I personally just can't wait to see Gog Agog's killer clowns in action. They seem like they'll be very entertaining.

They'll be entertaining if they're even half as fun as Mammon's priest-accountants. Those chainsaws on poles are just great.

One thing I'm still unclear on is what was Mottom's plan regarding Allison. Be a power-behind-the-throne kinda type? She asked Allison to take over her whole kingdom, but she's still afraid to die, so was her plan for Allison to do all the hard work of governing while she spends the rest of eternity munching on fruits in her (now Allison's) backyard?

I remember reading a story about a man who tried to kill himself by jumping off the golden gate bridge. As he was falling he realized, "everything in my life that's gone wrong is fixable, except this". Mottom is that man, and the flaming ruins of her husband's tree is her golden gate bridge.

In a similar vein:

quote:

It was said in the old days that every year Thor made a circle around Middle-earth, beating back the enemies of order. Thor got older every year, and the circle occupied by gods and men grew smaller. The wisdom god, Woden, went out to the king of the trolls, got him in an armlock, and demanded to know of him how order might triumph over chaos.

"Give me your left eye," said the king of the trolls, "and I'll tell you."

Without hesitation, Woden gave up his left eye. "Now tell me."

The troll said, "The secret is, Watch with both eyes!"

It's neat how each demiurge is a completely distinct flavor of out of their god-damned mind. They are all seperate types of Greek tragic heroes whose dooms are being telegraphed by their individual flaws.

Holicide. Holos meaning whole, complete, total, universal; as seen in words like "holistic" or "catholic".
Cosmicide. Murder the universe.

it's not enough to destroy all life. you're quitting before the job is done.

Only reason I didn't mention him is that he isn't at the table. He is the "enemy" of the fragile and dysfunctional alliance.

For very high precision when you need two things to have exactly the same mass, yes. It's more precise than consumer electronic scales that display a rounded number, and cheaper than laboratory equipment.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Those scales are also still widely used around the world, because they're extremely robust and also simple to make. They have the advantage on spring scales in that they don't wear out the same way and they're easily made for high loads.

They're also a fixture of preschool - elementary classrooms around the world because they're very intuitive!

I'm really looking forward to seeing more Ki Rata over time. The 3 panels of Dave using it to explode the table are probably some of the best action panels in the comic (edit: hell, some of the best I've seen in anything period, really). It portrays "absolute loving threat" really well.
