Seeoath …mask …thingy probably recognized that angel as the one who picked the human to be in charge as human god from 1914 to 1945, who screwed up even worse than Thomas J. God (ww I, great depression, ww II).
@ Titan:
You mean Thomas J. God? He’s dead. 😀
I thought he was the valentine cherub who make people fall in love with his arrows. When she blamed him for something he did during 1914-1945, I thought it might be related to birth rates or something, maybe too much or too few. It seems there was an european crash in birth rates during and between world wars http://visual.ons.gov.uk/birthsanddeaths/. It got better after 1945. So maybe that’s what she is blaming him for?
Pretty silly arc. Honestly though I miss some of the early woo stuff, with Sandra just living a simple life and trying to raise a very unique raccoon. Those little heartwarming moments were the best.
@ sunblaze:
I Think Larisa is more deservant of something like that something just tells me that she has done some more fucked up shit Then Cupid
Plus she is a animal. That would technically mean this boy/angel is inteo Bestiality.

The Valentine’s guy is Cupid, Roman god of erotic love and desire. Early depictions often showed him as slender young man, but the image of him as a plump, winged baby boy eventually became more common. What he have in the strip is a cherub, a class of angelic beings. Early depictions of cherubim were pretty freaky; they were sometimes described as having four pairs of wings and four faces, those of a lion, an ox, a human and an eagle. Mythologies have a way of mixing and matching, especially as new belief systems replace and assimilate older beliefs. This is how the cherubim (the second most powerful class of angels in the traditional Christian hierarchy) became conflated with Cupid, and are now typically depicted as winged babies.
@ Titan:
well duh, who do you think is ‘upper management’?

Good point. I wonder if this will change things.

She already got him for the 100 years one.
HAPPY 2017!!
@ Trimutius:
Technically, Italy had a hand in one of those.
Seeoahtlahmakaskay is walking and not on her floaty cloud. I’m okay with that, and I’m not okay with that.
@ John:
Most of the things that get blamed on the devil were actually signed off on by Thomas J God, I’m sure.
@ Dullahan:
Which is why most germans don’t like austrian very much.
Happy new year Germany!
Jumping in the comments bandwagon. From a German perspective, there really wasn’t much of a WWI and WWII so much as one giant war – with the second being an economic consequence of the devastating terms demanded in the first. They were given a phone book of terms by the rest of Europe (who told the US to bugger off even though we broke the camels back on the first war (but not the second, that was totally the Soviet Union)) and the Germans weren’t even given the chance to read these terms before agreeing. Once they signed them (and could hence start reading them) they realized they’d just agreed to basically pay for the entirety of WWI — for everyone. And War is some expensive… steaming hot stuff. This lead to the economic collapse of Germany and set up a weakened democracy perfect for the Nazi party (which would have probably been a laughable concept without those terms – bad economies lead to bad governments — which is why you don’t let other governments economically collapse… like Greece, or Italy >_O). But you might think “Well that’s still fine, they lost the war they started.” But that’s not really the case either. WWI isn’t even an isolated event, let alone a consequence of “German aggression”. No. WWI is a consequence of the Franco-Prussian war and the series of conflicts around 1870ish, which saw Germany and France duking it out… and the Germans won, taking Alsace-Lorraine from France. This region was rich with raw materials and so the French were rather irate about losing it and thus, they were rather itchy to jump into a conflict with the Germans during WWI to get it back (and the German government had their own fun plans). And not that this was the end, either, I mean, we can go way back to when France broke up the Prussian Empire into Germany and Austria. But the rich white dudes in Europe just enjoy fighting it out and people below have a bad time of it as a consequence. “German Aggression” is just a nice leftover from the propaganda — when we needed to see them as aggressors. Honestly Germany, you really should have let the Russians kill those deer on the Eastern Front in WWI instead of splitting off half your army because rich Germans were crying about having Russians sleep in their precious manors… You also should have never presumed that because Mexico shared your helmet style that they were eager to get in a war with the US. You were SO close to winning WWI and looking back… I think the world would have been a better place if you HAD won WWI >_<. Yeah, beat that angels butt good and hard!

Those half naked little boys with wings are not Cupid, but angles, specifically cherubim. This sort of depicton of angels was quite common in baroque paintings, though it seems a little silly nowadays. We have seen those little guys as T.J. God’s henchmen during the whole arc. Cupid/Amor, who is often depicted in a similar way, yet with bow and arrow, is a lesser god of the Greek/Roman Pantheon, so he shouldn’t really be in this arc and if he was he shouldn’t be a henchman of T.J.God. Also, there is only one cupid, but obviously several of those winged guys in this arc, so I think it is very clear that they are angels.
Seem like every high powered being has a thing against other high powered beings.
@ Dullahan:
Or started by a driver who couldn’t read a map…
@ someguy:
Thanks, I got that when I saw the tags, and I get the WW date inferences. What I don’t get is what is actually happening. Did that particular angel cause both world wars?
He may be older than the planet, but is he an adult by deity standards? How old are, say, Odin and that Aztec god Woo ate a while ago?
I’d like to point out to everyone who is complaining about this story arc that Larisa has a deadly disease, and without divine or demonic intervention, she will most likely die by the age of 30.
She just made a deal with the devil, and will become his advisor or whatever. The last multitude of strips show us that deities can interact with the human world. She becomes immortal.
Win-win-win-win-etc.
I have not seen this side of the raccoon god. She always seemed to composed and reasonable.
