Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
Oh man, the colon tumor. Man, that was a callback.

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
Is the gritty cybertech world with talking animals Laser-Snal? (Is that a reference to something?)

Callbacks are awesome. Wasn't the last time we saw the sapient snacks, in the gladiator barracks?

Also, this is lending strength to my "the mortals can actually do something permanent to the snarl" theory.

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
All the worlds that were ever conceived of, billions of stories that were only partially told. Campaigns that ended prematurely because of player conflict, or the GM got bored. Everything from Pathfinder, DnD, Ebberon, Traveller, Shadowrun, VtM, Cthulu, and the myriad Savage Worlds to old school GURPS campaigns, and Rifts. Giant is really getting meta here, we're going way down the rabbit hole.

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
I love the movie snacks callback.
I love how the soda is using a pizza cutter as a weapon.
I love the pun used.
I love how it confirms the whole thing as canon, and places it as part of another planet.
Awesome.

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
Hahaha, that was hilarious. I love that the gods are apparently somehow putting easter eggs for themselves in their worlds, in light of Milk Dudes and the other sentient movie theatre snacks.

The callbacks are fantastic, but the thread of hope Thor dangles caught my attention. Now comes the meat of this comic nut!

So THAT's why they're all stick figures~
I wonder if Laser Snail was an actual PC in one of Rich's own home games...

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
Once in an eternity opportunity? That's going to need some explanation. It would also suggest direct action by Thor himself would be needed but I suspect that would create a war between the gods and make everything worse.

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
Thanks, Giant, this one pleased on a lot of levels. In order of what got me going "nice!" ...
1. Obviously, we were scraping the bottom of the idea barrel when we came up with "self-aware stick figure fantasy parody." (Durkon's response made me grin)
2. I remember everyone who's ever worshipped me.
Which put the oomph in the lead up
3. I'm a little jealous of your mortal limitations.
4. I wanted you to fully appreciate the scale of the problem, and the once in an eternity opportunity that your specific world has given us a chance to change things - maybe forever.
Yes! Badly considered fan theories from the #1139 comment thread, your memorial is right over there ... waaaaaaaay behind Durkon's head in the last panel.
5. And you "almost" didn't bring that up. (Giggled, I did) Awesome callback is awesome.Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2018-09-12 at 12:37 PM.

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
I’m guessing this means the Gods are not ‘really’ stick figures, and shape change based on the theme of each world.

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
Honestly, it does explain alot about the lackadaisical attitude of the gods towards the world, it's literally one-in-a-billion. Yet Gods like Thor still "remember" every mortal they have lost. Maybe that differentiates the good gods and the bad.
When people told you that you were dumb, they were being nice.

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
I'm thinking more and more that they may figure out a Gordon Knot-style solution. It's threads of reality, after all. All they need to do it figure out a way to break reality. Which V constantly spoke about arcane magic doing. And such he would now be hesitant to unleash all-out like it may require.

Re: OOTS #1140 - The Discussion Thread
Wow, talk about some really old callbacks. On a whim, I was just looking at the early strips, so this is like it just happened.
