Description
And here is this week's latest issue of 'What's New Under Tonatiuh?' ... which surprisingly enough does not feature the sun god! Introducing the Tlaloques, Tlaloc's very own midget minions!
Opochtli of the North 
Nappatecuhtli of the East 
Tomiyauhtecuhtli of the South
Yauhqueme of the West Kudos to anyone who peeks at the wall painting of Tlaloc in the first picture.
And now translated for your viewing pleasure into Spanish! fav.me/d7957wc

And the moral of the story: Ponder well before you rebel! XD

I have a world mythology book that mentions Tlaloc having 4 jars of water that do some serious stuff, but I could never verify where they got the idea from.Β Now I guess I know the basis for that.

Yes! The Mesoamericans had their religion very centered around the concept of 4 cardinal directions and drawing on this power was used in many rituals. There are also more significant gods attributed to the directions, and day signs. North was Tezcatlipoca, always with the colour black, East is Tonatiuh with the colour red, South was Huitzilopochtli with the colour blue, and west was Quetzalcoatl with the colour white. But the Aztecs also had a fifth direction, at the centre... the heart of the world where the underworld and the earth and the sky met. The concept of 4 cardinal directions pops up in many of the creation stories. : 3

I was reffering to the Tlaloques scooping up water in jars and then dumping it back down.Β The book mentions that Tlaloc had 4 magical jars.Β The first made plants grow, the second made plants wither, the thrid sent out frost, and the fourth sent out obliteration.Β I have yet to find anything else that comes close to that, aside from the Tlaloques playing ferry duty with jars.

Hehehe, I'm so glad you liked the comic! XD
They're so cute and freaky, aren't they? But Tlaloc loves them and they love him, even if there is strain between them at times!

"Special Rainbow Lollipops"? Are you implying something there or? xD
π: 0 β©: 1
Hahahahah!! No, there is nothing implied, do not worry!! I just thought rainbow lollipops sounded a little more exciting and rain deity associated than ordinary ones! What goes on between the tlaloques is currently their business! Ppffffftttt!! I actually didn't think about it in that way when I added that and this has most certainly made me chuckle!

Haha, the reason I even said that is I remember when I was in high school, there was this trend at mall store called Spencers of selling rainbow cock lollipops, probably to bring gay awareness or something, but I remember seeing them all the time so of course the first thing I think of when I see the words "rainbow lollipop" are those. xDΒ

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh dear... No, no, I can safely say that Tlaloc is not giving his minion cocked shaped rainbow lolliopos! <:"D I am laughing so hard at these images now! Oh dear..! You have also infected me with that thought now!

ahahahaah, oh dear, Tlaloc lazy? well my Tlaloc worck really hard..... but not for now.
great page

He's not really as lazy as this comic makes out him to be, but I always got the impression that the Tlaloques worked so hard, so I wanted to make a comic from their slightly warped perspective. XD Of course I'll show him working hard later, do not worry!
Thank you so much! ^v^

OMG THIS COMIC IS HILARIOUS AND OF COURSE TLALOC WOULD WATCH A LOT OF TV! I BET HE IS ONE OF THOSE TYPES OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD WATCH REALITY TV SHOWS XD!

THANK YOU!! Yaaaay, you noticed! X"D Tlaloc is such a lazy bum, I have to say - a geeky lazy bum because he's also reading a book while watching his satellite TV. Life is good for Tlaloc in Tlalocan!

Ahhhh... if only! They are poor little buggers though, but ultimately Tlaloc loves them and the Tlaloques love Tlaloc.
