- Larisa: Compared to his peers, Jesus was an OK guy.
- Edward: Very true!
- Larisa: He helped the poor and sick. And he kicked some serious capitalist ass in the temple!
- Edward: Matthew 21:12-13.
- Larisa: And let’s not forget how he turned dumb ol’ water into wine!
- Edward: He just knew what’s good!
- Harriet: Larisa!
- Harriet: I must ask you to leave our house now. You’re a bad influence on my husband.

That’s… pretty amazing actually. Like seriously, it takes a special kind of awesome to be a bad influence on your boyfriend’s parents.
I guess landon’s mother should reread her bible :p not just extracts :p
@ Spike:
Completely agree 😮
A bad influence? Is she (Landon’s mom) opposed to drinking and discussing the bible?
Yes Larissa, how dare you discuss scripture with her husband! You heathen you! It’s quite clear that the only one with a problem here is Landon’s mother, but she should realize that her son finding another girl he likes that has read the bible twice is not likely to happen.
@ Feartheswans:
It’s likely that because she has such strict views, that she’d only accept someone with similarly strict views for her son though. Bleh, people like that are a pain.
Larisa: *ahem* And what did Jesus do when the Devil himself tempted him…?
Harriet: He said…
Later…
Landon: Why are you standing behind my mother like that?!
Larisa: St. Luke’s orders! Luke 4:8 to be specific.
Harriet: But…
Larisa (loud whisper): *psst* I think your mother has issues with literal interpretation of the King James Version! 😉
I just have to ask: What’s up with Landon’s dad’s nose this strip? It hasn’t looked like that previously. The only thing I can think of is that he has a cold and his nose is going red. That or he has a nosebleed, but I’m pretty sure that would be problematic for a lot of reasons, even if it’s entirely coincidental.
What happened to Larisa’ s left arm in the last panel?
@ William Jennings:
The red nose is frequently used in comics to indicate a level of intoxication. Usually 2 outta 3 sheets to the wind.
@ Random lurker:
LOL I would make that a bad influence in my house.
Looks like Edward’s totally fine with Larisa 😀
@ William Jennings:
Contemplate the winebar behind them, and know that alcohol intoxication is known for causing redness in the face (although usually only when drunk to excess, it’s a convenient representation in comics, as if Laria holding the bottle and wine glasses aren’t evidence enough!)
I’m really concerned about what Larisa is doing with the wine… I mean, she can’t be up to any good. Maybe Landon’s mother is right…
@ Sam:
Agreed. Being Christian does not mean you have to be a stiff. I’ve been a Christian my whole life (since I was about 12) and never found it necessary to be judgmental or tight-assed around others who don’t adhere strictly to everything I believe.
I think Larisa is amazing. Her interpretation of the Bible is …. um, interesting, though I am not certain that Jesus was anti-capitalist with the temple merchants so much as he was disgusted that a temple was being used for personal profit rather than in service of worshiping God…he’d of been just as disgusted by Catholic priests who sold indulgences in the middle ages too.
Still, Landon is lucky to have a girl like Larisa. She’s exciting, vibrant, and not all-together likely to push him away from his faith. She’s unique but hey aren’t we all?
@ Adrian:
I seriously doubt that Larisa has any designs on Landon’s father beyond getting in good with him in her own way.
There she goes again, corrupting America’s oldth.
That woman is obviously not Christian.
Mark 2:16-17: (16)When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, “Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?” (17)And hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Shouldn’t she, instead, be trying to witness to Larissa?
Or at the very least, be getting the stick out of her butt and laughing?
@ Jesse:
Amen Jesse.
@ Jesse:
Yet that is the way that all too many people who call themselves Christian act. It is, after all, very easy to judge others.
Where I don’t particularly like her attitude here, there could be more to it than merely being stuck up. She could have been hurt by someone very much like Larisa (I know, scary thought!) in the past. Maybe her husband has had problems with alcohol before? There’s a lot we simply don’t know, and while her actions do not seem to play nice, maybe we ourselves need to consider a little more before simply thinking of her as that shallow… *Not that I suspect her as anything more than a stuck up holier than thou type, but you never know unless you know!*
I’m kind of impressed he can tell you the verse it’s from just by giving a small description.
Whenever someone mentions “What Would Jesus Do?”, I always come up with the answer “Flip tables and chase people with a whip”. There are many bible verses that I find “interesting”. One that I just found is Psalms 14:1. I guess that every accomplishment ever done by an atheist was actually evil.
Larisa could be the b-a-double d, BADDEST influence in the biz-i-ness (that’s three syllables)
You have permission to worship her…
…
…now!
(Please tell me there is someone out there who gets this reference)
Ah, the seductive practices of the oenophile, the classic “grooming behavior” of their kind….

Friend Roden, have you lost track of the fact that it’s Larisa you’re discussing here?
There are laws of physics (much less mere ordinances and customs of man) she’s got designs on violating.
So far, the only people who have given any evidence of reading the bible are Larissa and Edward. It is a good point….when the Son of God came to earth, his first miracle was to make 680 liters of high quality wine. Then he partied it up with hookers and con men.

Actually it was a Knotted rope not a whip. But as they say “Close enough for government work”
@ MawileCeyvis:
Nothing that is the dad’s arm/hand holding the glass of wine. And mom pretty much is objecting to a minor pouring wine or more wine for the adult.
@ Random lurker:
It ain’t the drinking,its the minor pouring more for the hubby, who seems to be getting a snoot full, judging by the color of his nose.
Ok Harriet that’s just mean! Also Larissa scared me with that bottle of wine. I thought it was for her. Then again it would make sense. I like Edward he’s pretty cool.
@ Robert:
Atheists and Deists are just as judgmental – if not more so – than some so-called Christians.
I don’t think its so much belief or lack of it that causes that, rather its a flaw in the human character, a desire to elevate oneself over others based on ones values. Even the most faithful people cannot overcome base human nature at times.
@ Robert:
I do think that Robert has a point. I wonder more about the backstory of people like Landon’s mom. Its possible she is just stuck up, or suffers the flaw of pride that I mentioned before. But then again there might be more to this than what we know.
Also I wonder if Larisa will mention her secret to his parents if things go bad over all this? Maybe clear the air between everyone?
@ BlkBear:
Whoops I meant the third panel. If that is what you are talking about, then I guess I can see it. VGCats updated btw.
@ Tucci78:
LOL you may have a point? I wonder if she still thinks its Halloween…if you get my drift?
Also I think someone already said this but where’s Landon in all this? You’d think, being Larisa’s boyfriend, that he would at least be watching the game or something. Did Larisa just say “Well, I’m gonna go into the basement alone with your dad and some alcohol, see ya later” ?
Well, I guess this IS Larisa…

HaHaHaHaHaHaHa True so very true 🙂 🙂 it may surprisingly turn out that Larissa may actually know more about the bible than Harriet. I mean she seems to know a lot about that river from Greek mythology. It also wouldn’t Suprise me if she brought up the time God saved those two guys from being “burned” alive. It’s true although I forgot which section it was in.
@ MawileCeyvis:
Landon’s at Nintendo’s headquarters getting ready for Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.
@ Switch Master:
I have three hidden cameras set in their Redwood, WA office. ALL HAIL THE CHIMECHO EVOLUTION THAT WILL BE PSYCHIC/GHOST CAUSE THAT IS AN EPIC COMBINATION AND CHIMECHO LOOKS LIKE A GHOST. MEGA MAWILE FTW!
Larisa may be a bad influence, but she knows her Bible. But… Doesn’t Satan quote… This is a disturbing line of thought.
Let’s file it under, best not to think about.
@ MawileCeyvis:
It’s hanging down….you;re probably distracted by the father’s hand holding the wine glass.
Oh… no I think Larisa is dreaming 😀 and the true test still awaits 😀
@ Sgtflyer:
Cherry-picking Bible verses: Both sides do it and neither side has any excuse.
@ William Jennings:
Wine. Alcohol. Red-nosed flush caused thereupon.
@ William Jennings:,,,a lot of old style comics would have the nose being all shaded like that as an indication of intoxication
@ MawileCeyvis:
Must get back to playing Pokemon soon.
@ William Jennings:
He’s drunk, you nincompoop.
@ William Jennings:
Neat aside: some people /do/ get a red nose when they drink. It has something to do with a mutation connected to.. rice I think? I forget, but they actually have a higher alcohol tolerance than most by a small margin, according to certain studies.
@ C. W. Roden:
Projecting much, Mr. Ignorant Blanket Statement?

HIJOLE. I admit I looked but seriously. How is that comic even funny?
Ransoomair is just not that funny, he’s a fine artist yet Powree is significantly better.
Just nothing to go there for, yet I am hopeful and still stop by.
As for capitalism, yes, all systems have potential for evil. But since capitalism has more potential period, I am in favor of it. The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation & whatnot. However, my family has connections to China as well, many people do quite nicely in socialistic societies and do good things as well.
I believe America should remain capitalist, there Gould be diversity of systems in the world. I know a lot I Europeans (and, frankly, the rest of the world) are confused by this. But it worked here. And the extreme wealth hoarders eventually die.
Did I just write a bunch of junk?
I apologize…
I don’t think I like Landon’s father anymore.
Trying to get his son’s girlfriend. Going with her into the basement. That’s no coincedence.
Where IS Landon anyways?
