You better hope another of those dumb skulls knows how to fire lasers! Cause it’s gonna take more than that to take out Gog Agog, you shorts wearing low rent Galactus!
The far side of the moon is the dark side. Microwaves make food radioactive. The LHC produces black holes endangering us all. Lightning never strikes the same place twice. The blood in your veins is blue. The dinosaurs were killed off by humans. But the J guy’s shorts are quite pretty.
That.. elicits a desire to know less. And yet concurrently fires an intrigue to know more.
Clussy is much nicer a term than Goggavag tho, which was used to be cognate with the ‘hog. Unfortunately a very quick ‘Goggle’ of the webs reveals it tastes like “A strange mix of popcorn, cotton candy and death”. And that it is also a given name.
There’s not any references of extraterrestrial life in the K6BD universe, unless I’m mistaken. So it’s really just the biomass of earth-like planets times however many worlds she devoured. The total biomass of earth is negible when dealing with astronomical measurements so even if there is perfect conversion of all the biomass on each one onto Gog-Agog “small planet” would actually be pretty optimistic of the total mass.
Unless, of course, Gog-agog can convert non-biological things like whole planets and stars. But even then galaxies are crazy big and mostly empty space – filling it with a continuous volume would require that Gog-agog convert all the matter in millions of galaxies to fill it, and I think I might be low balling that.
I did a brief rough mathing out of this just the other day.
The estimated biomass on earth at the moment is ~550 billion tons of carbon. That includes plants, fungi, animals, bacteria etc. In animals carbon is ~10% of wet weight, so we have 5500 billion tons of biomass if we just use that as an average, or roughly 5.3*10^15 kilos of biomass available if we just say it’s all animal level carbon density for the sake of ease and assume gog eats plants, protists, bacteria, etc and perfectly converts them to more worms (She has god magic, so why not).
A quick google placed the density of generic “flesh” at 1000 kilograms per cubic meter, so that would leave us with 5.3×10^12 cubic meters of biomass per world.
At that rate, you’d need 205,718,744 earths worth of biomass to equal the volume of one total earth, which means ~185 habitable planets consumed per universe across 1,111,111 universe just to get one Gog-Earth
I think there could easily be 185 earths in each galaxy, possibly far more due to gates and godlike terraforming. There are, guesstimating, 100-200 billion galaxies per universe, so call it 1.85 trillion earths per universe. 1 trillion to hedge my bets and for nasty galaxies and whatnot.
Multiply that by 1,111,111 and we are talking ~1 Quintillion (10E21?) earths-worth of Gog.
I’m too lazy to do the math but I get the sense that “galaxy” is indeed the right scale.
42 Fragments the Universe Beyond All Reintegration
A recent estimate (from counts in the Hubble deep fields) is 185 billion galaxies in the observable, RL universe. A quintillion is 1e18, not 10e21. There are maybe 1e12 stars in a largish, spiral galaxy. One sun-like star is about 3e5 Earth masses, so 1e18 earth masses is three or so galaxy masses of Gog.
All of which assumes that the Gogable universes are like our RL one, and that the Gogs can only visit the RL-observable, causality-limited bits. Both of which assumptions I doubt.
I think that almost all the KSBD universes are tiny, just enough to host one world with interesting people on it. The multiplicity seem a bit arts-graduate to me, and they’d not be interested in world-building for science’s sake. I suspect that there’s just one universe, Allison’s, where the creator went completely OTT with the world-building just to prove what they could do. That would be Aesma, of course.
So many bonus points for the adjective “Gogable”.
I’m now thinking that Gog uses most of its power to prevent itself from collapsing into a supermassive black hole.
What do you mean by “no reference to etraterrestrial life”? Havent you noticed all those thousands of diferent sentient species all over this comic? What they would be?
Things from other worlds, not others planetes. Could be just multiple version of the same one.
“So it’s really just the biomass of earth-like planets times however many worlds she devoured” mean that you can considere every world similar in size with ours.
In the story world, those are sort of variations on the four life forms (demon, angel, servant, human) that differ based on the whims of the 7,777,777 god who each spun a tale that became a universe. So far, not truly “alien” / thing that doesn’t fit that narrative has been seen.
My personal belief is that it isn’t that there is *no* extraterrestrial life, but rather that none of the demiurges could be bothered to explore the *entire* universe and just assuming that whatever world they step out onto is the only one with or capable of hosting- life in any form.
Interestingly- the lack of extraterrestrial life could be 100% because the demiurges didn’t bother to look *AT ALL* beyond whatever world they end up on or near rather than because it doesn’t exist.
I might be recalling this incorrectly, but I think it has been mentioned that not every gate leads to a world like earth. Some of them are infinite flat earths, or don’t have whole universes beyond the one world or other various things.
42 Fragments the Universe Beyond All Reintegration
We’re on the cusp of finding out whether Gog will finally unleash ultraviolence. But I wonder if first she will grow big enough to look J. in the eye. And maybe then hug him rather than hit him. Or grow bigger still and hug him like a mother, which he’s been needing these last few thousand years.
Definitely more Harlequin than Clown, as per the extra text under the comic. Clown is a simple fool, Harlequin is an astute trickster that can play the fool.
This one page just instantly made me like Gog Agog like a million times more. I mean, she just demonstrated awareness of her recurrent comic relief role, and even if she does it by subsuming the will of her many hosts, she does usually act to make things entertaining on some level for even those who are not her hosts.
Also she took a mouth-beam to the face and instantly recovered, looking hella’ pissed. Go on, crazy worm-lady, kick his multi-faceted ass!
If memory serves, it was Tetsuo who was losing control of his … cellular urges. Akira, or at least his consciousness, was still in that stasis sphere at the time of the orbital laser strike.
Gog-Agog is the only character in the entire series that will fully and truly appreciate you for everything that you are. It will only be for a moment before She devours you, but still. And after? An eternity of ecstasy and mirth.
Hmm…. it is seldom one gets to behold such ire in the queen of worms. Yet i fear it will do little good against the red god. Though Gog Agog cannot do any conventional harm to Jagganoth, i suspect it will be far from conventional.
You better hope another of those dumb skulls knows how to fire lasers! Cause it’s gonna take more than that to take out Gog Agog, you shorts wearing low rent Galactus!
He opened this can of worms, now he must lie in it.
No, one does not lie in a can of worms, one consumes it.
If one is able.
One consumes the worms, or the worms consume one.
First the one, later the other.
Stomach acid gang, where are you at?
could not one use the worms as bait? in which case the one consuming them would be whatever third party they are intended to lure unto capture.
Ah yes. Fish Dimension Allison.
“Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, think I’ll eat some worms”
Nadie me quiere, todos me odian, mejor… ¡Me como un gusanito!
One either consumes the can, or is consumed by the can.
I’ll have you know they’re comfy, and easy to wear!
Light years isn’t time, it measures distance!
The far side of the moon is the dark side. Microwaves make food radioactive. The LHC produces black holes endangering us all. Lightning never strikes the same place twice. The blood in your veins is blue. The dinosaurs were killed off by humans. But the J guy’s shorts are quite pretty.
Wearing shorts and denying us the Jaggahogg is indeed his biggest crime.
Why all this talk of and demand for the tiny Jaggahog. Not even one mention yet for the Goggavag.
It’s been two days since you typed this but I can promise you that I have heard more about the Clussy than I ever wanted to within the past week or so
That.. elicits a desire to know less. And yet concurrently fires an intrigue to know more.
Clussy is much nicer a term than Goggavag tho, which was used to be cognate with the ‘hog. Unfortunately a very quick ‘Goggle’ of the webs reveals it tastes like “A strange mix of popcorn, cotton candy and death”. And that it is also a given name.
I think something a bit different is afoot with Gog here…
The infinite worm reconstituted rather swiftly this time.
And seems enraged.
Perhaps, she’s actually trying this time
Yeah, it looks to me she’s seriously angry in that last panel.
What ya gotta remember is: That’s not Gog-Agog; That’s a Gog-Agog.
Ya girl’s true form is probably the size of a small planet
A small planet? With 1111111 universes worth of flesh and meat to consume?
I’m thinking….at least a galaxy.
There’s not any references of extraterrestrial life in the K6BD universe, unless I’m mistaken. So it’s really just the biomass of earth-like planets times however many worlds she devoured.

You deserve to be more than just “Guy Incognito”.
Excellent math!
Now we get to Fermi this biz

I mean, when you’ve got 1,111,111 or so interesting planets with gates *before* you start exploring…you can get tied up in things, you know?
Aren’t beasts- like Gog-Agog’s worms- not angels, servants, humans, or demons? That rule may only apply to sentient life in KSBD.
Interestingly- the lack of extraterrestrial life could be 100% because the demiurges didn’t bother to look *AT ALL* beyond whatever world they end up on or near rather than because it doesn’t exist.
There are all sorts of aliens in K6BD. The dragon is only one of them.
It’s kind of like Lexx in that way- all sorts of aliens, each of which from unrelated Trees of Life, but each alien is a human.
I might be recalling this incorrectly, but I think it has been mentioned that not every gate leads to a world like earth. Some of them are infinite flat earths, or don’t have whole universes beyond the one world or other various things.

WHOEVER HEARD…OF A SAD CLOWN???
Definitely more Harlequin than Clown, as per the extra text under the comic. Clown is a simple fool, Harlequin is an astute trickster that can play the fool.
The Laughing god laughs no more.
! NOW it’s happening….

its Game Face time!
Eye wonder what she’ll do next
Life’s a game, this is just another face.
(Your face is a game!)
You know what, that does make me feel bad for ol’Gog here. After all, she IS indeed trying to make life fun for everyone.
Whether said fun is worth losing all form of free will is, on the other hand, up to the jury.
The jury says losing free will is great!
The jury also consists of twelve Gog-Agogs. This is pure coincidence.
Of course it’s coincidence! YOU ever try building a jury that isn’t half or more Gogs? The justice system is slow enough as-is.
Day 186 of assembling the jury.
The judge, wearily, holds up a picture of a blonde weeb.
Across the table, the potential juror says one word.
“Wowee-Zowee!”
Maybe day 187 will be different.
I admit, this made me lol.
As the judge prepares to leave and slowly gathers the documents on his desk, he can’t refrain from casting a glance on the picture of the blonde weeb.
His face suddenly contort in terror as he hears his very own lips whisper with a familiar, high-pitched voice:
“Wowee-Zowee…”
Oh, worm.
That’s not coincidence. Gog is being judged by a jury of its peers.
This one page just instantly made me like Gog Agog like a million times more. I mean, she just demonstrated awareness of her recurrent comic relief role, and even if she does it by subsuming the will of her many hosts, she does usually act to make things entertaining on some level for even those who are not her hosts.
Also she took a mouth-beam to the face and instantly recovered, looking hella’ pissed. Go on, crazy worm-lady, kick his multi-faceted ass!
I am reminded of a certain fleshy Akira and a certain orbital laser.
If memory serves, it was Tetsuo who was losing control of his … cellular urges. Akira, or at least his consciousness, was still in that stasis sphere at the time of the orbital laser strike.
How could I have ever forgotten it was Tetsuo after Kaneda shouted his name almost 1000 times?!
The worms must already be eating at my brain
FACT: Gog-Agog is Daffy Duck.
Change my mind!
Gog Agog is not Daffy Duck, Daffy Duck is Gog Agog. The distinction is important.
Gog-agog is a clown, she’s going to go all grotesque on his ass
“Everyone’s always laughing at me… WELL WHO’s LAUGHING NOW?!!!” – Gog Agog in a page or so, probably
worm time
The mass is immortal!
We will shortly see whether the mass always wins
Yes, we will see if it truly equals force divided by acceleration
Nah, it’ll be equal to energy over c squared

Would you like to hear a joke, Jagganoth?
I’m sure she hopes to have him in stiches.
Wanna see me make a Demiurge disappear?
Am I the ony one that finds Gog-Agog hella hot? xD
bro is down bad for some worms
can’t blame ya
more like Pawg-Agog amirite
Gog-Agog is the only character in the entire series that will fully and truly appreciate you for everything that you are. It will only be for a moment before She devours you, but still. And after? An eternity of ecstasy and mirth.
I think the appreciation comes during the devourment
SSSSSSSSHLP… SSSSSSSSHLP… SSSSSSSSHLP…
Her hat is apparently composed of meat.
The “bells” are actually the eyeballs of her worms.
Actually Gog-agog is 100% meat free*! – She is just a colony of worms that looks like meat.
*Gog-agog may have trace amounts of meat from other organisms. Please consult your general physician before consuming Gog-agog.
I reasonable sure that worms are made of meat… worm meat.
Well, if the old adage applies, that you are what you eat, well then…
Shine on you crazy worm lady, s8ne 9n.
Hmm…. it is seldom one gets to behold such ire in the queen of worms. Yet i fear it will do little good against the red god. Though Gog Agog cannot do any conventional harm to Jagganoth, i suspect it will be far from conventional.
I still patiently wait to see what Jadis will do.
Y’know it makes sense in hindsight, but it’s still very unnerving to see that her hat is made out of flesh as well
This x 1000.
“I was working on that face!”
They call her doctor worm.
Good morning. How are you? She’s Doctor Worm.
She’s interested in things.
Hrmm… She’s not a real Doctor, but she is a real worm she is an actu-al worm…
She lives like a worm.
She likes to play the drums…

Superb.
Worm casting, you mean?
“Worm casting” – brilliant! Epic. You stand alone in the pantheon of wit.
Ooooooooh he done goofed now
The time of The Worm nears close, lament for Jaggy, for soon they shall know true clown worm based fear.
And lament for Abbadon because there’s going to be a lot of gut details in the following pages as Gog gets gibbed and reforms repeatedly.
The hat, the clothrs, even the ribbons are meat. Any time The Beast reconstitutes, they’re doing so from their own flesh.
