A Lot For Christmas

 

Hey, I have a sketch for this one! Is that a church bulletin? I will neither confirm nor deny.

Text:
M: I don't want a lot for Christmas -
W: Then you don't want me because I've been told that I'm a lot.

No Bones About It

 

It's amazing what random facts kids will internalize. 

Text:
O: bloh bloh bloh I'm octopus!
L: Oh, you have lots of arms.
O: bloh bloh bloh I have no bones.
L: ... Yep, that too.

DOTA2 Zeus in Stereo

 

I feel the mythological Zeus would just throw a lightning bolt at you if he received any criticism, so this is real growth for him here. I believe he says this phrase in game when you direct him to a place on the map.

T: Zeus, hold the mic further away - you're overpowering the chorus.
Z: Sound advice!

DOTA2 Zeus the Technician

 

Another catchphrase from DOTA2, this time from Zeus. Enchantress, as a faun/dryad, clearly would question why someone would join an electricity company.
Back when I was in college, our pastor told us about how he wanted to officiate his friend's wedding but didn't know if he could so he called up his dad (also a pastor) and asked "Do I have THE POWER?" much to his dad's confusion. He explained THE POWER meaning the part at the end of the wedding ceremony when the pastor declares "by the power vested in me I pronounce you man and wife." And now his overly energetic inflection of THE POWER goes through my head sometimes when power is mention.

E: You accepted the job at the electricity company?
Z: A position of power!

Adorable Kid Boy

 

I mean, you can be all of those things and also adorable. And he definitely is.

Text:
L: Are you being adorable?
O: No, I'm Ori and a kid and a boy. 

DOTA2 Kunkka on Laundry

 

Happy Birthday to my SEEEEEEEESTER!
So many comics come from sitting next to my husband while he plays his games. I have no desire to play a battle royal with all the people trying to get me, but I like hearing (some of) the character's catchphrases and coming up with comics slightly out of character to use said phrases. 

Explanation: Tide is a brand of laundry detergent. Kunkka is an admiral in the navy and has many phrases about the sea levels and conditions.

SS: I put too much detergent in, and how the laundry room is filling with bubbles!
K: Rising Tide. 

DOTA2 Necrophos in Winter

 

In the game DOTA2, this character has many rather visceral phrases but when he says "raging contagion" I always think of toddlers toddling along with all their germs.

N: Raging contagion!
A: *sneeze*
O: *sniffle*
