MythTickle by Justin Thompson for October 20, 2010

She literally picked him up.

Beware, the Norse pick-up line! Inshadowz, are you there?

Norse picking in public is rude.

Complete with hairy pits! Wonder what Dudley’s flag would have said about that?! :)

Justin, wasn’t this about the same time Boody discovered espresso?

My, she’s been working out.

Talk about genetic drift… how did women like this become the Swedish Bikini Team (well, its Norse equivalent) again?

It’s either Elder Futhark or Anglo-Saxon Futhark.

The first (resembling a pointy P) is the “w” sound and is pronounced as either “wunjo” or “wyn” and means “Joy.”

The second (the bowtie) is the “d” sound and is either “dagaz” or “daeg” and means “day.”

So…perhaps she’s singing “Oh, Happy Day?” O.o

Coyoty, you made me laugh out loud, thanks. :)

A norse is a norse, of course, of course…

Just about, I think!

Pifflepuss: Nah, this strip was about a year before that, maybe longer. This was probably in my first month of doing this. I hand-lettered the strip then, and my handwriting was so embarrassingly bad that I re-wrote the whole thing with the font I now currently use. I mean, what good is a comic strip if you can’t even read the dang thing?

And no, the runes on her belt don’t mean anything, they were just the first runes I thought of so you don’t need to waste your time on that.

We can make stuff up, can’t we? We normally do.

HAHAHA!
