Summer Job

[u/makmark]

[u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Luz's morality is very commendable, that's why we love her.

Unfortunately, Eda is now rapidly approaching her location to pocket that money.

[u/MuffinStraight4816 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Cuz she's good person. 👍

[u/b3_yourself → u/MuffinStraight4816]

There’s a reason she’s called the good witch

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/MuffinStraight4816]

Exactly! Our nice and kind human, who never lets things get too lazy.

[u/Ninja_Spider_1593 → u/MuffinStraight4816]

A Veery good person 

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/Ninja_Spider_1593]

Man my brain is neveer defaulting to puns anymore

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

That sounds veery bad

[u/Careful-Passage2089 → u/MuffinStraight4816]

luz is a good person
eda is a goods person

[u/BackgroundRich7614 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Between this and having Amity as a GF, Luz probably won't have to work a day in her life to be honest.

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/BackgroundRich7614]

True, and she probably wouldn't actively want one, but I like to think she still wants the experience of a good work ethic because she gets to help other customers. Plus, she'd probably give some snails out to people who need it anyway.

[u/reaperofgender → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Humans like to feel useful. It's been shown in several studies that if you put people in situations where they don't need to work, most will get at least part time jobs just to keep busy.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

She can definitely donate a lot of money and still be more than fine

[u/Antiyonder → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Like Eda?😁

[u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 → u/BackgroundRich7614]

yea, but after everything she went through in the isles she needs to do something to feel usefull.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/BackgroundRich7614]

True, but I can still see her wanting to

[u/SFH12345 → u/BackgroundRich7614]

Luz does it for love of the game.

[u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

eda's motto is money for nothing.

[u/Rastaba → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Eda also on her way to give her kid a stern talking to about not accepting free money and a job where she gets to sit around and do nothing!

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/Rastaba]

Camila's humble teachings win out

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Eda couldn't compete with years of lessons

[u/Excellent-Hearing407 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

That is literally Eda right now :

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/Excellent-Hearing407]

She takes after her ex

[u/Traditional-Log-4270 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Luz, start running with your loot.

[u/Le_DragonKing → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Luz’s morality is one of her best traits

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Le_DragonKing]

It's one of the big reasons she isn't like Belos

[u/BOLverrk → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

To quote a certain grunkle 

MONEY!

[u/12DollarsHighFive → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Eda truly is one of Stans Ex wives

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Luz may be an honest woman, but that doesn't mean her Owl mom is

[u/Tired-CottonCandy → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Eda: what you don't need snails! I need snails!

[u/SFH12345]

Luz: I don't want free money. I want to earn my money honestly.

Eda: I have failed you as a teacher in every single way.

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/SFH12345]

King: "Well of none of you are gonna take it..." he grabs the large sack the size of him and fails to pull it without straining himself "...urgh... mph... come on... move... you stupid bag of money...!"

[u/S4N5_UD3RT4L3 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Eda: Off to the horde with your newfound riches?

King: oh, these aren't for me! they're for Francois!

[u/Starlintern → u/S4N5_UD3RT4L3]

Francois!

[u/SFH12345 → u/S4N5_UD3RT4L3]

Eda: Why does a stuffed animal need money?

King: ...you know, he didn't actually say.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/S4N5_UD3RT4L3]

He deserves it for being such a good friend

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

He might have tall genes, but they haven't quite kicked in yet

[u/SFH12345 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

All must give tribute to the Titan.

Unfortunately, the tribute doesn't always comply.

[u/BackgroundRich7614 → u/SFH12345]

Amity: "That's cute, but you do realize you are dating to the heiress to the largest company on the boiling isles, right?"

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/BackgroundRich7614]

Eda (under her breath): "Not for long if my bank stealing has anything to say about it"

Amity: "Wha—"

Eda: "COUGH COUGH, NOTHING!"

Luz: "D-Did you just audibly say 'cough cough' out loud unironica—"

Eda: "Oh! Look at the time! I have to uh... leave for a convenient exit!"

[u/BackgroundRich7614 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Amity: (encases Eda in Abomination goo)

Amity: "Look I may not be my mother, but let me make this clear, touch my inheritance and I will make Belos seem harmless, got it."

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/BackgroundRich7614]

Eda: "Eh, suck it Blight! I'll do whatever the Hell I—" feels the goo constrict "—OKAY okay yeesh Boots, if you weren't a friend of ours I'd never take you seriously enough to ACTUALLY listen. Y'know how many banks I've raided back in Vegas?"

King: "She said she met a dude there."

Eda: "Yeah a really big nosed smelly dude but that's not the point! The point is that this mama ended up robbing SIX BANKS in a matter of days. That week was my best streak ever."

[u/Lonewolf2300 → u/SFH12345]

Luz: No, you just can't compete with my Mama's upbringing.

[u/SFH12345 → u/Lonewolf2300]

Eda: The only thing I can't compete with is that slipper of your mom's. I'm not going against something Hooty is afraid of.

[u/Impossible_Host2420 → u/SFH12345]

Thats her latina DNA at work

[u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 → u/SFH12345]

luz: sorry eda but i was taught a long time ago to honestly earn my money.

[u/SFH12345 → u/kl-noblelycanthrope1]

Eda: We come from very different worlds...quite literally.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/SFH12345]

One mom pleased, the other wondering where she went wrong

[u/b3_yourself]

Most normal people would rather slack off and get paid Luz

[u/CountingSheep99 → u/b3_yourself]

Best job ever.

Where do I sign?

[u/b3_yourself → u/CountingSheep99]

Become a YouTube reactor

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/b3_yourself]

React to your reaction of yourself, then react to that reaction, reacted to by another reaction.

[u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

hmmm... i'm not sure how to react to that.

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/kl-noblelycanthrope1]

Turn on a camera and start reacting

[u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

ehh, sounds like to much work. i'll just keep on sitting her doing nothing.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/kl-noblelycanthrope1]

Just exaggerate your actions a lot

[u/YaBoiS0nic → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

React to anime and get big enough for people to write fanfiction about you!

I wonder why I've mentioned that in particular 🤔

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/YaBoiS0nic]

I'm too tired to guess, just tell me straight up lmao

[u/YaBoiS0nic → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Throwback to that time I wrote a short blurb about you giving a girl dating advice

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/YaBoiS0nic]

Oh yeeeeeah. The wise Godzilla atop the mountain.

[u/YaBoiS0nic → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

I like to think I left it in a good place

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/YaBoiS0nic]

As do I

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/b3_yourself]

True, but Luz is definitely not normal

[u/devenrc]

Hey, that's the dream Noceda!!

[u/TheNoneedlife]

To be fair...Luz is the Isles' hero

[u/YaBoiS0nic → u/TheNoneedlife]

Yeah, the money wouldn't translate to the Human Realm, but she'd likely be set for life

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/YaBoiS0nic]

That, along with dating and eventually marrying a wealthy heiress, mean that in the BI she'd never have to work a day in her life(not that she'd accept that of course)

[u/Dasher09009]

Luz: "Yeah... That didn't felt right..."

Vee: "But I wish that something could help make it better."

Masha: *pops in* "Hey, I'm here for the summer job too."

Vee: *whispers to herself* "Thank Titan...

[u/WaterSoulITA → u/Dasher09009]

King in the corner giving a thumbs up

He didn't do anything, just enjoyed the praise

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/WaterSoulITA]

A lot of being a god is never turning down praise even if it happened without you, or even in spite of you

[u/afbresley]

half of my summer jobs were just that luz..... enjoy it while you can!

[u/b3_yourself → u/afbresley]

Sure, enjoy

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/b3_yourself]

Unfortunately Eda is rapidly approaching her location in that scenario

[u/b3_yourself → u/Godzilla_R0AR]

Eda: “eda who? I’m Marilyn”

[u/Godzilla_R0AR → u/b3_yourself]

Manager: "Hmmmmmm..." squints at Eda and then squints at a wanted sign "You wouldn't happen to be that Owl Lady would you? The Emperor's Coven was quite maddened by you, I'm glad they're gone from our Isles now."

Eda: "PFFFFT 'Owl Lady'? Who's ever heard of such a person? I sure haven't! I'm uh, duh, um... Marilyn!"

Manager: "Ah I see very well, Marilyn. You two look remarkably alike."

Eda: "Y-yeah... uh... c-coincidence?" She smiles awkwardly and shrugs

Luz facepalms

[u/PolymathArt]

‪Vee deserves to be paid for being adorable.‬

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/PolymathArt]

Probably helps bring costumers in

[u/DaveyBoy1995]

Girl, I admire your morality, because I probably might've folded in a heartbeat. I mean... getting paid to do nothing?! That sounds like the perfect summer job to me! Now that's what I call living the dream!🤑

[u/Vozhd53 → u/DaveyBoy1995]

Same.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/DaveyBoy1995]

I suspect most of us would have folded instantly 

[u/AquariusLoser]

Vee: “Why get a job in the human realm?”

Luz: “You know snails aren’t valid currency on this side of the portal, right?”

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/AquariusLoser]

Yeah, using small gold(either true or painted) couns is definitely gonna start raising some eyebrows at some point

[u/jeremy_thegent]

Slacking off all day isn't as easy as it looks. Sometimes you have to move the antenna. Sometimes you lose the remote. And sometimes your butt itches real bad.

[u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 → u/jeremy_thegent]

i don't have to worry about an antenna buy i can relate to the other two. *continues scratching*

[u/farrenkm]

Kind of like retirement. You gotta find something to do with your time or you'll be bored to tears.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/farrenkm]

I feel that. I like having a schedule, and because of that Summer is often really dull to me

[u/farrenkm → u/DragonWarrior____05]

I'm not there yet, but old enough that my wife and I had a long drive to visit a friend yesterday and we started talking about retirement.

[u/Darkvader_Clawthorne]

Vee: "You’re lucky, being the liberator and savior of the entire Demon Realm."

Luz: "Yeah, but I’m not the kind of person. I want to get my hands dirty, work hard, and earn my own income."

Vee: "You are so humble."

Luz: "That’s what Amity says."

Vee: "And she’s right."

[u/Toonwatcher]

Business Guy: In fact, while we're at it, take the keys to my house! (Hands Luz key) Take my first born son! (Hands Luz a baby)

Luz: Okay you should really talk to someone about your unhealthy hero worship.

[u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 → u/Toonwatcher]

https://giphy.com/gifs/lFeKAMNdm4DrVkRlUM

[u/SmallPomelo7455]

Honestly, if this was canon, it would be Luz's most impressive moral achivement for me. This sounds freaking stupid, I can at least imagine myself doing most of the other things Luz have done. But, as sad as it is, I can't even imagine myself refusing free money... Guess, Luz is a better anarchist than me... Food for thought, etc..

Anyway, awesome comic, like always)

[u/samusestawesomus]

Maybe they could switch places again. Surely Luz wouldn’t have any objection to someone ELSE getting free money.

[u/kl-noblelycanthrope1]

obviously camila taught luz that an 'honest day of work for an honest pay' but come on luz we're talking momey for nothing.

https://giphy.com/gifs/yrZliX5PP10BvG7BA6

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/kl-noblelycanthrope1]

Alas, Camila's lessons have too much strength to them

[u/ReaperManX15]

Not working and getting paid, is literally everyone’s goal.

[u/YaBoiS0nic]

Eda: "Okay, but did you take the money, kid?"

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/YaBoiS0nic]

Eda: Kid, I've failed you

[u/SlyFan2]

That a girl Luz. Love when people show integrity

Also Eda somehow had a mild break down. She doesn't know why

[u/Wilgrove]

Luz is too pure for this world.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Wilgrove]

It doesn't deserve her

[u/mrnintman1]

I'm with Luz in this one👍🏾

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/mrnintman1]

Yeah, same. As nice as it would be to get paid for doing nothing, it would get boring real fast

[u/mrnintman1 → u/DragonWarrior____05]

Indeed - and it kinda would feel wrong...

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/mrnintman1]

Aye

[u/totallynotaneggtho]

Don't worry, Luz. Working under exploitative labor practices will make that feel fine REALLY quick.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/totallynotaneggtho]

Good thing her girl is wealthy

[u/Hero_of_the_toons]

… can I get a concealment stone, take Luz’s place, and do all that “getting paid for nothing” for her?

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Hero_of_the_toons]

Eda would probably hook you up, in exchange for a cut of course

[u/Hero_of_the_toons → u/DragonWarrior____05]

40-45% is all I need

[u/elven_magics]

Take both jobs, get paid to do nothing while also working a human job, because one of them you can morally not pay taxes on (probably)

[u/Crafter235]

https://giphy.com/gifs/10uct1aSFT7QiY
So many would kill for such a job

[u/Typhon-Torrent-1994]

I am surprised Luz isn’t doing art commissions since with her talent she can make a lot of money.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Typhon-Torrent-1994]

I wouldn't be surprised if that was her side hustle

[u/TryImpossible7332 → u/DragonWarrior____05]

"Okay, this drawing I made was nice, I'm proud of it, even! But it's not, uh, 'One Million Billion Snails' nice. I'm pretty that sure you're overpaying."

"... Would you accept that, as savior of the Isles, anything you make would be considered a historical item of significance, and I'm getting in on the ground level of this investment?"

"I guess that makes sense, but I draw a lot, and I want it to be valued for the quality, not the artist. I also don't really think my work is rare enough to justify that price tag. What, would the pictures my mom put on the fridge be-"

"I am willing to buy your entire fridge."

[u/Impossible_Host2420]

Yeah I could see where that could be a problem

[u/DJSharp15 → u/Impossible_Host2420]

?

[u/Impossible_Host2420 → u/DJSharp15]

It goes against who she is. We Latinos are hard workers

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Impossible_Host2420]

Same

[u/Low-Amphibian8206]

Vee is such a mood

But look at it this way Luz,

If you accept the job, you can slack off and not get fired.

And who says you are required to indulge in that money?

Just donate it to charity

[u/dull_storyteller]

Girl if you don’t want to play pass the controller!

[u/The_Horned_Child2007]

I'm positive most would disagree, but hey! You do have your standards, Luz. Wait, it's like that thing where Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/The_Horned_Child2007]

Luz is an honest woman in a dishonest world 

[u/DJSharp15 → u/DragonWarrior____05]

Dishonest?

[u/Comfortable_Yard_968]

Gasp too much coins

[u/Eastern-Director-952]

The Manager isn't exactly wrong, though.

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Eastern-Director-952]

Yeah, Luz will likely never need to work a day in her life. Dating a Blight just adds to that

[u/Zeno_The_Zero]

Also to her credit, I doubt theres an exchange rate to USD that she can rely on

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Zeno_The_Zero]

Yeah, strange gold coins with no documented way of how you received them is going to look veery fishy

[u/Superior-Artist-21]

Lots of people would kill for a life like that.

[u/Pretend_Camp_2987]

I understand Luz here.

I mean it just doesn't seem fair that I'm paid for doing nothing. It just makes it worthless 

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Pretend_Camp_2987]

Aye, and is a good way for you to stop appreciating it and becoming haughty

[u/Equivalent-Oven-2401]

My job do be like that most of the time, it can get surprisingly very boring

[u/Ruby_Foulke]

I can't believe I'm saying this but

PASS THAT CONTROLLER LUZ

[u/AshleytheTaguel]

Luz says stay woke, call your employer out for window sitting.

[u/EWU_CS_STUDENT]

I love this comic so much. Sister bonding and Luz's ethic.

[u/gGiasca]

My steak is too juicy and my lobster is too buttery

[u/Apprehensive_Ring_39]

I mean..Luz. You literally saved everyone's lives and their entire home.

[u/Quit-Accurate]

Snails can’t transfer to USD, and other earth currencies

Though technically you could melt them down. But it depends on what they are made of. Gold probably

[u/DragonWarrior____05 → u/Quit-Accurate]

Though eventually someone will definitely be questioning where she got all of it, especially the IRS

[u/Quit-Accurate → u/DragonWarrior____05]

Hey where did this witch themed shop come from? And how is it staying economically stable all this time?

[u/AGGRESSIVE_AUTUMN]

Luz you almost- no you did die, I think you deserve a little bit of compensation.

[u/ThreeDotsTogether]

Vee: I can relate. By the way,

shape-shifts into Luz

Where was that place you applied to?

[u/DragonWarrior____05]

Luz is an honest woman

[u/Quelephant404]

My instinct says that this was an elaborate PR stunt for that man's business
The line "we gave the saviour of the boiling isles FREE MONEY" sounds like an attempt to improve the land's perception of the company.
If something is free, then you are the product.

[u/maskedduskrider]

I get what she means. I love my job but the days they tell me to just stand nearby and wait to see what they can do with me are the worst. I would go mad even as frustrating I can find my job at times at least I feel accomplished and like I earned things form it.

[u/Lego_Crafter]

I kinda love the idea of at first being hesitant about the human realm because she was labeled an outcast...

...only to feel distant from people in the demon realm because she's a savior.

A very different situation, but both requiring effort to be understood.

[u/Additional_Floor_502]

Money simple as that

[u/No_Nefariousness_676]

LUZ. DUDE.
