[0495] Office Prank
└ posted on Monday, 1 July 2013, by Novil
Our yearly Sandra and Woo fanart contest has started and will run until 22 July 2013! The total prize money for the five winners is $400 this year!
- Lily: Did you receive my prayer that Sandra may give birth to at least 20 children?
- Seeoahtlahmakaskay: Yes, but I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.
- Seeoahtlahmakaskay: The human god no longer talks to me. That old geezer just can’t take a joke!
- Door plate: Thomas J. God
- Thomas J. God: WHERE’S THAT PESKY RACCOON!?!
- Lily: What a pity! I’m sure Sandra would have been thrilled.
Well, no more balloons for him then.
No lily. No.
Thomas Jay-hovah God can count himself lucky that Seeoahtlahmakaskay confined Herself to human pranks instead of, say, taking a divine dump on His office chair or stealing the communion wafers from His larder. Could God manifest so many balloons in his office that even He would have difficulty removing them?
Seeoahtlahmakaskay: Maybe not… but I must have done! ^u^
Man, he looks SOOOO different from Mr G….wonder if they are in charge of different offices….

Now i wonder what THIS universe’s Mrs G looks like……..scary!

I really love the idea of mr Thomas J God going to work every morning, with his suit and his suitcase, in his little cubicle…
Even at deity level, racoons seem to have the better end of the stick.
I don’t think “thrilled” would be the right word here….. Buts its okay, Lily, its the thought the counts.
Best part of this is that Seeoahtlahmakaskay got that pose in that last panel that’s like “I’m sure she’ll be flattered…” but is secretly saying to herself “You don’t know how bad humans have it, don’t you?”
Cloud is saved from bankruptcy in the future =)
Even the all-seeing eye is mad!
One child would be enough!
Sandra just unknowingly dodged a bullet
Lily: What a pity! I’m sure Sandra would have been thrilled.
Or permanently hospitalized.
Now I want See-Kay to be a regular character! 🙂
Please Novil, keep her around!
What a ‘pity’, that would have been an… interesting direction for the comic to go.
You know, that is NOT how I picture Him. :/
I often imagined god as a guy who draws comic books who lived in an apartment complex with the devil as neighbour on the next floor down
I laughed SOOOOOO hard at Raccoon-Goddess and Lily in the last panel.
The goddess obviously understands 20 children is not exactly as much a blessing to humans as it is apparently to raccoons.
I imagine she decided to NOT try to appraise Lily of the difference.
I’ve been wondering about two animals that have not turned up yet. I suspect this forest just ain’t big enough for bears (though that can be argued), but Cougars/Pumas/Mountain lions would get along just fine in an area where wolves seem to travel freely and lynxes/bobcats are ‘common’.
So That’s where thos 99 balloons ended up. Fitting.
Thomas Jefferson/Zachary Comstock is God? FOOLS!! Only Morgan Freeman should be allowed to take the personification role!!!
5 more comics till 500!!!!
“Thomas J. God”? O_o I don’t think I get the reference.
I am also somewhat surprised by the lack of outrage for this strip. For very different reasons, perhaps, but this easily fits into the list of the most provocative updates yet.

Now that’s a new interpretation for a multiverse concept – an office with gods, each working on his own universe project…
@ pip25:
After the last set of outrage strips, the easily offended decided to go home. Besides, this would only piss off the Bible-thumpers, anyway.
What`s so bad about a bunch of baloons in the office? o.O
Anyway, I do think See-Kay (thanks for the idea, guy-whose-nick-i-did-not-memorize) knows that Sandra would not have been thrilled. This story about Thomas J. God might be a lie to avoid explaining to Lily why having 20 children is not always a good idea.
However, now I start wondering: why doesn`t See-Kay just explain it? Does she think Lily would not believe her? Does she think Lily is too stupid to understand? Does she think Lily would be upset? Is she just too lazy for that?

Eh, I’m a fan of the Happle Tea god myself. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that idea made it into a webcomic at some point.
no one messes with Thomas J. God!
I just want it to be known that my last name is “Lee,” not to be confused with “God.” Thank you. 🙂
Thomas J. God = J.K. Simmons
@ Trimutius:
Or extreme exhaustion. Altogether that’s a fair amount of exertion for Cloud to….put out?
Sandra would still have it worse off though by a clear mile.
Lesse now, twenty crumb snatchers would be six sets of quads or seven sets of triplets or ten sets of twins … The mind boggles. Poor Sandra would need a chrome steel uterus and the patience of Job to handle all those rug rats. Yep, she dodged the bullet for sure.
@ XMinusOne: Arghh … I meant five sets of quads … * Enrolls in Remedial Math course *
Sandra didn’t dodge —A— bullet (note emphasis). She dodged an entire volley.
Or maybe we should say multiple volleys since it obviously would take more than one or two (or three) litters… and I do mean litters… with each litter being a volley in and of itself.
I have to wonder, after the first litter (or maybe the second), who would be convincing whom?
At least Sandra (and Woo) knows about Lily’s prayer.
I wonder where Woo is. Does he hear this conversation? Imagine his reaction or his next conversation with Sandra…
Woo: By the way, Lily’s prayer was heard by our goddess.
Sandra: Which prayer?
Woo: The one about you giving birth to 20 children. Our goddess is considering it since you didn’t let me bring cheesecake to her.
Thomas J…. Light?
Is Raccoon God the opposite of Raccoon Dog?
@ Marscaleb:
Glad I’m not the only one to catch that reference…
….And now I’m seeing Sandra dressed up as Mega Man.
Not sure I understand what the joke was, unless the All Seeing Eye couldn’t see past the balloons and that’s why it suddenly looks determined or confused or whatever and Thomas is freaking out. I’m wondering why his last name is God though, and why you didn’t call him Jesus. XD

To clarify, I can understand that it’s because he’s a god, but I’m wondering why his last name is God if technically he’s not the only god nor are all the gods human. Unless he’s related to the Raccoon goddess, I doubt it would make any sense otherwise. XD
@ illeatyourself:
Considering not all humans pray to the Christian God, having it named Jesus sounds kind of ignorant. They are just saying it’s a funny to think that a mischievous Raccoon god might fill up an entire room with balloons. They didn’t offend anyone by singling out a certain religion with “God” Anyways which I agree with.
@ Llufetsat:
I’m seeing Cloud dressed as MegaMan and Sandra dressed as Roll.
@ Virtual Knight:
Well, I’m not sure which one would considered to have a super-power (if either-or both) if Sandra were to give birth to 20 children.
A wide range of ‘super’ powers comes to mind and not all are exactly desirable (like super- fertile).
I dare say neither would be considered to be ‘super smart’.
@ Gunmage:
YOU.
ARE A GENIUS.
I’m really enjoying this arc and am still trying to catch. I’m just a little curious on what arc created an uproar though. As a “Bible thumper” I’m not offended by this in the slightest. For one, it’s a fictional world with its own physics and religious guidelines (talking raccoons for crying out loud). Two: the writer(s) are, for all intents and purposes, the god of their story. Any believer that gets offended by this should not be reading a comic in the first place.
P.S. If the writer/artist of my favorite comics did something to offend me, I simply say “ok, well that happened,” and wait for the next arc to start. Saying you’re going to stop reading a good comic because of one bad joke only shows how shallow you are.
@ pip25:
Not really. If you’re talking about religion, it’s probably just that religious people aren’t always as uptight as people think. (:
@ Running Dreams:
I’m the traditional definition of a Bible thumper and this doesn’t offend me. o:
i thought gods first name would be william
He has the allseeing eye above his brow, but can’t find that pesky squirrel… Nice touch!
Raccoon. Sorry…
She’s hot! I want to have sex with Seeoahtlahmakaskay. Is there something wrong with me?
God’s first name is Thomas? I always thought it was Art, as in “Our Father, who Art in Heaven.”
