whats-new-under-tonatiuh: Aside from eating it, the Aztecs threaded popcorn on strings for decorations and used to make it by heating dried maize with sand, so I thought it would be a nice idea to make a WNUT strip featuring delicious popcorn… and the introduction to a few more gods! Being the sun god, Tonatiuh gets a little hotter than others when his cheeks are burning, not to mention the fact that having the fire of the sun in you is going to make things a little sticky if you’re carrying a basket of popping corn! The two lovely ladies are Tezcatlipoca’s wives of which he had 4 in total, the sexy bastard! Chicomecoatl, also known by the name of Xilonen when dealing with unripened corn, was the Aztec corn goddess, and said to be Tezcatlipoca’s favourite wife… I gave her a slightly cheeky side, not to mention the fact that if it’s fun, she will do exactly what Tezca wishes. The second goddess in this strip is Tlaloc’s older sister, Huixtocihuatl, who was the goddess of salt. It is said that she was granted power over salt water when the Tlalocs tried to drown her… that must have been some family squabble! Huixto will not put up with anyone’s crap, which must prove to be a mighty challenge seen as she is married to Tezca… the ultimate troll of the Aztec pantheon. Hope you like it! Since it’s difficult to read it on here, I recommend checking it out on my DA where you can find it here! -- source link
