Is it blasphemous to make Ganesha go “Toot”?
- Seeoahtlahmakaskay: Well, this is what happens when you don’t follow The Rules…
- Book cover: The Rules
- Seeoahtlahmakaskay: As department head, I’ll take over God’s responsibilities until a successor is found.
- Ganesha: I’m sure you’ll use your new power solely for the good of mankind.
- Ganesha: TOOT
- Ganesha: Seriously, what are you gonna do?
- Caption: Soon.

Possibly the best outcome.
So what happens with John’s family now?

Nothing…
Wait, so if Ganesha is a Hindu god, was that John guy really the god of all humans or like just the god of Christians?
Cloud should become human god… Then Richard’s grandson will be Jesus…

Well, considering that the name of the Abrahamic God is Jehovah (יהוה), it’s likely that most Christians wouldn’t consider him to be their god, regardless of whatever title he apparently possessed
Please don’t apply logic to the S&W pantheon.
Unexpected and hilarious! I love that Ganesha use his trunk for trumpeting when laughing. 🙂
Nice times comes for humanity 🙂
And lo there was cheesecake for all (but raccoons first).
“Is it blasphemous to make Ganesha go “Toot”?”
No, but it would be to ask Vishnu to lend a hand!
What does it say on the base of the statue?
@ Brijeka Vervix:
The God of all Christians if Coyotes logic were applied, and since they’re *technically* in the same universe it does fit.
Which… hmm… now I’m wondering if the Korolevs ever crossed paths with a fire elemental themselves.
Seeoahtlahmakaskay: When two or more are gathered together in my name, I will be with them, and I will probably be hungry. What you do unto the least of my children, you do unto me – that includes feeding and petting. Blessed are those who stroketh of the tail of the Lord. Mmmmm, hosanna in excelcis. ^ω^
>:=)>
@ Greenwood Goat:
Hmm.. I rather thought stroking the tail might be kind of blasphemous. The petting of the head and the scratching behind the ears on the other hand… 🙂
Love that last panel, Powree!
I would say, “why not the devil” as he actually has some knowledge of humans, but it’s clear that god office politics play a role here, so the department head has to step up, despite her loyalties clearing lying elsewhere.
@ Novil:
Or any pantheon, really. Faith is kind of a refutation of logic.
Well Madison, Al has just named their new minor league baseball teams the Rocket City Trash Pandas
We humans really have the worst luck with our gods.

After writing webcomic for 10 years, you do realize it right that your audience love to take everything mentioned in your comic seriously and have a long deep detailed discussion about it. Now that you introduce religion god into it, you’re going to deal with future discussion about religion in S&W. There will be clash about it, and the past controversy about “teens in bikini” is nothing compared to what will happen. As evidenced to what have happenned in other site’s comment section whenever any talk about religion appear.
Just found out that ganesh has actually appeared on the first two strips on divine comedy arc. So I was wrong thinking that this is the first appearance of a religion god.
If only there’s a way to edit or delete past comment so I don’t have to post twice.
Does this mean Sandra will get her 20 children? The human god was the reason Lily’s prayer was obsolete.
Novil wrote:
Yeah, otherwise everone will be wondering how the goddess of a species of mammal that’s found primarily in North America (with introduced populations in Japan and Europe) apparently has more importance than far more cosmopolitan species like ospreys or brown rats.
@ Cheuk:
I think those are observation deck windows.
> Is it blasphemous to make Ganesha go “Toot”?
Not really, IMO. Humans tend to snort when they laugh hard, who says an elephant doesn’t “toot”.

That’s just one interpretation of the pronunciation of יהוה, and a pretty wack one at that. “Yahweh” at least sounds like Hebrew, but I’m personally banking on “Yahuh”, the reasoning being that if Eliyahu (Elijah’s Hebrew name – literally “my god is Yahu”) blasphemed every time he said his own name, he probably wouldn’t have been one of the most exalted characters in the old testament.
A monument to raccoons. Paris would seem to be very racoon-compatible, and not just the stereotypical red and white stripes shirts. I wonder, is a monument to Sandra to the _right_ of the Tower?
So John’s dead? Too bad! An injured, cranky, and slightly scared god would be much fun. The feet were left behind, after all…
I find the only way that I can describe Ye Thusa as god would be The Punisher playing Civilizations as well as adding the (DC/Faucett Comics) Captain Marvel Family as nepotism.
Hindu depiction nitpicking.
Ganesha has only one tusk, There is a story/legend on the why involving Ganesha and daddy Shiva.

Well, remember that Roc killed the dinosaurs, as well as most of the life on Earth, 65 MYA. I think it’s less about importance, more about willingness to actually do the work in the face of possible catastrophe. Most Gods seem content to just sit back idly, Seeoahtlahmakaskay seems to want to put in the Hours for whatever reason.
Landon W God for CEO (Celestial Exec Officer) – He has the breeding – Mom considers Westboro Baptists to be too liberal and with all due respect to Landon’s Dad, that woman has to be a virgin!
This will make for world peace when Devil’s new 2IC takes office.
@Novil
Is it back to the zoey arc after this?
Actually, Ganesh should go “honk”! But we’ll accept “toot” too! BTW, I said “we’ll accept” because I am an Indian and a Hindu. Just don’t let our present ruling party fanatics read this!
What’s the text under the statue say?
Well, I’m sure Sandra will have a good life as Woo’s pet.
Actually, there could be an arc around that.
Yeah, I didn’t like the Australian Embassy either. Fuck them.

So Australia now has a raccoon god as their ambassador to France?
Are we going to finish the contest or is it already finished?
I certainly wouldn’t think an “Act of God” would be out of the question.

I believe that “Yahu” is a shortened version of “Yahweh” much like how “Jah” is a shortened version of “Jehovah” (The Latinised version of God’s name) Another example would be how one might call someone named “Richard” by the shortened version “Dick”
@ erejnion:
Embassy is probably on the 3rd floor of the statue base.

The current Ambassador seems like a cool guy:

sacrebleu!
Kinda hope one of the main characters (Sandra, Larissa, or Cloud) gets the job. Otherwise this seems kinda pointless.
Critic wrote:
Well, the god-bashing comic strips are mostly pointless anyway. Unless you dislike religions enough and feel that others must do, too.
I for one support this blasphemy.
Critic wrote:
As stated above I hope it is exactly Cloud… Also Larisa already has a job there…

Wait, why should Gunnerkrigg Court be in the same universe?
I’m fine with this. Keep her as the human god.
@ HKMaly:
It’s canon, we had an entire arc of Elgamore along with appearances from other characters like Ysengrin, Renard and Coyote.
MidoriLuna wrote:
Oh wow, really? Glad I’m been reading Gunnerkrigg Court for awhile now. Eglamore was seen round here? Interesting!
@ Persia:
Maybe they even upgraded to rooms that are located over the river Seine!
