This comic had me busting a gut. When I was younger (soooo long ago) I was a lot like Hermod. I didn’t even have to be on sweets (and I was a gabber too). Put me on sugar and well, we don’t talk about that in my family anymore.

My brother on the other hand just took electronic stuff apart and put ‘em back together again. He was actually pretty good at it.

My sympathies to Hermod and Hod, though. Especially Hod.

This is relevant to my interests!
I finally got into graduate school after six rejections. Last summer I bought a bottle of homebrewed “Kvasir’s Blood Mead” and it’s been sitting in my closet ever since, waiting for this moment. My boyfriend and I are going to open it after the Týr concert tomorrow. It makes us laugh to see Kvasir’s mead mentioned in today’s very comic.

My daughter is like that without the sweets… and when she did have some… homaigosh! Anything sweet (ice cream, sour candies, gummy bears, etc) she adores. She eats a bunch of them and, of course gets about as zippy as Hermod Odd thing though; if she has chocolate, she not only gets the warp speed hyperactivity, she also gets cranky and belligerent as well. Kind of like my cat on catnip!

She is now 20, and still gets that way with sweets, though she doesn’t eat as many as she did when she was younger! She tends to avoid chocolate though… unless she’s at a family reunion LOL!
