What elicits the most papal scorn?:
1. Saying “I’m more popular than Jesus.”
2. Saying “I’m more popular than God.”
3. Saying “I’m more popular than Thor and Zeus COMBINED.”
4. Live-saving and poverty-preventing contraception.
5. Raping little boys.
hint: It’s not #5.

/ November 23, 2008It happened in the Marvel Comics “Thor” series, back in the ’80’s. But there is a “Thor” movie projected for 2010.
This can only mean that Thor’s prominence and popularity will radically peak over the next two years, making statement 3 increasingly scandalous, outrageous, and yes: risky. And it’s hard to determine what the little dark Satan guinea pig would have to say about all this, provided he’s not yet been roasted and gobbled up by a certain “Thunder Lad” of most V-oracious tendencies…

/ November 23, 2008I met a “Thor” once. Well, I didn’t actually meet him, I drew him naked. I wasn’t naked- he was. Well, he wasn’t actually naked, he was wearing a Speedo. It was at the Church of God college, after all.
We have a Guinea Pig-eater in our midst?

/ November 24, 2008The only guy named “Thor” I ever met was someone I ran into at an antiwar rally in January 1991, on the first day of Operation Desert Storm. I rememembered him because it’s an incongruous name for a pacifist.
