Snarl me once, shame on you. Snarl me billions, trillions, possibly an uncountably large number of times, well, uh, shame on me I guess.

[MrWiggles]

They look like butt plugs.

[Criptfeind]

They can only cage the Snarl because it's mentally incapable of recognizing the fact that it's being trapped and because they have all these threads lying around on the Material Plane. Even then, they can only do that since they're safe from the Snarl on the Outer Planes. The Dark One's plan would let the Snarl loose on the Outer Planes, which would remove those advantages.

Still, with this number of previous worlds it's hard to imagine this situation hasn't come up before, not only once but many many times. Which would imply it's not really that big of a deal and the gods can handle it if it happens.

[Lord Shonus]

There's a few possibilities floating around over on GiTP, and the one I find most plausible is that this world is in a unique situation. Either this is the first world where mortals ascended to godhood (since all but a few of the gods fit neatly into their inspirationary pantheons, and those exceptions are explicitly called out , it is likely that all of them came from this world), or this is the first world where mortals gained high enough levels to make executing The Plan or building the Gates to be possible.


Keep in mind that we don't know how long most of these worlds lasted, only that World 2 lasted for 4 years and the current world is well into the second millennium. We have no way to know if the lifespan of the worlds was a steady improvement as the gods got better, or if they all lasted a really short time until the most recent one.

Theres a layering error in panel 7 too though.

Not sure what you mean by panel 7 there, however in the one I count as panel 6, Thor is missing his aura.

[crazyabe]

In panel six Thor is lacking his aura
In panel seven Thor's arm is above his glove's cuff.

[Sensei]

You're all just not picking up on the subtle symbolism given by Thor's aura being suppressed. You're be kicking yourselves for not getting it when Rich spells it out later. Oh yeah, the arm is probably symbolism too.



His arm not connecting with his hand has got to do with how seeing the monument makes him feel beside himself, you see. His godly body can express this emotion by being beside his hand.

[Rolan7]

He doesn't really have a physical body, of course.  He only simplified into a form mortals perceive as relatively normal.

Naturally Thor will have lighting/crack glitches.

[Sensei]

Looking back, I actually missed the clever touch that "godly" Thor has simple shading and "for mortals" Thor has an unshaded flat art style like everything else, haha.

[Imic]

Aaaand now we know why the gods can’t tell mortals about the Snarl.
Because they might be the next world to be destroyed.
In endless succession.

There's also the layering error where Thor's mouth appears to be on the outside of his beard

Statistically it's not might bebut will be.

It's not surprising they keep their mouths shut about it.

That said, if there were rifts that formed, does that mean the Snarl was already part-way through breaking down it's prison?

[Max™]

My highschool girlfriend - literally 2001, Freshman, and showed me secrets in Descent 1 deathmatch -
Er yeah she was super into Pern, and a MUSH for Pern.  When she wasn't outdoing me in Act Of War MUD.  Or making cute levels in my own MUD, heh.  Jeez, hard to believe that was less than two years...

As for Gor, I couldn't get into it because my "boyfriend" recommended it for bad reasons, a few years ago.  Sure seemed interesting, though.  Still got it.  But it's 50 shades tier.  If I want camp fantasy I'll go Fafhrd and The Grey Mouser, or Thieves World short stories.
_{right, back to sleep... nngh...}

Yeah, it's pretty goddamn cheesy stuff, I could tell this at like... 7 or 8 maybe?

Still got a soft (or, err.. hard) spot for chokers, the blowjob black belt as they say.

Pern inspired a weird sort of eye-rolling revulsion I only later identified as my being the anti-furry.

[Sensei]

I've only heard of Gor, but I believe it started off as a fantasy book series with a little bit of weird sex stuff on the side, and ended up being 90% weird sex stuff where the other 10% is diatribes from the author about how women should be subservient to men.

I don't think you're missing much.
