February 10, 2023: Vengeance

Noah is on a Zoom call with his mom, Hrefna aka Granny Thorsen. Hrefna is enraged and tells Noah, "I will speak to Odin on your behalf, boy." Noah replies, "Thanks, Ma, but—" and Hrefna interrupts him, continuing with her fists raised in the air, "Odin will send his ravens to pluck the flesh from their bones!" Noah again tries to get a word in edgewise, saying, "OK, Ma, but—" and again Hrefna interrupts to continue hollering, her eyes bulging with rage, "He will enact a terrible blood vengeance upon the fraudsters!" Noah replies, "Right, Ma, but—" and Hrefna again interrupts him and proclaims, "The wolves and raptors will feast upon their entrails!" Finally Noah is able to speak his piece, face in his hands: "I appreciate that, Ma, but all I really want is a human to answer the phone and help me dispute the fraudulent charges." Hrefna pauses, then replies, "Hmm... our Norse forebears didn't really have a god of customer service, boy... I suppose you could petition Freyr?"

 

Granny Thorsen has no chill… well… maybe a bit since she didn’t reference the ol’ blood eagle treatment.

Lord knows the cartoonist would sure like to use that method on her fraudsters…
