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.

I am for Landon as god. It would be hilarious if god’ would sleep with a succubus, after all.
Why does everyone want a current cast member to become God? Wouldn’t that result in them becoming unable to take further part in any non supernatural story arc?

Not sure why people want a cast member as God. While there are a few cast members who would make interesting gods (looking at you, Taylor and Melody), the only one from the main cast I could see becoming God would be Larisa in an arc during which she gets thrown out for her divided loyalties (which would mix up the status quo without actually permanently eliminating a major cast member – I doubt it will happen, though, since Larisa seems to me like there are already other plans for her future).
In the end, though, I think this is just a long deus-ex-machina joke about Sandra’s and Zoey’s contest ending in a tie and in the near future I expect to see much more results from that contest than from any changes in divine mandate.

Because it’s fun to speculate, and those are the characters we can speculate with. We don’t actually want it.
P.S. There’s only one character that must never become God, though. I mean, I’m fond of fire, but every human spontaneously combusting is not within my top 10 favourite futures.

I think most wouldn’t actually want that, it is just fun to speculate who would cope in the best or the most hilarious way with that role. I for one didn’t like the overall outcome of the “divine comedy” arc at all and I wished it was non-canon. It was just too over the top weird, too “high Fantasy” and too much out of scale regarding the stakes for a comic that originally revolved around the life of a more or less normal kid with a cheeky talking racoon pet / friend. The DC arc had its funny moments, I kinda liked how the devil was portrayed as a chummy effective manager of the underworld, but the whole mixed panteon thing and some random human doing the job of human god while still having to answer to some unknown mysterious management board doesn’t make much sense. On top of that, the characters’ motivation was totally unclear, there really seemed nothing more behind Thomas J. God wanting to kill Sandra than he was just being a jerk. Not even remotely an explanation why he thought that would be a good idea or how he possibly thought that he was the good guy there, nor any explanation why he stuck to this stupid plan and even broke rules to get through with it if it was just a random act of cruelty. And the possible reasons for Satan to help out were kinda feeble, too, unless it was just about recruiting Larissa all along. In terms of publicitiy, he couldn’t have done any better than just sit back and watch T.J.God ruining his reputation.
Maybe I am overthinking it, but the whole arc was just complete nonsense – which is fine for a single strip, but somewhat unsatisfying for a major story arc. And any later reference to that arc doesn’t make it better, it makes it worse. Larissa being a Succubus in training is just too dark and doesn’t really fit her character (unless one has a really petty and prudish attitude and considered her a sinful hellspawn all along just because she is rather wild and has an early developed sex drive). Now with that unnecessary supernatural garbage added to her character, she isn’t just being a naughty girl anymore, but she is constantly trying to seduce her friends to corruption, so that in the end they’ll all go to hell – which doesn’t fit the original Larissa character at all.
And now these recent strips, adding Fortuna and Ctulhu to the mix (and mixing them into one) and now stating that the human god is not entiteled to mess with the fate of humans, which clearly was his core task in the DC arc. It gets worse and worse.
IMHO, Novils work would shine much more if he mainly stuck to doing story arcs more fitting for school kids, like the election arc, the swimming pool arc, the birthday party with just some everyday weirdness and some fun with wacky animals and would cut back on that pseudo-religious high fantasy mess.

Yep, totally agree!
And anyway: supernatural works so much better in Gaia! 🙂
@ demarion:
i second that motion!
Wheres new strip?
if your going on about who the new god of humans should be, how about Yuna?
(I’m just currious what a genus would come up with when given the power of a god)

Good question. A better one would be, why didn’t Kali show up, instead of Ganesha?
Looking at it now, I want Mister Rogers to be God in this comic. He is the “anomaly”, the only truly pure and innocent human! He is the only one who can become God without being corrupted!
@ Novil:
A while late but I have a Checkov’s Gun here.
As of strip 495 (http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/07/01/0495-office-prank/) , we know that Lily wished for Sandra to give birth to at least 20 kids. But Seeoahtlahmakaskay stated she doesn’t have the power to do anything . But since we’ve seen nothing about a replacement for John J. God as of now, I have a question: Did Seeoahtlahmakaskay grant Lily’s wish?
