- Larisa: Landon, I find it hard to put into words how much you’ve hurt me with your behavior.
- Landon: I’m sorry, Larisa, please…
- Larisa: I thought you were my soulmate, the love of my life. Apparently, I was wrong…
- Landon: I can change, I swear!
- Larisa: Maybe I’ll be able to forgive you one day, Landon. But first, I need some time alone.
- Landon: Larisa, you know that I love you…

How could you, Landon? How could you?!
He could try with the line “there can’t be water without fire and vice-versa” or some other dualistic reasoning.
I have never heard of this hero… does that make me eligable… ah probably not… I like blue dragons with ice and magic the moat

At least it wasn’t Iceman! But Larisa really shouldn’t take this sort of thing personally – it’s going to leave Landon with so many landmines to step around…
Landon: (singing to himself) ♫ I wish I was the brakeman/ On a hurtlin’ fevered train/ Crashing a-headlong into the heartland/ Like a cannon in the rain/ With the beating of the sleepers/ And the burnin’ of the coal/ Counting the towns flashing by/ In a night that’s full of soul/ With light in my head/ You in my arms/ Woo-hoo!♫
Larisa: Th-that song… IT’S BY THE WATERBOYS!!!! *runs away sobbing theatrically*
Landon: 😮
Surely Landon can say something about how water heated by fire can create a steamy situation or something like that…
Aquarius? Really?
Not Ubermensch or Die Fledermaus?
The Roof Is on Fire is Larisa’s favorite song.
@ Greenwood Goat:
Ice is sometimes known as “the cold fire” so that would probably work out better.
Looks like Landon just….
Put out the flame.

We are 7 strips into this sub-arc and I still have no idea where this is going. I can’t wait to see what happens/ what drug Novil was on when he concocted such a convoluted way for assisting the living conditions of their impoverished friend.
I suppose the two don’t work together on a fundamental level? Or is it an “elemental” level?
Oh, that’s shallow!
@ Peace:
Wrong. It’s this girl is on fire.

Think of her reaction if he said that Mujer Milagro was his favourite superhero instead.
soooo…
the”poor luna strips” are compleatly finished now i assume?
well, thats just
greatwonderfulperfect!now ill never see how it ends!
I hope this isn’t long term. I wouldn’t like it if Larisa was shallow like that. Or if it did go for a few strips, I hope it’s an interesting reconciliation.
Damn it Landon, control yourself and your insane love of water. There’s nothing attractive about someone being wet.
@ Threadnaught
Well, there are a few situations where that might be a good thing:
Swimming (hard to swim and not get wet)
Putting out fire (granted not Larissa’s favorite thing, but better than someone’s house burning down)
Wet T-shirt contest (needs no explanation)
Songs? There is only one possible song choice for this situation: Fire by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.
“I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE”
On another note, is it just me or has Larisa’s pyromania degenerated somewhat? There’s the uncontrollable urge to start fires and then there’s some sort of philosophical attachment to fire as an abstract concept that necessitates the demonisation of fictional characters. I can’t remember any similar behaviour, but I could be wrong.
Lol I started to post a comment about the constellation aquarius and then through an internet link chain suddenly I was looking at the Wikipedia article on pederasty In ancient Greece. Pretty fucked up. Seriously tho, aquarius is the name of the constellation dedicated to Zeus’s cup-bearer Ganymede (a guy), whom Zeus kidnapped and made immortal in order to have sexual relations with him and to make him his cup-bearer. This sparked the spread of pederasty, a practice where men of aristocratic origin arranged for a “civil abduction” (with the consent of his father and everything) of a youth between the ages of 12-17. The youth would typically also be an aristocrat and it was actually considered an honor to be chosen for such acts. The man and youth would go into the wilderness and just hunt and fish for about two months, and presumably they had sexual acts, typically intercrural sex. After the two months they would return and the boy would be declared a man. This practice spread for several centuries.
Also my fav superhero is Hawkeye.
Water summons wind. Wind makes fire dance. Dance fire Dance.
Wait! What happened to Lena?
Larisa, you can do better. Lots better. Unless I’m mistaken, that’s Poseidon, Greek God of the seas.

Luna is not relevant to this specific joke, so she isn’t shown here.
Didn’t Larisa just set water on fire in thr last comic, it would just be a quick fix for her.
@ Leomon:
Also of course how it pertains to women…

I was wondering how long it would take for that to show up.
Oh come on Landon that was so obvious! Next you tell her you think Firefighters are heroes :Pfff:.
So either you wanted (maybe secretly) to break up or you want to stand your ground and have a relationship where you are allowed you own opinion. Well good luck with that when it comes to Larissa :D.
hmm…train of thought not working…Landon likes water based super heroes…Larisa likes fire based super heroes…fire and water can be used together to make for one helluva steamy relationship…dunno why Larisa wants to get rid of him now that she can see why they get so hot together.
Larisa, are you really that petty?
This is a quip at Aquaman, right? Has to be.
Actually, if you ignore the Superfriends and Brave and the Bold* interpretations of the character, he is a bona-fide badass!
But people always keep focussing on those two interpretations.
*Actually that one was not even half bad. It suffered a bit from exisiting in a more lighthearted interpretation of Batman, but otherwise was awesome too.
Aquarius has the worst superpowers. Talking to fish? Seriously?
Actually water can be even more destructive than fire especially over time.
Landon! You FOOL! How could you DO that to Larissa? How could you?
This is still funny…
Hey, it worked for Finn and Flame princess.
Water when heated enough splits into Oxygen and Hydrogen. Can that stuff burn? Ooooohyes. Explosivly so.
Larissa, yes, Aquarius is a bit lame and he isn’t as cool as Flame Man but really, are you going to let an otherwise good relationship slip away because of something as silly as comic book hero preferences?
Besides, Raccoon Man beats them all hands down.
“I thought you were my soulmate, the love of my life.”
Aww, she honestly felt that way about him? That’s quite a development from someone who used to be able to get by on just being nice to her.
I find myself offended that Larisa would be so offended that he likes certain superheroes………she does know everything isn’t about her an her opinions…right?

Have you ever seen Larisa doing anything half-hearted?
he could have said something like…”..after Johnny Storm….”…but daaamn Landon
I would have guessed Larisa’s favourite song is Disco Inferno, but maybe she’s too young. It hasn’t gotten much air time since 9/11.
Calm down everyone, Larisa is probably not really so shallow and petty as to truly break up with Landon over this. More likely she is teasing and manipulating Landon, or if not then something much more serious is going on and she is desperate to break it off with him due to some unrelated factor like the presumed fatal illness or something.
OPPOSITES ATTRACT
what?
Time for Landon to Do a Thermite onto ice demonstration for Larisa.
Oh, Landon. You daft fool.
