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.

Well, he COULD use something for that little incontinence problem.

Aristophanes: rain=Zeus pissing through a sieve. But I do like a god that laughs at his own puns!

So do Zeus and Thor share thunderbolts?

Maybe all the thunder gods get together for a drink.

Technically, it was Aristophanes’ character Strepsiades who said he had thought that’s what rain was, after Socrates told him rain came from clouds bumping together. But I agree wholeheartedly with your approval of Zeus laughing at his pun. Actually, the idea of a god laughing at anything is appealing.

So, oxybutinin…and how about a date with a hot nymph? That’s something Zeus never can get enough of.

Yes. It was the first electric cooperative.

Aristophanes also said thunder was Zeus farting. Well, duh.

Ain’t that the truth? LOL!! He sure was a horn-dog in those myths.
What confuses me, though… “Doctor” Zeus??

As always, I love Justin’s artistry as much as the gags.
Rain-soaked Karma is beautilfully done – her expression (breaking the fourth wall) is priceless, and her drenched hair is perfect.

The gods tended to be not just human but super human in their actions. Just imagine a human now give them super powers and what do you get? Lots of trouble.

On the HUB they started showing 1990’s Hercules with Kevin Sorbo. Fun to watch and see how they modified the myths to fit the stories. Love to watch them again. That and see the spectacular settings in New Zealand.
