Soup the Comic Strip by Alun Clewe
Comic strip for November 30 2023.
PANEL ONE: Erlak speaks with Tagaidin, the god of daring. TAGAIDIN: Sure, I'd be up for a little exploration. PANEL TWO: Tagaidin motions toward another god, a girl half his height. TAGAIDIN: But we'll take my sister Doba, goddess of innocence, with us. PANEL THREE: Erlak looks at Doba uncertainly. PANEL FOUR: Erlak faces Tagaidin, though still looking at Doba. ERLAK: Um, won't that be a little, uh, dangerous? PANEL FIVE: Angle on Tagaidin and Doba, with Erlak in the foreground. TAGAIDIN: We _are_ gods, right? ERLAK: Well... yeah, but there are gods, and there are gods... DOBA: I could probably beat you up if I wanted to.

In retrospect, I'm... not really sure why I added Doba to this storyline? She doesn't really contribute anything, and I don't recall having any future plans for her. I mean, having introduced her, I'm sure I will bring her back at some point, but I don't think I had any plans for her when I wrote this strip. Yeah, there are two strips in the storyline (including this one) where the "gag", such as it is, depends on her presence, but (a) I'm sure I could have come up with different jokes, and (b) they're not very funny anyway.
