So, is he asking because he

So, is he asking because he considers Vincent his "duddy"? "But I want one NOW duddy!" Oh well, anyone for a golden omelet?

Boy, are YOU off, bear!

You mean you've never read nor seen either film version of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory? I caught that reference right off! (The version Shivian's referring to is the one with Gene Wilder in it.)

Uhm....

I think Bear flat-out *quoted* the reference.

I'd have thought that was

I'd have thought that was obvious... but... I guess not. Veruca darling, we'll get you one latah! "But I want one NOW!" I think I liked her better falling into the squirrels thing than the goose one. Cuz then it turned out she was a bad nut, and that was awesome. As well as where the "whipped" cream comes from... that RAWKED!!!

Um...

Um...did Shivian write 'Imbolc' or 'Imbolg'?!

Strawberry_11's picture

It looks like he spelled it

It looks like he spelled it with a "g".

Shivian Balaris's picture

yep!

yep, with a G, yo :-)

Aslayn's picture

Well..

Both are right spellings

PaganBear's picture

Yep... then there's Oimelc

Yep... then there's Oimelc (which I rarely hear anybody use), Candlemas, and hilariously enough, the Feast for the Purification of the Virgin. Who wants to purify a virgin? Isn't that like painting a stop sign redder? Hey virgins, THANKS FOR NOTHING!

Pure Virgins

Maybe it's those born again virgins. You know how it goes, anything in the past can instantly be forgotten or excused if you call a do over and be born again.

Well, Diana is supposed to

Well, Diana is supposed to have a spring that restores her virginity when she bathes in it...

Lupercus!!

It's also called Lupercus(Festa di Lupercus) if you happen to follow Stregheria.

Very cool!

It's been a long time since I've talked to a Streghe.

My local Italian community has a few in its ranks, but it's good to see others!

Shivan...

Watching or Reading Charlie in the Chocolate Factory recently? Since that's the second quote in like...um... the last week - Technically within the last three days.

Is it Gene Wilder? Is that why you keep watching and thinking about it?

?????

I was going to ask that myself.

BTW, Johnny Depp's is closer to the book (IMHO).

WolfShadow's picture

That's fine...

That's fine...I personally prefer the Gene Wilder version because of how funny Gene was. He was a fantastic actor, I esspecially loved him in Blazing Saddles.

vesta_vesves_star's picture

Me too

I prefer it just because it's the original though. <3

amadeus_rex's picture

No Argument there...

Gene is one of the greatest comedic actors of all time. And Blazing Saddles is funny as hell, not that the Christian hell is that funny. Well it was when Rowan Atkinson played the devil in a skit welcoming people to hell and said "And the Christians, Ah yes... I'm afraid the Jews where right." Ok, I'm rambling again.

Same

That and because Johnny Depp was just creepy. I'm sorry to people who like him/that version but I find it plain creepy

Blessed be,

Willow

zen-lida's picture

Ditto

even though Depp's was closer to the book, Wilder's performance is the by far the best. All of the clever wordplay is what made the movies so memorable. That and the oompa-loompas :D

Deepest apologies for the vacation

Welcome back everyone! I see many faces I remember and tons more new to me! Welcome back veterans and glad to have you newbies!

My deepest apologies for the strip’s long vacation. To not get into much detail, thankfully my feet are back underneath me again and I’m hopefully in a place where I can create the strip on a regular basis again. Currently there is a (huge) void in the strip (from August 4th to November 3rd) – I will try to refill this with content, but I do not want to promise what I am unsure I can deliver. If I do, you’ll be the first to know!

In the Works - Oh My Gods! Hardcover

While it's not ready to be finalized yet, I wanted to let all you lovely fans know about a special project I am working on. I am going to create an Oh My Gods! Special Edition Hard Cover book of the first Five Years of the strip. It will be pretty! It will be fantastic! It will (sadly) also be very expensive! However, I know there will be at least one customer (me) and perhaps maybe more!

Just wanted to give you all a tease!
