Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
i guess the fourth wall was one of the things that got demolished in the explosion.
Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Well, that's kind of Homer's (and Heidi's) thing. Perhaps they are aware that this is all just a fan comic?Buster wrote:i guess the fourth wall was one of the things that got demolished in the explosion.
Come to think of it, there have been a few moments that somewhat break the fourth wall in the Housepets! series (off the top of my head, https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/20 ... and-atlas/ https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/20 ... s-tragedy/ ).

Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
a world that will somehow not have the problems of inadequate food production and insane overpopulation that are inevitable in the scenario i just suggested but i'm totally going to gloss over that!

Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
Well if everyone ate the fruit to supposedly become a god, they would no longer need to eat ever again and can bend physics and make the planet bigger via magic(k).
...Then again, we saw the celestials eat/drink at the diner, so perhaps they do go hungry (or is it a style thing to sort of blend-in with the mortals)?

Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
Quite a bit of symbolism in the snake handing her the fruit.
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

Ok, so she has one last wish, regardless of the fruit, right?

Hehe, I got it. It makes one wonder how useful psychic powers would be if all you got were glimpses of the things that will be regardless of what you do.D-Rock wrote:Well, useless-tail psychic powers.
In case it wasn't made clear (I confess I'm not great at writing) or for those who just started reading this fanfic, Homer's future- as well as their past prior to meeting the demigods- cannot be foreseen. Not to give anything away, but the reasons go beyond the lantern they were carrying and will come to light soon (maybe?).

Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
......and I finally got caught up with this strip just in time for a cosmos rendering explosion!! Gosh, dryideabat, if you've had half the fun doing this strip that I've had reading it (along with Hamm's beers of course), you're really havin' a blast. Always eager to see what results from a spectacular plunge when a body hurtles towards a far below relief map. Thanks for your art, humor, and story-telling gifts. Regards.

Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
Thanks for the kind compliments NHWestoN . This odyssey into weirdness has been as much fun for me as having a beer made of ham (Just joking, I know better... It's a beer made by Jon Hamm, right? ).
Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
Actually, Hamm's is a sort of ethnic beer brand from the American midwest. I picked up a taste for it while living in Madison, Wisconsin, the state capital and may still be a good comic town. Real hard to find now as opposed to some of our more mass produced brews .... and I'm slamming this commentary into reverse right now before I blunder into a "battle of the brands."
Looking forward to more of your creative ingenuities, yer honor. Regards.

Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
But they're in space- how can they breathe much less hear anything? My explanation/excuse is that there's still residual artificial atmosphere that was bound to the structure by intense magic(k). Also, it's a cartoon- what do you want?

Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
Going off on a tangent here, but here are some other possible versions of Heidi. New shoes made out of wood are included with the Disney version.

Re: The Not-So Dynamic Duo
Well, I'm almost done with this series.
I had an idea for an interim demigod that might be in the next strip. He's a green jackalope named Jach.

Can you guess the characters other than Zach that inspired my design for Jacques? Hint: they were created by Rick Griffin.

Yes, those are the two characters I basically fused together to create Jacques the Jackalope's design.
