    Betrayed by the wiggly foot. Shame.

    I have a hypothesis about all this spiritual stuff dating back to Narbonic…

    …some really REALLY high-end mad, someone who would strike existential terror into Dave or Helen or Sergio, long ago tried to find proof of the afterlife, couldn’t…

    …and built a few.

      To paraphrase Voltaire, “God did not exist. It was necessary to invent him.”

        And to paraphrase Frankenstein, “Invent God? Now I know how it feels to BE God!!!!”

      Not entirely unlike what happens in the background of the Neuromancer trilogy.

    This is why dogs don’t play poker.

      There are several pieces of artwork that refutes your statement. This, however, explains why they are not good at poker.

    What was that about Leggy Legba before?

    Man, Shaenon & Jeff SERIOUSLY decked Remy out right as Papa Legba, cane and all. NICE; and good going for not having him ridden by Baron Samedi, that’s what almost everybody does in every story where a papaloa asks Somebody in. Hey, does this make Unity a mamaloa?

      She’s more like a crazy sister than a mama.

      Remy is a houngan. Unity is just his friend.

      Of course Papa Legba wants to visit the good doggy.

      It’s the name of the Voodoo God of Communication, who facilitates (Or denies) contact with the spirit realms. At least from a lay reading, that’d be why doggo has name and this spirit has name. Doggo is probably better good boy or girl though.

        According to Wikipedia, dogs are sacred to Papa Legba, so it fits.

    Papa Legba has an affinity for dogs. There’s no way Sweetheart was gonna be able to resist his charms or his skritchies.

    Skin Horse has introduced me to some very interesting rabbit holes.
    This is definitely one of them!

    Curse the wiggly foot, that reveals all inner feelings! It is hard to lie when the foot doth wiggle.

      You probably shouldn’t suggest cursing something within earshot of someone who claims to be a voodoo god. You don’t know what he might do.

      Talking about needlework around Unity may not be such a good idea, either, now I think of it.

        Nah, Legba isn’t the cursing type. He’s more the “showing you where you’re going, but possibly in an oblique and overly difficult manner” type.

          Unless he’s Legba Carrefour. Then he might try to curse them just to see what happens. Since he’s dog-friendly, I’d go with Papa Legba though – Carrefour is more affiliated with roosters.
