperately*
I think Fox did actually get himself the new body. If you look closely at panel one, you'll see that his pectoral and abdominal muscles are slightly more defined, as compared to, say, the previous strip. Also, the alt. text kinda suggests Fox's change of appearance.Acritic2 wrote:And the funny part is it was with his ideal body. The body Fox said couldn't impress anyone in heaven.Iceheart wrote:It's nice to see Fox enjoying himself. He deserves to have a girlfriend.
EDIT: I probably misinterpreted your point here. Sorry
This is actually kind of sad, knowing that he can only find love with a fantastic body. We all love Fox for his character, and I would say he deserves someone who sees him for that, and not for something as simple as appearances. Some may say that appearances are everything, but I digress.

Need? Good question, @ArcWolf. Well, someone needs to watch over Heaven's -- ah -- guests. I would hardly say that Cerberus, for instance, was unemployed. Originally the guardian of the underworld (and Pete's de facto jailer); most recently she was given the job of Messenger. Perhaps Fox' little groupie party works in Hospitality (sorry, I live in a county where the largest employers are casinos).ArcWolf wrote:But why would devine beings need employment?Perfesser_Bear wrote:What?

Thank you so much, @Argent, for the tip on the Doctorow story I somehow missed. The basic tenet reminded me a bit of an even earlier story by Frederik Pohl, The Midas Plague. The linked article contains another link to a facsimile of the 60-year-old edition of Galaxy Magazine where the story appears in its entirety (Cory would be so proud).Argent wrote:Jobs earn you Whuffie.

Re: 2014/06/30 - The Agony Of The Ecstacy
It's like time flies in Heaven... Yeah, King, how can you define a waste the time passed in a such place? When will it happen again? Uhm, yes, it'll happen... Good appeasing idea, your left-head Cerberus. If that's not real food, I dare you to eat it all, King: let's see if it can be stored inside your small stomach. Does it taste sweet? If yes, it's all real. Fox is being the real ladykillers (and not King, as in a cover we know)! I'm glad for you, Fox, you've the same made your physic more buff, and unlike you thought, it's being worth even in Heaven. How's cute King in the last panel.
So far, all is going like a sightseeing in Heaven. I wonder when will start the serious things.

The closet thing I can think of is the Narnia books/movies. No matter how much time they spend in Narnia no time passes in the "real" world. On the flip side, 1 day in the "real" world could be hundreds of years in Narnia.CityRedFox wrote:Wonder if they don't handle the business with Pete and get Bailey as well as others back to the "mortal world" ASAP, will they end up finding themselves in the Babylon Garden, like, maybe dozens years later, and everyone else are gone?
I think there's a movie or something goes like this which is really sad in the end, but I can't remember what it is...

How about this: He has a girlfriend up in Heaven. King comes back to Earth with Fox. Then, Fox tells Sasha he had a crush on her. She says Kevin is helping her solve her problems with her abusive father. Fox goes to Kevin and tells him what he thinks about Sasha. Kevin understands. Fox asks Kevin if he can still be friends with Sasha, to which Kevin agrees. The two become friends and Fox asks if he can become a K-9 officer. That's how I want this arc to end.
