In the Wapsiverse Zeus is real and Paul is not.oldmanmickey wrote:And in the waspiverse the difference between Paul and Zeus is?
We know that the world grid was set up to keep undesirables out. The chat with Tsillah after Katherine and Atsali's Big Adventure revealed that the triangle anomalies in the grid may have had something to do with a larger plan by the Nu Gui. Perhaps some of the old less-friendly dieties are planning a return.Dave wrote:Also wondering whether the strip title "By Jove" bears a deeper meaning. Jove/Jupiter/Zeus play basically the same roles in Greco-Roman mythology, and Zeus has been specifically mentioned in Wapsi Square (as the patron, in effect, of Bia).
Add to this the fact that the Gods were notorious for behaving capritiously and arbitrarily towards mortals, playing on their vulnerabilities, using them for the Gods' pleasures or agendas without so much as a beg-pardon...
So... could the way that the Library is and has been behaving (which Tsillah critiques quite strongly in the strip after this one) be an indication that Zeus might be playing a role in what's going on here? Might his voice, be the voice of the Library?
