- Sandra: Is there anything we can do to avert disaster?
- Eugene Tyson: I strongly recommend strengthening your defenses!
- Richard: With vitamin C or something?
- Eugene Tyson: No. With a castle wall around your house.
- Eugene Tyson: A lava moat would be good too…

But will this castle walls stop catgirl from Japan? Because I sure hope in 5 days new mother-in-law from Japan comes to Sandra…
Well Larisa should be able to supply that… no problem.

I wish I could be as sure as you are but there are other options… After all, we have the Devil, his sister Fortuna and Mr God himself appearing in person this comic (and the Upper Management on top of that). On the other hand, a wall or a moat is rather useless against them as well. 🙂
@ Marteri:
Humans haven’t a god.
I am reminded of the video the artist of XKCD did about maintaining a lava moat. However, I believe that our resident mad scientist could come up with a more efficient solution.

Not at the moment, no, but when we did, he’d show up for cameos.
@ Francisco:
Yes, lava moats are extremely impractical.
It’s easier to move your house using jet engines.

Excuse me, but chapter 937, section 13A, subsection ã of The Rules clearly states that “in all cases that do not meet the standards of chapter 937, section 13A, subsection å, deities are required to act in a mortal-consistent fashion with regards to pitfalls, moats, falling anvils, trenches, walls, and/or doors.” I mean, really. Check your sources before posting.
I am beginning to think that the old man was let go from his teaching position Not because of something he tweeted.

Larisa is more likely to cause the disaster itself, rather than supply defense against it. Ye Thuza might have those things though.
On a scale one to ten what’s your favorite color of the alphabet?
I think what they really need is Yuna on retainer. After all, the prof doesn’t know about her yet. And teamed up with Larissa? Immovable.
What if she falls into the lava?
How about a black hole shield? Not even social media can escape.
Alan Richmon wrote:
In this comic they do.
Crestlinger wrote:
I’m sure Yuna can provide that.
It would also stop the “Vaccinations cause autism”from entering.
@ clickbait:
Didn’t he die? I seem to remember the raccoon god having to fill in for him at some point.
Dorf Fortress arc? :]
@ clickbait:
How Foradain and GenericGuestName had said no at the moment
@ Foradain:
If we have some luck no more gods for human. And seeing all the bad luck Sandra and company attracts we must be the specie with more luck of the creation (if only on principles’ matters)

He didn’t last all that long then …
@ Zaphid Beeblebrox:
larissa for the lava moat, ye thuza for the ray guns on top of the wall 😉
@ Francisco:
Video? I am only aware of a chapter in “How To” by Randall Munroe, did I miss something?
So rioters? No? Zombies then?
Or: gutter with crocodiles and sharks, barbed wire, watchtower, vigilant patrols with bloodhounds, aerial observers, weapons and ammo.
I’m starting to see why he posted something wrong on twitter…
And to think I was worried about this arc being too political.
Thank you for keeping me entertained.
All scientists love Minecraft!
@ Shadow Threat:
Nah, not bloodhounds. They are almost sickeningly friendly. Maremmas would be a more aggressive choice.
No, no. Build a house with a courtyard…let the outer walls of the house be your fortress walls.
The serendipity of ad placement showed me this cartoon of a square (well, rectangular anyway, hard to be sure) wall around the house, accompanied by an ad for Squarespace website software!
There’s no way he’s taking this seriously

Just to clear up any confusion, the second a’s in the section of The Rules have different symbols above them, therefore they are different sections. By the way, chapter 937, section 13A, subsection å states that deites/pantheons cannot steal or use other deitie’s/pantheons symbols of power, weapons, pets, magical methods of transportation, living quarters, and/or magical methods of communication without permission unless a deities’ existence/life is at stake, a speices is in danger of going extinct from unnatural forces, the Earth is in danger, someone is attempting to travel through time or to another dimension, timelines and/or dimensions and in danger of interaction, new timelines and/or dimensions will be created, and/or something significant is in danger from Larisa. Deites often break this rule when trying to get revenge on a deity or mortal creature. Every volume of The Rules combined is 20,439 large pages worth of small print.
I take it comic is based few months before riots? or is it predicting democrats reaction for 2020 election?

Recruit Yuna for that task… 🙂
A few days, later, at 8:37, they get the invoice for that wall.
XKCD has already covered the lava moat.
@ someguy:
John Brown’s body lies a-mouldin’ in the grave, but his soul goes marchin’ on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah, and his soul goes marchin’ on.
John Brown died to put an end to slavery, and his soul goes marchin’ on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah! His soul goes marchin’ on.
The stars, above in Heaven, they are lookin’ kindly down on the grave of old John Brown,
Glory, glory, hallelujah, but his soul goes marchin’ on.

You mean singing “Happy Days Are Here Again”?
Better yet, a moat with shark with friggin lazer beam things attached to their heads.
