    It sounds reasonable, but what about the boring errand-type stuff you need to get a cult going?

      Meh, it saves time in the long run.

    Plus, if you get enough you can get them to re-enact the battle of Hoth in your backyard. Hell of a drain on numbers, but worth it!

    The problem is, cults rely on isolation to control their members. You can get a lot of work out of a cult if you stick them out in the boondocks on farm but once you start sending them around a city to pickup your dry cleaning, you’d start to loose control.

    Plus, you can’t let anyone wander off alone because you need the constant monitoring and pressure to comform. Usually, cults will not let members leave in groups of less than three.

    I would actually suggest starting a political “activist” group and disquise your errands as part of practical maters of running the group. The innate competative nature of politics triggers automatic cohesive tribalism in people so you don’t have to worry about them wandering off. Plus, you get all the lack of accountablity and tax benefits of a religionous organization without having to conjure up a theology.

    Seems to be all the rage now.

      This is a really informed and specific explanation, Shannon. Should we suspect any personal experience? 🙂

      Wait. Stop. This is all parallel to Adam and us, up to and including the cohesive tribalism and the lack of accountability. The only thing lacking is that Patreon thing, but he promised! Soon, we will… oh damn.

        My Patreon campaign is a comin’. Every weekend I say “This is the weekend I launch!” but something always gets in the way. Hopefully THIS weekend will be the weekend! Fingers crossed.

      Yeah…hm.

      Maybe you could set it up as an “ironic cult.” Say that nobody has to join, everybody knows that it’s total BS, and the leader gets money and devotion ANYWAY.

      (We pretend to try to keep this a secret…but don’t give a shit if people reveal it. We just say, “Devoted members: please do not reveal.”)

      Then if it gets big enough–front corporations, recognized as a legitimate religion, etc.–we initiate the mutually ensured destruction of our own cult and $cientology. For the lulz.

    The cult leader in panel 2 looks like Emperor Palpatine.

    Why do cult bugs wear robes? I agree with Tyrion Lannister. Where’s the God of Tits and Wine? I’ll settle for a Cult of Tits and Wine.

        Ah yes. Now it’s a mansion where young girls live with their great grandfather. Is Playboy still published?
