I realize that this particular strip poses a bit of a risk to my more sensitive readers, and I by no means wish to offend anyone in any way. As "prrdh " dutifully and cleverly pointed out, Gautama may have been a more logical direction in which Karma focused her attentions, she being Buddhist (although Japanese).But the world in which my characters abide is a world where all beings respect each others religions equally and with credible reverence, here it is just as logical and valid for a Hindu to refer to Muhammad or Eleguá.That’s what makes this whole thing such a satisfying fantasy for me and why I’ve been living within this strip for ten years (anniversary coming up in around two weeks) now.It’s my retreat from all of the religious zealousness.So, sorry if anyone is offended.
