Ah, nice to see this Perry Bible Fellowship classic. Always a favorite.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

What are they up to now?

I was always bummed they didn't become a bigger thing, like a book or series.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm honestly not sure. Nick didn't publish anything for like 10 years but then some more comics tickled out for a while and stopped again. Maybe there's an interview somewhere.

I get it. I was the same way with YouTube videos until I decided I just didn't want to do them anymore. I would do them in spurts of creativity. (Get your mind out of the gutter!)

I'm not seeing the wheelchair ramp on the volcano

[–] samus12345 63 points 4 months ago

That's what the rainbow lifts are for.

Where we're going you don't need wheelchairs to move

I mean judging by the cast, he could have used his upper body strength to get in the regular cloud death swing. But I guess it's cool Aranaktu is thoughtful enough to include accessibility.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

maybe he has other hidden disabilities that prevent him from doing that. dont be so closeminded

Too late. Into the volcano.

am i the aranaktu for laughing

[–] vonxylofon 8 points 4 months ago

Do you accept gifts?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (7 children)

Wouldn't the second one seeing the first one released over the volcano simply jump off into the ocean?

[–] [email protected] 70 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And miss out on the sweet release from this mortal coil?

[–] [email protected] 60 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Probably not, because contrary to what video games would indicate, water does not prevent all fall damage.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

So the older video games told me the truth! - that the slightest contact with any body of water is instantly fatal from any height.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You lied to me, Aonuma san! ;_;

[–] hamFoilHat 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You TOLD ME THE TRUTH original Assassin's Creed.

[–] CrazyLikeGollum 16 points 4 months ago

Sure, sure, water doesn't prevent fall damage, but a well placed hay pile and a properly executed dive will...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

In fact, it prevents almost no fallcdamage beyond 20 feet

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

You might be able to get away with just broken legs if you landed right. Then you'd be in the middle of the ocean was broken legs.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They're pretty high up, don't think they'd survive the splat

[–] Zorque 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They wouldn't survive the sizzle either.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I'd probably risk the water, but I doubt you'd come away unscathed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Sure, but, I mean, it's Aranaktu.

[–] ChicoSuave 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A cloud descenda out of the sky and offers a rainbow swing to sit on and fly away. The only way a sane person would ever ride on that, unprompted and unprepared to see such a thing, is if there was a charm or mesmerizing effect happening. These folks stood no chance. The clouds showed up and Aranaktu welcomed them all.

The other way would be if someone hadn't had all hope and wonder removed from them

That's why old groucy cynics rarely get dropped into Volcanos. Remember kids being a Sourpuss saves your life.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

It's not just a volcano, it's Aranaktu. Why would you pass up your one chance?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

We don't know that the rainbows can't restrain you

[–] samus12345 6 points 4 months ago

It's not clear whether the people know they're going off to be sacrificed or not. Maybe they're glad to do it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Aranaktu looks like he's a least a kilometer tall. Those children were doomed the moment they sat on those rainbow swings.

[–] niktemadur 19 points 4 months ago

Careful, somebody might post this in Wholesome Memes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Ahh i saw that one coming, still funny

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

A true old god would have given him new legs and then sacrificed them, Araknatu Schmucknaktu.
