The statue itself is not a god, but it is a channel – an avatar – through which Ganesh can work. So the line between statue and Ganesh can get pretty blurred during some conversations.
“I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it! In about thirty to sixty years, give or take… thirty to sixty years. I am not a smiting god.”
Nooo, BunnyRock! If not for the colon, the omission of the joke wouldn’t have been a tenth as obsession-inciting!

Neither is Marine Corps policy.”
And although I turned Mark Antony’s comment into a joke aimed at the US congress, please take it on board that I respect the US congress exactly as much as I respect Parliament. More, in fact. A lot more.
I would list other organisations I respect more than parliament, but unfortunately I don’t want to crash the internet. Besides, the expense scandal in the UK last year revolved around a duck-house: they are in league with my one-time gaolers!
I suspect I’d be a rather bad god, because “Because I am a god and I say so” would cross these lips a LOT, especially to buggers like Jhalm.
Don’t be too hard on Jhalm–it can’t be easy to be in a position where you get to tell a God you answer to a higher power…
Always good to know which haystack you’re looking in.
Wow. Petitioning the gods, it seems, is much like petitioning Congress.
They have the haystack, they know which needle…… Now all they need is a magnet.
No, gods forgive. And are usually infallible.
Unless they are ancient Mediterranean gods, drunken, amorous out of control lunatics…
….
You may have a point.
Hah! I just remembered that old US marine joke:
Didn’t the statue make a point of the fact that it wasn’t a god in the early pages of this comic?

Ganesh is an avatar of Ganesha, I would assume.
…
Or ya could look at it like Jesus. Both a god, and not a god, depending
on who ya ask, when…..
Too much Mythbusters….
thisfox: or a tub full of water and some paddlewheels to agitate it. And most of a day.
Sorry! Could NOT help that.
aaah! BunnyRock, you didn’t finish the joke! Now I’ll be sitting here all day wondering…
To HECK with searching, break out the flamethrowers! That’ll save you a LOT of time, once you start sifting through the ashes.
