Welcome to the MythTickle plane of 'reality', where eclectically charming deities and legendary creatures try to get along and hopefully bring some comfort to the world, whatever you may believe in. There's good ol' Boody the dragon, the ultimate upbeat innocent and Sir Dudley, the cynical Scots knight who disdains him for being his best friend. There's Dziva, African creatrix and goddess of life; Anansi, the trickster spider god; Thor, the surly son of Asgard; and of course Karma quick to rage, quick to joy, and obsessed with balance. Displaced in time and place, they and many others learn from Ms. Nature, patient teacher of this unruly horde. Loki, take your seat. Shiva, go stand outside. Anubis, don't throw the erasers, and everyone mind the holy bees! You never know who you'll meet in Mythtickle.

IIRC, this was one of the early glimpses of the Cartonist’s workroom shelves?

Always nice to see Cheech Wizard put in an appearance.

You tell them, El Jefe!
(Uhh, didn’t you write, draw, create that conflict? Are you using these poor characters for nefarious purposes?)

After awhile the characters just sort of write themselves anyway and the author only has so much control over what they do…
King Arthur must have had Knights of the Blind Table searching for the Grail all those years…

I am a bit of a newbie here. I have been reading your strip for about two months now, yes I did go to the beginning of the episode as you suggested.
Over all I like your strip though I am still learning the characters and haven’t quite figured them all out yet. Especially the two in today’s strip. Grail (the elusive holy grail?) and Dudley. What exactly is Dudley anyway? He kind of looks like a can with a flag in his head, which broadcasts his emotions.
As a child of the sixties and young adult of the mid seventies (dating myself here) your strip has always given me a deja vu of the Cheech Wizard of the old underground comics. I have suspected that you were inspired yt the works of the late Vaughn Bode. Seeing the little guy up on the shelf confirms my suspicions.
I was always intrigued by that comic also, though I confess I didn’t always understand that work either.
Please, don’t misinterpret me. I may not get all the characters yet, but I have gotten the jokes and stories. And I have enjoyed them. In fact today’s was dirt (pun intended) obvious. They actually reminded me of my own grandkids playing outside.

Dudley kicked the grail’s can? Does anyone else have a problem with that?

Dudley is a grumpy, armless Scottish knight. The grail is The Grail, come to this universe because it was tired of being pursued at home.

Speaking of undergrounds, Justin and I had freak brothers comic books when we were kids. Wish I knew were they were now, I’d love to dig them out and read em again.
