I need you to read this

In order to understand the "science" side of the Micturating Angel, I need you to be familiar with (but not necessarily understand because who the hell actually does)

PATAPHYSICS.

So click this >>LINK<<.

"My eyes are 7.8055% more seductive than yours."

But why is she pissing? (Pt2)

It is difficult to fully verbalise the thoughts that go into making this comic - it's why I make pictures, they capture what I want to say with precise dream-scalpel-incision ambiguity.
Like a diamond made of jelly.
Anyways, why is the angel micturating?
Other than the fact that I think "micturating" is a hilarious and terrible sounding word, behold Exhibit A: Albrecht Dürer's Crucifixion (1489).

"That's gonna leave a mark..."

I love Dürer's work.
Now, what are those two rascal angels doing on either side of the cross?
DO YOU SEE?

Exhibit B, Gaahl, former vocalist of black metal band Gorgoroth:

How NOT to eat Black Forest cake...

A few years back, Gaahl (know your metal: click HERE) beat the bejeezus out of someone in his home, who later testified that our hero collected his blood in a cup. Gaahl said he was just trying to protect his rug from the bleeding (which makes him a nasty Lebowski - that rhymes!)

Now, imagine you're being beaten to death by Gaahl, who seems to be enjoying his handywork. You're trapped. He's belting your face. Your bleeding enough FROM YOUR FACE that he gets a cup and starts collecting your blood. WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?!! What's he gonna do with that?!!

OR.
You're on a cross, dying. You've been imprisoned, beaten, humiliated and now you're dying a painful death, in public. And someone's there to collect your blood. Not to help, but to collect your blood and later even worship the vessel used. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?!!!

Primitive blood sacrifices (hey, have you heard of my black metal band, Easter yet?)

I said primitive blood sacrifices have been around since forever. "The blood is the life!" Why? It's amazingly red and without it living things die. (Human thinking is very simple in many ways.) The Bible is full of instructions on how to do it and how much God loves to drink blood and smell burning flesh/ fat, and whilst it's a global phenomenon, we shall focus on Judeo-Christianity. The Angel is a sort of mockery or challenge of that tradition: it is her recycled blood that is sought after and captured for whatever religious purpose. It is her waste that is holy and beneficial and helps transcendence to divinity (or at least to being blessed. There are many philosophies that will tell you that true enlightenment comes from debasement or from contact with the lowest of the low. Hell, Buddha loved the lotus flower for it was a thing of beauty growing from shit and muck. Even my lecturer at Uni summed up life as "from shit flowers grow". Well our Angel will skip the mudplay and we shall stick with recycled blood. Blessing from below, eh wot?

But why is she pissing?

Let's get to the nitty-gritty about this comic that seems to kick most people about the teeth:

micturation = pissing.

Ergo, the title of this comic is The Pissing Angel.

BUT WHYYYYYY?!!!

Truth be told the title came to me years ago, when I made the original booklet this series is sort of based on (see blog post HERE ).

It just jumped into my head. I just like the sound of it. I don't even know where I learned the damn word and that's important to mention: English is a second language to me, I learnt it when I came to Australia in 1986. I was 11.

There are words I like in English purely for the sound of it, and I guess "micturating" / "micturation" is one. If you think about it, it's a wonderfully 'hard' word, a lot of consonants for an action involving fluids, ie: softs. The word almost doesn't fit, at least "piss" sounds like the deed.

Next. I grew up around hospitals/ medical equipment, so I dig medical terms.

Next. No I don't get off on chicks pissing.

Next. Pissing Angels are actually quiet common in Europe (where I'm from). You'll see them weeing in fountains, as little statues at home, as soda water dispensers, etc. My grandparents had one and I was very intrigued by the concept of a cherub/ angel (a supposedly holy critter) taking a piss - something seen as "rude"/ vulgar - yet this was supposed to be an object of humour!

" I'ma put muh dik on yo' drinkin' water!"

It's important to realise that this comic is not to be taken seriously, btw, or not TOO seriously.

Lastly, as explained in Issue #1: there's the religious connection with blood, blood-letting, blood-sacrifice, blood of Christ, bleeding Christ (in some depictions he looks like he's pissing from his ribs, hahaha!), and so on. Our Angel uses second-hand blood, ie: piss to baptise or whatever it is she uses it for.

It's important for her to do this as she is The Outsider and therefore must shock. She can not make friends with "nice", but must rock their world in order to open their eyes.

And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry...

But maybe you need to be offended

But here's my apology and one more thing...fuck you!

"Can't Bring Me Down" - Suicidal Tendencies

And so on and so forth.

Any questions?
