Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years! Is there a better way to return after months of absence than by bringing you with a comic about Zeus trying to bang some hapless mortal woman? I say there is not!
Poor Europa, abducted by a god disguised as a bull, and then ravished by that same god disguised as an eagle. Zeus was one messed up fella! Either that, or the folks writing stories about him had some really intense feelings about animals that they did not hide very well. Maybe it was a bit of both?
You’d at least think that, having seduced so many mortal women, he’d have perfected a better technique at some point, but he always seems to manage to just get more ridiculous.
For those of you unfamiliar with the story of Europa, she is another in a long line of mortal conquests by the immortal Zeus. In the tale, Europa is a beautiful young maiden (aren’t they all?) of noble birth, most often a descendent of Io, one of Zeus’s former lovers. One day, while out with her friends in the fields, she spots a beautiful white bull mixed in with her father’s herds. Entranced by this stunning creature, she climbs upon its back against the urgings of her friends. At once, the bull runs off, carrying her across the land and out to the sea. The Zeus-bull swims with her on his back the isle of Crete where he reveals his identity to the young woman. In most versions of the story, he shows her his true form as a man, though in some he turns into an eagle to ravish her for whatever reason. There are also some forms of the story where Zeus takes the form of an eagle from the beginning and flies off with her to Crete.
After telling Europa that he is, indeed, the chief of the gods, Zeus beds the young woman. Having made love to her, Zeus returns to Olympus but, in most versions of the story, leaves her with several gifts: Talos, an enchanted man made of bronze that guarded the island, Laelaps, an incredible hunting dog, and a javelin that never missed its target. Europa later gave birth to three famous sons, among them was the legendary King Minos who would later have the labyrinth built to hide the deadly Minotaur. Europa is generally considered to be the first Queen of Crete and her sons, the first Kings.
After all was said and done, Zeus marked his union with Europa by creating the image of the bull in the stars which we know today as Taurus. A strange way to put a notch on one’s bedpost, to be sure.
Unlike many of his other lovers, Europa was one of the few that actually managed to escape the wrath of Zeus’s wife, Hera, though why this would be is rarely discussed. Suffice to say the girl was lucky.
Well, as lucky as someone who gets abducted by a god disguised as a bull and carried off to an island only to be ravished by said god can be. I guess it was worth it in the end?
I wanted to say thanks to everyone for your continued support! I’m sorry I’ve been away for so long but life has been hugely in flux over the last few months. I’ve been getting a lot more work coming in and it’s hard to balance that with improving my life and personal projects. Needless to say it’s been a crazy ride. It’s also a little intimidating to try to write comics that I’m happy with. The more time goes by, the more scared I get of disappointing you fine folks. All I can say is that I will do my best to update more regularly and I will try not to worry so much as it tends to just get in the way of actually getting things done.
Shiiieeet, moar Monster Pulse! The current arc has made quite nice a return to the "what if pokeymans was dark as fuck" theme that's been runnning underneath all along!

Panel after that ->six billion and 1,an 80s style montage of killing demons one at a time in increasingly amusing ways.
That doesn't look like Throne or whatever the hub world was called again? Looks more akin to the void place the archdukes were doing their sit-ins in...

there was a really good image out there showing how this whole affair works
Throne is the spoke, the axis of all reality acting as the Central Sun. From that spoke, branching out in 777,777 directions is every reality. Between those worlds is the Void, the space between them where the Angels dwell. Through all these worlds and all the voids between them is the Kings Road. Presumably demons and celestial vermin have settled along this road to Throne

Ah, that sounds fitting? A hospitable area of material space even though belonging to the void realm? And this place is accessible from all worlds and realities? Sounds like first step on an ambitious magus' journey...
I don't think that's completely Annie. I think it's the original fire spirit that Annie is descended from. Annie's descendants don't die( there's nothing left to take after all) they live on in a chain of succession. Annie taking her mother was her mother rejoining the fire spirit who I assume lives through it's hosts.
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
here’s a lot about this strip I find perfectly reasonable. It makes sense, obviously, in a world where predator and prey animals both recently found themselves suddenly sapient, that whatever social structures the earth’s new rulers borrowed from vanished humanity or created anew would have difficulty weighing a new morality against some citizens’ need to eat. It’s reasonable that our two police officers — a plant-munching rabbit and an omnivorous bear — wouldn’t have much sympathy for the hypercarnivorous wolf. It also makes intuitive sense to me that wolf would cast off his clothes before reverting to his animal nature and devouring a pig who, in theory, is his equal in the new dispensation. But the smiles on the faces of those other pigs? “Better him than us,” they seem to be thinking, and it chills me to the bone.
Do you like my photos? The stupid things I say? The way I am alive? You can contribute to that staying the same through the following link
A is false because pigs roll around in mud or such to keep cool even in the wild
A duck tends to swallow it's food whole unlike a pig which will bother to chew
It also implies that Robert was a monster( unlike Fugue, Ringley and Shirley who were people who became monsters), and that Robert killed his human and is now immortal, as Robert Eugene Otto is now long dead, and I think that if a person dies for any reason other than being killed by their monster, the monster dies as well.

Huh.
That explains why Anthony would want Reynard. If he views the fire spirit in Annie as being the same sort of parasitic entity that Reynard is, rather than a core part of her, he could learn a lot about separating entities from their hosts from Reynard (thought whether it'd be polite questioning, or horrific experimentation is up in the air).

As to the earlier threads discussion about Lazara, I don't think it changes anything really. If you felt sorry for freeze before, then if anything this reveals him as even more lonely, never actually knowing the woman he fell in love with. Everything he did, he did for that. It all depends on how you choose to see this. If your a romantic, it just makes it seem all that more of a tragic love story. If your less so, you now see him as a creepy guy stalking someone he never knew. I prefer to see it in the romantic story....A doctor working on a project slowly over time falls in love with his patient whos in a coma. He has nothing else to the point of having a mental break and thinking shes his wife. That's actually a bit more batman-like of a villian.
