"No fruit for you!"

keep sounding sooo bad...

I don't think I can handle this many evil plot twists

i guess the fourth wall was one of the things that got demolished in the explosion.

Well, that's kind of Homer's (and Heidi's) thing. Perhaps they are aware that this is all just a fan comic?
Come to think of it, there have been a few moments that somewhat break the fourth wall in the Housepets! series (off the top of my head, http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/201 ... and-atlas/ http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/201 ... s-tragedy/ ).

Coming to a produce isle near you.

a world that will somehow not have the problems of inadequate food production and insane overpopulation that are inevitable in the scenario i just suggested but i'm totally going to gloss over that!

Well if everyone ate the fruit to supposedly become a god, they would no longer need to eat ever again and can bend physics and make the planet bigger via magic(k).
...Then again, we saw the celestials eat/drink at the diner, so perhaps they do go hungry (or is it a style thing to sort of blend-in with the mortals)?

Quite a bit of symbolism in the snake handing her the fruit.

L: "...Uh, S? I think you should let me hand it to her, so we don't get sued for plagiarism."

Alright Goliath, show them what they win!

Perfection is at stake, but "light" doesn't always mean "good."

Ok, so she has one last wish, regardless of the fruit, right?
"I wish that every single plan of yours, regardless of your intentions, fails every single time!"

Thanks for waiting. Here's your reward. *slinks away quietly.

"If I pound her into the ground, it technically wouldn't be animal abuse. It would just be plain old assault, right?"

And she was never seen again.

I thank those who have followed this multi-year journey to seemingly nowhere. Rest assured that the end is drawing near. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Well, useless-tail psychic powers.

Hehe, I got it. It makes one wonder how useful psychic powers would be if all you got were glimpses of the things that will be regardless of what you do.
In case it wasn't made clear (I confess I'm not great at writing) or for those who just started reading this fanfic, Homer's future- as well as their past prior to meeting the demigods- cannot be foreseen. Not to give anything away, but the reasons go beyond the lantern they were carrying and will come to light soon (maybe?).

Well, this is the last of what I got for now.

Huh.

Good thinking?

......and I finally got caught up with this strip just in time for a cosmos rendering explosion!! Gosh, dryideabat, if you've had half the fun doing this strip that I've had reading it (along with Hamm's beers of course), you're really havin' a blast. Always eager to see what results from a spectacular plunge when a body hurtles towards a far below relief map. Thanks for your art, humor, and story-telling gifts. Regards.

Thanks for the kind compliments NHWestoN . This odyssey into weirdness has been as much fun for me as having a beer made of ham (Just joking, I know better... It's a beer made by Jon Hamm, right? ).

Actually, Hamm's is a sort of ethnic beer brand from the American midwest. I picked up a taste for it while living in Madison, Wisconsin, the state capital and may still be a good comic town. Real hard to find now as opposed to some of our more mass produced brews .... and I'm slamming this commentary into reverse right now before I blunder into a "battle of the brands."

Looking forward to more of your creative ingenuities, yer honor. Regards.

But they're in space- how can they breathe much less hear anything? My explanation/excuse is that there's still residual artificial atmosphere that was bound to the structure by intense magic(k). Also, it's a cartoon- what do you want?

Whether you enjoy this or not, have a Merry Openermas everybody.

Going off on a tangent here, but here are some other possible versions of Heidi. New shoes made out of wood are included with the Disney version.

Another long-awaited update. Yay!

Some people are so ungrateful, aren't they?

I'll hopefully get to coloring this one someday. I figured that I should share it now while I can.

Editor's can be so dense....

Huh. This update would be all sorts of more interesting if I had read the entire thing till now.

It’s time to WAKE UP.

I done colored it.

I at least recovered my old scanner. The problem is that the colors and focus are a bit off. Oh well, I guess beggars can't be choosers.

Still a better ending than Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Still making the best with my scanner.

Well, I'm almost done with this series.
I had an idea for an interim demigod that might be in the next strip. He's a green jackalope named Jach.

Weird twist on good news.

Also, neat design!

Can you guess the characters other than Zach that inspired my design for Jacques? Hint: they were created by Rick Griffin.
As for Belle... Hey, someone needs to be up there to represent for the ungulates.

Paris and Logan, in reference to Jacques.

Yes, those are the two characters I basically fused together to create Jacques the Jackalope's design.

Haven't had a horse in either world for a long while. This has been a wild ride....
