* If Minnie was aborted, she might not have been born with the benefits of being 1/4th Nergal. The common theory is that Mandy is sleeping with powerful beings to obtain their power through her children. And considering Junior was a disappointment, she probably didn't want a second child with Grim.

** Considering how has a collection of rare items in her vault that she clearly values greatly, she could be just "collecting" children as well. Prior to the story's start she had a Reaper son and a Nergal demon daughter, and now she wants to add a ghost child to the mix.

[[WMG: why does everyone only give Mandy the CompleteMonster tag?]]
Does no one else remember that Death in his memories caused, among other things THE HOLOCAUST?! I think that puts him on a fairly evil level. It's also strange that Jack could be so okay with this considering how well meaning he tends to be.
** I agree that it's weird that Jack would be okay with that. With the CompleteMonster tag, I think people tend to tag Mandy with it and not Grim is not just because of not just what she did, but the reason behind the action. For all we know, Grim was just doing his job ([[SarcasmMode because that's SUCH a good excuse]]), while it's implied that Mindy did it to impress her crush. Still, it's a wallbanger.
*** We're pissed off because it's bad writing on Bleedman's part. Death isn't the "cause" of natural disasters or genocide. It's a result. If he had wanted someone to blame for natural disasters or genocide, and for Mandy to rise high politically (perhaps even to [=POTUS=]? [[{{Canon}} Nah, that'd be too awesome,]] [[StayInTheKitchen so that's right out]]) why couldn't Bleedman have had Mandy be TheChessmaster we all know and love (instead of the personalityless egg bank and heir factory she's turning out to be in this comic) and strike a DealWithTheDevil... [[{{Satan}} Him]] : that he'd orchestrate these disasters and grant her power, immortality, the ability to CharmPerson every male creature of the underworld, and spawn an army of unwaveringly loyal heirs, that she may attempt to take over the whole of the multiverse, ostensibly in Him's name? The best part is that she could be revealed as having played Him for a sap, and stand revealed as the multiverse's next great villain! Who would save us?

*Afterbirth seems to more or less confirm Minnie's age in the original story. Based on the fact that she's turning twenty in Afterbirth, and the ages of the ghost twins (who were conceieved not too long after the events of the original story). The twins are seven, so minus seven years from twenty, making thirteen, and then take away about another year to account for Mandy's pregnancy, plus a little time for Dan and Mandy to actually get and sleep together. This would mean Minnie is around twelve years old. Junior's age is harder to figure out, since his current age has yet to be mentioned, and it hasn't yet been said what the age gap between Junior and Minnie was.

That is not what lolicon means.


This is a stupid question and usually I don't care about stuff like this, but considering the sexual tension between the characters I get confused. Most people say they're around 8-10 (is this WordOfGod?), yet they act and are sometimes drawn like young teenagers. Minnie has quite the libido, and I find it hard to believe she could only be 8. Perhaps that's just me not wanting to believe it due to the {{Lolicon}} implications, but I do honestly find it hard to pin-point their exact age.

***** Kinda doubt that. Mandy has Grim and Nergal Junior in her side, and even then, she's shown to be quite defiant and scare off powerful figures(and that was when she was a kid). Danny can't threaten her kids since she even bragged that he was beaten by them in that same page. Plus [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/?comic_id=132 this page]] indicates she approached him, not the other way around, most likely trying to get his son in the first place. As a WMG said, maybe Mandy is either trying to raise one of the most powerful team in the underworld under her control. Or she just wants things to be more "exciting". and what better way then to have more kids with special powers(and possibly [[spoiler: have them be in a [[BrotherSisterIncest relationship with]] [[{{Twincest}} each other.]]]]
******* Actually that page indicates she's not to pleased with him using something he didn't think Junior would survive.

*** Nah, sounds more like "if you wont raise them as like that, I'll do it myself" thing. Mandy's expression reminds me more of the way they say "no! they're mine!".

** Better excuse: she's consolidating her power. Although she did not want children, she does not either abuse nor really neglect her children. By doing this, she has people with interesting powers who are loyal to her and one another, [[BrotherSisterIncest dysfunctional or not]]. They go places she can't, what with her reputation and with powers she doesn't have, queen of the underworld and all. Could be too that Grim wants kids. She did make mistakes with Junior but she's still human, i. e., able to make mistakes. The threat was par for course, considering [[CompositeCharacter Danny's origin]].

[[WMG: Why do Nergal Senior and Junior still have both their eyes?]]
In this [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/index.php?comic_id=59 page]], Nergal explain to Grim Jr. that Nergal demons' mating ritual involves the ripping out their left eye and giving it to their mate. But though both Nergal Senior and Junior still have both their eyes, despite having each conceived at least one child. Does, this ritual only apply to female Nergal demons (if there even are such things)?
