Is Roy a worshiper of Giggles, God of Slapstick?
In Comic 271, Roy suggests hitting Banjo over the head With a Blunt Object
Is his general antipathy for Banjo as well as his preferred means for expressing it forshadowing that Roy is a wroshiper of Banjo's rival, Giggles?
I mean, come on, what other POSSIBLE explanation could there be?!

Re: Is Roy a worshiper of Giggles, God of Slapstick?
Roy is either a worshiper of the Northern Pantheon in general, or noncommittal to any specific deity or group of deities. Either way, he doesn't put much stock in the gods.
“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: Is Roy a worshiper of Giggles, God of Slapstick?
Well, Roy IS a future psychic, so it's pretty obvious he would know about Giggles before he first manifested...

Re: Is Roy a worshiper of Giggles, God of Slapstick?
Regarding comic 271:
In the 8th panel of that comic we see the flumph cry 3 tears.
Every living character with hands has 3 fingers.
Roy's crown has 3 points shown.
The wheat in the guys mouth has 6 bristles, 6/2=3.
Bald people in suits with ties appear 9 times. 9/3=3
Bald secondary characters appear 12 times. 12/4=3
2+3+4 from the math above = 9, 9 is divisible by 3
Banjo has 3 buttons on it's robe.
Shojo has 3 segments of clearly white colored facial hair.
3 sets of 3...
HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED.

Re: Is Roy a worshiper of Giggles, God of Slapstick?
Loki doesn't like Hel, and Hel is Thor's rival, so obviously Loki must be a worshiper of Thor.

Re: Is Roy a worshiper of Giggles, God of Slapstick?
slapstick
ˈslapstɪk/
noun
noun: slapstick; plural noun: slapsticks
comedy based on deliberately clumsy actions and humorously embarrassing events.
Of course he is! The first thing he did after regaining his life was to "forget" how to walk. How clumsy. How... convenient... Of course he was conveniently naked, too. Oh, what a humorously embarrassing event...
Obviously, the man's first actions as a living one, are prayers to Giggles, thanking him for his life. Yes, that's how Giggles followers pray. That's how they worship. They stumble down naked (To the keen observer, it is clear that Durkon made sure he'd be naked, respecting his religion). His faith couldn't be more clear if he yelled "PRAISE GIGGLES" as soon as he got resurrected.
Folks, seriously, stop asking questions with obvious answers.

Re: Is Roy a worshiper of Giggles, God of Slapstick?
Now I see what you are saying, but I must point out that, since Roy is a Future Psychic, he knows that Giggles will eventually be annihilated and assimilated into the unstoppable Banjhulu. Roy seems like a smart guy; why would he put his chips on the losing god?

Re: Is Roy a worshiper of Giggles, God of Slapstick?
Either he can't see that far into the future, or it'll come long after he's had his fun, cycled through the afterlife and reincarnated as one of those annoying yappy ankle biters.

Re: Is Roy a worshiper of Giggles, God of Slapstick?
Where in the link does it say that? A direct reading always got me that Banjo could/would become that sort of entity. But hey at least he's the same as Banjo here and that there is potential makes this more semantics/nitpicking over tense anyway. yes I probably put too much thought into this
