My wife and I are living in northern Sweden and looking forward to the Midsommar holiday celebrations this week. However, we actually had to ask one of the locals yesterday, “is it summer yet?” True, we have not seen snow on the ground in, well, maybe four weeks… but it’s hard to believe we are hitting the “halfway point” where the days start to become longer again. Enjoy summer while it lasts!
Thor watches his entire storm system peter out because of one bad cloud. Mjolnir scolds him for hooking up the clouds on a single circuit.
This toon is based on those frustrating Christmas lights where one bad bulb causes the entire string to go out (yep, it’s that time of year). I’m not sure if those kind of lights are still around or not, so hopefully you don’t need to be an Oldy Olserson to get the joke!
After getting hold of a book on weather, Baldur’s mind is filled with questions on evaporation rates, dew points, and barometric pressure. He asks his big brother Thor how he acquired his storm making skills. It must have taken years of study to learn. But the God of Thunder has been a shade tree mechanic his entire life…
Baldur is fully loaded on Old Sküll beer and ready to burst. Thor tells him now is the time to shower the earth with a glorious rainstorm. The eager humans on Midgard await the life giving rain from the heavens, calling to the Bright One to let it flow.
But weather can be fickle.
In the Norse religion, Thor was well-loved by the people, and “held to control the winds and showers, the fair weather and fruits of the earth.” (Adam of Bremen, medieval chronicler)
And his beard was red.
Odin frightens the humans with rumble of thunder and the sizzle of electricity. Doom is imminent. Someone is going to die. Run for the hills. Duck under a rock. Angry Odin is about to strike.
