So, re what Tepoz said in the second frame: just who is it who gives him his assignments, allows (or doesn't allow) him the freedom to act, and decides whether what he's doing is or is not too hurtful to people?

I've never been clear on whether we've actually "met" the people who set the rules for Tepoz and the three Golem Girls, during the centuries before Monica's birth. I think we know that they're survivors from Lanthis, and might be among the "immortal politicians" who were immortalized by Mayahuel, but I don't think we know much more than that?

So, who pulls the strings of our Smurf?

Well, apparently Kukulcan was acting as Tepoz's direct overseer, and I think that he and the other immortal politicians were being influenced by Jin.

I also wonder if Connie has been trying out her Scary Clown makeup lately?

hey no one remembered this???

I had more or less successfully forgot that genre and a lot of that era...

That was when i was getting into punk, alternative and alt.country. (

Sometimes the same band was all three at once. As Bill Davis of Dash Rip Rock once said, asking people to be careful down in the mosh pit "...you know, I think we may be the only country band I know that HAS a mosh pit..."

Damn, the list of Mythical Creatures in Japanese Mythology! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_l ... from_Japan

"According to the explanation at Mizuki Shigeru Road in Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture, the amefurikozō would be the one with the role of adjusting rain, something that is greatly related to the work and life of all living things."

Since the little guys come out in the wet, wearing a pole-less umbrella as a hat, don't steal their rain gear, don't even think about it...
