Mar. 18th, 2008 02:53 amWhenever the idea of washing hands before eating comes up, it always reminds me of the old "Choose Your Own Adventure", Bobby and Bonnie, Zan and I used to do with Dad. It was effectively a rulesless tabletop with Dad as the narrator. Anyways, our mother in the game always made us wash our hands before eating, even though neither Dad nor Mom made a point of it in real life. We got trained to wash our hands only in the game.
Hmm, that game had some great stuff in it. I was just reminded of my Spell Checker, a black checker you could cast a spell into (spells were Enchanted Forest Chronicles-style rhymes) to see what it would do and how well. And, of course, there's a very useful (to certain people) magic item in Boreala that comes from Bobby and Bonnie.
Actually, it sorta reminds me of Minus. I guess omnipotence doesn't get boring if you're a kid? I do like the idea of a pantheon with a "most powerful" god that's a Minus-like kid and thus doesn't participate properly in the struggles of the other gods, though I'm sure things like that have been done before.
P.S. I hadn't seen this other comic by the Minus girl* before, but I'm a sucker for things that're very Japan, and I also like the handling of invisibility/ghostishness: Socks.
*: Yes, he's actually a guy, though I didn't know that 'til I checked. I'm tempted to start using girl gender-neutrally for the power of awesome and to confuse feminists, but I'm not sure I'm girl enough. Or something like that.
