Soup the Comic Strip by Alun Clewe
Comic strip for February 6 2024.
PANEL ONE: Erlak and Nizini are still sitting on the bench on the Mountains of the Gods. NIZINI: Erlak, PLEASE tell me you're not planning to try to start up your own bar. ERLAK: I'm planning to — oh, wait... uh, yeah. PANEL TWO: Close on Erlak in profile. ERLAK: Just think of it, another bar to hang out at for those who, for whatever reason, don't feel like going to the Dive Divine. PANEL THREE: Back view of Erlak and Nizini sitting at the bench. NIZINI: Erlak, this is ridiculous. You don't know the first thing about running a bar. ERLAK: Maybe not, maybe not... PANEL FOUR: Front view again. ERLAK: But I DO know SOUP! NIZINI: Okay... I'm hoping desperately that was a non sequitur....

Fun fact: Despite having the gods in this comic frequently hang out in bars, I have never really actually hung out in a bar in real life. I do not have a clear idea of what people actually do in bars. (Besides drink, I guess.) Does this mean I have no familiar foundation for my depictions of the gods hanging out in the Dive Divine? Well, okay, yeah, I guess, but then who's to say gods do the same thing in bars as mortals do, anyway?
