[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Yes. Yes it is.
Sadly, how many of us know this from reading comic books/watching cartoons, rather than actual study of Norse myth? (raises hand)

Not me - Norse mythology was the second thing I read on my own (after dinosaurs). However, I did spend quite a lot of time with Jack Kirby's Thor and Loki and the rest.
I even have books.
Plus? Long Dark Tea Time of The Soul, which makes me smile.
Loki's in a comic book?
IOW, not me.
Dinosaurs were one of my things too, as a kid, as well as astronomy and trains. Never read any Norse myth, though I know did read some Greek myth on my own before we covered it in school.
I think the first fiction I started reading was the "Three Invesitgators" series. Though I read The Hobbit before that, I think. I know I saw the animated movie in 3rd or 4th grade and instantly fell in love with the fantasy genre.
We do have the days of the week to remind us. Except for that exotic Mediterranean god on Saturday.

Was there Norse myth in that? I only read it once years ago (though I own it) and I don't have much of a recollection about it.

He's the main antagonist in the Thor comics. Or at least was back in the day. Had a really ugly green and yellow outfit with curled horns on his forehead.

Jupiter Jones! I deeply wanted a clubhouse hidden in an abandoned trailer inside a junkyard. Also, a chauffeur on call.
