Soup the Comic Strip by Alun Clewe
Comic strip for September 28 2023.
PANEL ONE: Erlak follows Drv'dxx's gesture as Drv'dxx points across the bar to a table where the storm god Thrumger and the grain goddess Conniff sit together. DRV'DXX: Really, Erlak, I'm not lying to you this time. Look. They're right over there. ERLAK: Oh, no. I'm too late. PANEL TWO: Close on Drv'dxx. DRV'DXX: Hey, Erlak, look on the bright side. You're such a wimp that you never really would have asked her out anyway, and you're such a pathetic loser of a god that even if you had she would have just turned you down. PANEL THREE: Erlak stares forward disconsolately. PANEL FOUR: Erlak puts his head down, holding his hands to his temple, as Drv'dxx looks on. ERLAK: That isn't really much of a bright side, Drv'dxx. DRV'DXX: Well, now that I can't rain destruction over countrysides anymore, I take my evil where I can get it.

Okay, the punch line of this strip is... basically playing off the same general idea as the punch line of yesterday's strip. And, let's face it, at least half of the strips Drv'dxx appears in.
