...why can't LIFE ressurect the lemming. If I had a lemming, it'd be named Pai (pie)...never name pets on an empty stomach.

Shake it like a salt shaker.

Shadow Viper at 12:16AM, Jan. 25, 2007

SHAKE THE CHICKEN! SHAKE THE CHICKEN!

Lonnehart at 11:03PM, Jan. 24, 2007

*quietly sneaks around shaking an undead chicken*

Disgruntledrm at 8:41PM, Jan. 24, 2007

Everyone loves shaking chickens!

doomedd44 at 8:28PM, Jan. 24, 2007

dragonzilla: the symbols rotate around the creature.

ChrisC098 at 7:47PM, Jan. 24, 2007

Sweet

Dragonzilla at 7:31PM, Jan. 24, 2007

Didn't notice this before, but the symbols on the circle by Steve have changed from frame to frame.

Dockworker at 5:47PM, Jan. 24, 2007

wait, magic maker raises a decent point! I've never questioned it before but what exactly does bobby's job entail? *pokes lemming with stick*(yep it's dead)

magickmaker at 4:46PM, Jan. 24, 2007

Wait a sec, can't Bobby just use his powers to bring the thing back to life? He is Life, after all.

mikeytheblackmantis at 2:16PM, Jan. 24, 2007

it's still a damn good looking hat...

Ickus at 1:49PM, Jan. 24, 2007

*snicker* Something is happening...

Eirikr at 1:12PM, Jan. 24, 2007

Didn't he just actually make the corpse bigger? Or is it just the camera angle?

Daemon at 12:59PM, Jan. 24, 2007

Death ressurecting things...that's gotta be a...um...paradox? Yeah, a paradox. If he succeeds, the universe is going to crack open and everyone will turn into eight legged beings who must feed on each other. YAY

Freakeh at 12:58PM, Jan. 24, 2007

Well Voodoo -is- the healing arts... returning life to is healing the body, right? Aww lookit Bobby encouraging Steve like that. XD His expression, pose, and general being is so cute in that last panel.

Hogan at 12:28PM, Jan. 24, 2007

Hmm... *takes notes from Joff's ramblings* :P

CrazyOldwizard at 10:21AM, Jan. 24, 2007

humbachaka humbachaka (classical resurrection dance)

I think I'll just try to clarify things... forgive me if this seems to go against the whole "Bobby is Life" thing.. But Bobby can't do ressurections, or at least not on his own. There's three parties who decide if something can ressurect. Steve, as Death would have to choose to let the lemming return to life, and Bobby would have to manage the fiddly bits of reattaching life energy. Then there is the thing being ressurected. The little ceremony is all being done to coax the lemming's spirit back into that fluffy ball on the table :). In each of their handbooks they have a ritual for ressurections.. Bobby's involves a few candles and much less Voodoo.. *re-reads my explanation* Wow, that almost sound's like I know what I'm talking about..
