Do the Fife and Drum Corps of the Passage of Time cause the passage of time? If the drummer messes up a beat, does it warp the flow of time?
Also, it’s nice to see the Mountain Time Pantheon grow by one member. God of Potatoes, meet the Great One, the Goddess of Urinal Etiquette, the God of Dams, and the other ones I can’t remember off the top of my head.
I don’t think they cause it so much as they identify it and signal it to others.
Let’s see, there’s the Goddess of Columbus Day White Sales, The God of Good Posture, Enough, others…
Would the Destroyer Triangle count as a god?
No Destroyer Triangle is coming to mind, so I’ll go ahead and say… no.
Found it.

In fairness it was very early in the comic’s history.
Given that it has a very specific manner of being summoned, I would think the destroyer triangle is more like a “genie” type of being than a deity.
Well the alt text took care of my initial comment. now all I can think of is how that’s all I’ll ever be able to think of when I hear drum and fife marching band guys.. that’s exactly.. the cadence. I bet potatoes were also the first food grown in a cupboard when you really just wanted it to stay there and remain an energy storage device, but it’s like “nope Ima grow you a new plant!”
There are many and divers entities in Mountain Time that may not be divine per se but are probably technically more powerful then some of the gods. Dave might as well be a god, if only demi, hemi, or semi. Soup-Of-The-Day Steve and The Quaker Oats Quaker are probably properly Prophets. The Burrito-Squid may not have any powers, but it did ascend to the divine plane at one point, while it is unclear if this so-called god of potatoes has done so.
Circle: Oh wow, yeah, that was a while ago. But I think Xindaris is right. It’s a summoned monster, not a deity.
Cold: Credit goes to Kurt Vonnegut. I read The Sirens of Titan ages ago, and I’ve heard it as a tent rental ever since. But yeah, it’s quite rude when food decides to make other food for you. I already had the food I wanted, man.
Lemoncurry?: Well, Burrito Squid only *thought* he’d reached the divine plane.

But you’re right; the Pelican Cello is a demon, and that’s gotta be something near a demigod, but I’d put my money on Dave in a fight.
To be fair to Burrito Squid, though, he can do loads of things that neither burritos nor squids can do, like float arbitrarily in midair, live above water, talk, and be sapient. That might qualify him for godhood by comparison with common burritos and/or squids, at least.
Yeah, but man, it REALLY STRESSES HIM OUT.
I wonder if there’s anything in mythology about a god who just can’t wrap its head around the fact.

Sausages
You know what, “Lead systems generating sausages” sounds just like a Mountain Time page title to me.
Knowing Isto I can now guarantee the next comic will be called “Lead Systems Generating Sausages”.
Well now that you’ve called it, I can’t do it!
*Sigh*
If we do enough mental gymnastics, though, you can still create an unexpected hanging paradox and then use the title anyway!
