I'm still lost. What does Hel not having to do anything last world has to do with the bet?

This isn't reddit, easiest way to format is to type the text you want hyperlinked, highlight it, and hit the link button in the toolbar and input the link. Just a helpful FYI for ya.
Loki wanted Hel to be more active, is the implication I'm getting. In the last world, she was just passively getting her dues, but wasn't striving for anything, vs next world (assuming she wins) she's significantly more powerful and would have to be more involved to keep her power.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art.

Re: Re-reading, I noticed some neat foreshadowing...
I think what they’re trying to say is that last world Hel just sort of sat around letting people praise her and Loki wants her to let her real evil side out and do things.

Re: Re-reading, I noticed some neat foreshadowing...
Effectively, Loki was concerned/annoyed that his daughter was lazing around her plane achieving nothing because she was comfortably set up (in stickworld-1), and so that inspired him to setup the bet with her (in stickworld) to push her into achieving more on the world after that (stickworld+1).
Another quote from 1177: "Who knew she had that much hustle?"
It adds to Hel and Loki's character to the point where it would be interesting to see them in stickworld-1.To the guy responsible for Belkar, Haley and Vaarsuvius. Thank you for providing over 800 comedy gems.

Ever wondered how many games are mentioned in the comic? I have listed them all in a geeklist: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/2...es-order-stick

Re: Re-reading, I noticed some neat foreshadowing...
It's called Ravenloft. Also, here's a list of actual foreshadowing:
The dragon mentions its mother and V explicitly mentions that the Startmetal was out there by an older dragon.
Not just early foreshadowing of V's ruthless streak, but also REALLY early foreshadowing of the circumstances of Nale's eventual death.
The IFFC appearing as a one-panel gag.
The CPPD Chief says the mayor will put his head on a pike for this, shortly before Nale literally does so.
Haircut foreshadowing.
What MITD says in the first panel.
No one specific instance, but "Durkon" does indeed slip up on the accent a few times before it's revealed to the reader.
Malack foreshadowing: His children, "unusual diet" resulting from "health issues", mention of making more children, using some cleverly coded language...
Tarquin has pun-dueled before, against Julio, presumably.
Minor one, but Xykon actually remembers who Roy is for once.Last edited by woweedd; 2020-07-03 at 08:53 PM.
