You have Ares in the Olympus region twice: once against Aphrodite and once against Hephaestus. Couldn’t you stick Aurora against Aphrodite in the first round? Or Iris?
noonstar: The doubled Ares was a mistake, but he’s enough of a warrior that he can deal with two seeds. Hestia and Selene were just judgment calls on my part. (Actually I’m surprised I’d forgotten Hestia.)
I filed a corrected version of the strip. Apparently I DID catch the error on the entry form PDF, but not on the strip. The duplicated Ares is gone and Hestia is back.
Even as I type, my 11-year-old son is sitting at the kitchen table, muttering to himself if Odin could take out Neptune, and asking me who Heinlein is. Good job, guys!
noonstar: Hestia is fighting Aphrodite. For some reason the updated strip didn’t take. The system also defaulted back to an earlier version of yesterday’s strip, before I corrected the two typos.
The “Olympus” and “Rome” rosters are redundant; they are mostly the same gods with different names (Zeus = Jupiter; Mars = Ares)etc.
how about an Egyptian team? Or Aztec?
My personal choice would be a Judeo - Christian roster ( Jesus, Lucifer, Samson, David…) but you’d be dropped from too many papers for that!
Best part about Sheldon Cooper, most people who have seen the show think he’s made up! Sorry, as a friend of a show writer, Sheldon is all real. I know the people Sheldon, Penny and Leonard are modeled after, and Sheldon is the closest to the real thing.

Hestia’s not there in the Olympus team either. Or Hecate. Or Selene (since you have Helios). I’m just sayin’.

Just wonderful! Apollo versus Colbert, an even match of egos.

Pab,
So is Hestia fighting Aprhodite or Hephaestus in the first round? It’s not showing here.
