Good one, Justin! XD

Hey! Renege! That condition was NOT in the original contract.

She’s acting like an insurance company.

Gotta wonder about those dead-zones! –As usual, Sir Dudley’s flags tell much of the story (though the one in panel 2 would seem to have been censored by 1/3).

She sure kicks up a lot of dust, doesn’t she?

Dudley’s showing 4 bars, so they are getting good reception, as long as Hermod doesn’t get his hand over the antenna.

If I remember my Norse mythology, Baldur was the victim of one of Loki’s nastier practical jokes. And Loki was not particularly apologetic for what he had done.

This does not bode well.

If I remember my Norse mythology, Loki never was particularly apologetic about anything. So in any situation he was in, it didn’t bode well that he was in it.

Great pun, Justin!

Hey, is that one of those new diePhones? What service do you use? Vik-rizon? Odinfone?

Hah!.. DEAD ZONES

Sisyphos, I don’t think that Sir Dudley’s flag was censored. Many people forget about other, still offensive to certain members of my family, variations on the “What the…” starter. I’m presuming the word/name “Hel” is what’s in use here.

You are exactly RIGHT, sydtaki. If I had a prize, you’d win it.

If I remembered my Norse mythology, I could win a prize too. If there was one.

All these puns and I’m not the one writing them!

I gotta get on earlier. So many lines. All of ‘em taken. sigh

I remember one re-write of the Balder story that involved a dialogue between Huginn and Muninn (Thought and Memory), where Huginn is mad at Muninn for blurting out the story, which was Huginn’s job. He then shows how Memory got it wrong: Loki did weep. It was someone else who did not weep. Who? Turns out there was a spurned love-interest.

It ends with joy in Aesgard: Ragnarok is not inevitable!

Derned if I can remember where I read it, or when, or can find it with a web-search…

Well, they do have Nokia …
