31 “Goofy” Comics About How Gods Deal With Everyday Problems
Interview With Artist
Gods have been the explanation for everything that is happening in our world from the beginning of time. And we know of these Greek, Roman, Indian, Egyptian, Christian, Islamic, and other gods because they were such big parts of people’s lives that they were immortalized in various writings. And they still to this day are inspiration for contemporary creators.
For example, the Instagram account Goofy Gods Comics portrays the gods in a completely different way than we are used to seeing them. These gods are silly, goofy, and funny with Zeus discovering the Mario games and Hades finally going on a date with Persephone, with the stories sometimes having references to modern-day culture.

Should I be the guy who points out that the whole hell and torment business is a Christian idea and nothing to do with the Ancient Greek idea of Hades?

The Greeks had the Fields of Punishment, which served a similar function to the Christian hell as a punishment for the wicked.

The first one was only created to throw balls for the second one and to feed it and take care of it..
Goofy Gods Comics is an account shared by two friends that try to provide us with funny comics once a week or whenever they can. The Instagram account’s first post was published on August 15, 2019 and in May of the following year, it hit 200k followers. They didn’t stop growing and now they’re almost at 300k followers. Their posts get anywhere from 20k to 170k likes with positive reactions in the comics.
They told Bored Panda that the two best friends met in high school and thought that it would be cool to create comics together about a year ago. "We had tons of ideas, but both love mythology so we wanted to give it a go."

I loved the Greek gods growing up. My favorites are hades and Persephone. I always felt hades was misunderstood

I agree Hades is sooo misunderstood, Zeus just gave him the title of King of the Underworld, Hades had no say in the situation whatsoever

I love it when Death is actually a gentle soul who just helps people move on to their next lives/afterlife. Diskworld Death once explained he is not the one who actually kills, he’s just there to assist people get to what’s next for them.

Hades has been misunderstood by a lot of people. This is why I have a soft spot for him. He's trying so hard and doing his job.

Hehehe here is a life story. Voldemort marries medusa, and they have the ugliest (and meanest) baby in the world. Then the kid gets orphaned bc harry potter kills Voldy and Medusa gets murdered by some guy. The end.
Bored Panda noticed these artists not long after they started their Instagram account. But since then, they’ve came a long way and created even more comics, so we are making a follow-up article so that even more people can get to enjoy their work.

In the comics, the reoccurring characters are Zeus, the god of sky and thunder who rules other gods. Then there’s also Hades, the god of the dead and the king of the underworld. He is inseparable from his three-headed dog Cerberus, who is called Cerbie in the comics.
Goofy Gods Comics not only creates short comics, but their audience is also involved in a mini-series. Recently, we found out if Hades finally got the courage to ask Persephone on a date and if she agreed to it.

Demeter would be against her dating hades. Demeter went insane when Persephone was in the the Underworld, so she had to return half of the year.

One thing I wish to point out (mainly to Ryan Deshcanel) gods do not have DNA since they are superior beings they were birthed by the same deity but they don't share blood or relation that isn't chosen by them to be recognized as a relation. Since they don't have blood and instead they have ichor which is a substance without any DNA they aren't technically related. Get got son.

Ancient gods often intermingled indiscriminately; humans, animals, vegetables, minerals, other gods, etc.

i think this somewhat makes up for how bad the movies where... not quite but its a start
"At first it was mostly just 1-off jokes, but after a while we decided to do full stories spreading over multiple comics. That’s why we created Cerbie, and then the Persephone/Hades story."

In the original story (before it was edited to scare girls) she is just la de da ing and finds entrance to underworld and decides to stay, her name used to be Kore (little girl) and Zeus changed it to Persephone (bringer of chaos) bc she wouldn’t leave and he had to intervene bc Demeter was throwing the tantrum of tantrums

To me, Hades was always the least horrible one. Not a murderer, not a curse caster, not a paedophile, not a rapist (unlike most if his relatives)... just a guy who lives his life, does his job, takes care of the Dead and even agrees on letting a guy resurect his girfriend just because he is a sensitive person who was touched by his music although it is against the laws of nature. Seriously, this guy is the sweetest. He deserved more temples.

He also let Hercules take Cerberus back with him on one of his tasks with safe passage back to the mortal realm as long as he didn't physically harm his dog and didn't use any weapons to subdue him.

These are not only funny, but well drawn as well. So many comics these days seem to be drawn with minimal artistic talent or skill. (do you miss Calvin and Hobbes, too?) Plus they may encourage people to learn more about Greek myths.
