It’s always the narrators who suffer in the end. All work and no love

Ermmm… I think I’m lost on who exactly the speakers are this comic. Of course it could also be the fact I just woke up and this is my first stop along my web route.

I get that one is Hod… after all it is his comic. But who is the other speaker and who is the knocker? At first I thought it may have been Baldur sneaking in – after all, Hod mentions a “pretty voice” – and trying to bu funny, but it didn’t read like stuff Baldur would say. I then tried to figure out which of the others it might be, realized none of Hod’s siblings would ever call Hod all those nice things in the very first panel. Well ok, maybe Loki… but only if it was beneficial to him, and this other speaker is losing! Definitely not Loki. So who is the second speaker… and who is the knocker? If the speaker is losing to Hod, they must both be there in the same room so it can’t be Hod knocking… ORO????

I think I better go find some coffee mead and wake up.

Happy is I on vacation that Hod is still at it. This comic made chuckle (quietly because the small fry is asleep and we are to surprise him in the morning that Auntie is here).

Hod is also very observant…and realises that aspects of Norse Mythology just doesn’t make sense (at least to us in modern times).

And a chariot drawn by cats…yes, Freya’s chariot. Will the illustrious twins Frey and Freya show up at any point? Frey especially is a personal favourite (along with Baldur – although Hod, as I’ve said before, is now becoming top fav because of this strip).

But back to a cat drawn chariot…having four of the little critters myself (no, I am NOT a crazy cat lady, honest), I know from personal experience they don’t take direction very well. I’m wondering how Feya managed to get them to cooperate enough to draw her chariot. Wouldn’t it be the equivalent to trying to herd cats? And of course, they never come when called.

Anyway, Hod as always is awesome.
