    A true old god would have given him new legs and then sacrificed them, Araknatu Schmucknaktu.

    I mean judging by the cast, he could have used his upper body strength to get in the regular cloud death swing. But I guess it’s cool Aranaktu is thoughtful enough to include accessibility.

    Ah, nice to see this Perry Bible Fellowship classic. Always a favorite.

      What are they up to now?

      I was always bummed they didn’t become a bigger thing, like a book or series.

        I’m honestly not sure. Nick didn’t publish anything for like 10 years but then some more comics tickled out for a while and stopped again. Maybe there’s an interview somewhere.

          I get it. I was the same way with YouTube videos until I decided I just didn’t want to do them anymore. I would do them in spurts of creativity. (Get your mind out of the gutter!)

    Wouldn’t the second one seeing the first one released over the volcano simply jump off into the ocean?

      A cloud descenda out of the sky and offers a rainbow swing to sit on and fly away. The only way a sane person would ever ride on that, unprompted and unprepared to see such a thing, is if there was a charm or mesmerizing effect happening. These folks stood no chance. The clouds showed up and Aranaktu welcomed them all.

        The other way would be if someone hadn’t had all hope and wonder removed from them

          That’s why old groucy cynics rarely get dropped into Volcanos. Remember kids being a Sourpuss saves your life.

      Aranaktu looks like he’s a least a kilometer tall. Those children were doomed the moment they sat on those rainbow swings.

      It’s not clear whether the people know they’re going off to be sacrificed or not. Maybe they’re glad to do it.
