I suppose I’ll be the one to mention that the story of Moses was actually written before the bible and had no mention of any one called ‘Moses’. A few hundred years before it was originally written, (the one without mention of Moses)

A volcanic eruption happened between 1500-1650BC. This changed the pH of the water as the ash and such. This caused a red algae plume to grow (colour looks like blood).

This then caused the oxygen in the water to decrease, killing fish (which can eat frog eggs) and causing the eggs to hatch to quickly develope into frogs (A survival trait means that in harsh conditions, they’ll develope more rapidly).

Increase in frogs mean less frog food, and they quickly die due to starvation. Dead frogs brings means no predators of flies. The few flies, fleas, gnats and lice then breed quickly, without the frogs to keep the population down, causing a swarm.

The flies can leave boils due to their bites.

The hail and fire are caused by the eruption of the volcano. Ash in the air causes a mixture of ash and water. The ash, very high in the air, causes the water to freeze so when it falls it is hail and not rain. It also can (and has in the past) cause lots of thunderstorms. The red lightning (red due to chemicals in the air) can quite easily cause fires and be seen as fire.

Locusts bury their eggs deep within the sand. The melted hail provide more than enough water to hatch them all.

Darkness is caused by the ash in the air as it blocks out the sun.

When food is scarce, the first born eats first. Food that is rotten by now, or poisoned by eating things covered in the fallen ash (from hail or otherwise) is eated by the child. Hence, they tended to die from sickness.

While these events would have taken more than a day, it was passed down for a couple of hundred years before it was written down, so things got changed slightly. Then years later, it appeared in the bible, with mention of a messaih named Moses.

…. I’ll go now…

It’s for the best, otherwise we’d have to explain that the Egyptians didn’t use slaves to build them, either, and then there’s not a whole lot to be funny with.

Ummm… Not in the Bible. Just a modern tradition. Works (extremely well) for the strip. Let it go….

Well, that’s what you get for believing those stories in the Bible. XD

Today definitely ranks up there with the greats. The animation, the timing, the references, versatility, anachronism… Perfecto. And BTW all nitpickers, coming from a history major: epic comedy trumps historicity. Let it go.

Thing about that is.. Slaves where the employees of the day. You were either royalty, warrior, priest or slave.

Now a “well paid” slave just had a cushy job in a wealthy house, but he was still a slave. If it was aliens, then well they weren’t.. But they most defiantly did not “just ask nice” even though it’s much funnier this way

I think that’s my favorite gesture to draw.
