A quick primer on what happens to the gang once they’ve settled back into the present. So concludes (for real) the first chapter (second chapter?) of Chronillogical (“It’s About Time”).
As we’ve discussed in the past, things are going to change from here on out. For starters, the next update sure ain’t gonna be Tuesday. Yes, I know — but it’s for the best. Stay tuned for Surprises and Action and Feelings (or maybe just the first two).
Let’s be clear: Paris started the dang war. It’s just that everyone decided to blame Helen for it. Surprisingly, this is almost exactly how she dissolved that blame!
Another episode from Odysseus’ odyssey here as well — perhaps smiles and giggles sometimes are the best medicine.
Here is the clever thing I say that pertains to the strip and it is so clever!
And so we end the Chronillogical crew’s epic detour into Greece’s past—with a Back to the Future joke, of all things! (It was either that or a Staples joke.) Stay tuned for a small epilogue in about a week and a half.
Coming up on Friday, though, we have some straight-up Greek Mythology Jokes that didn’t fit in with the main story. Coming up right now are some ancient one-liners, because boy oh boy, puns are great in any age:
Two scholars were destroying outdated manuscripts at the Library of Alexandria. The first turns to the second and says, “Hey, buddy. Euripides and I’ll rip-a dose.”
The second shook his head. “Nah, nah. I’ll rip-a dese and Eumenides.”
A merchant walks in and approaches the scholars, holding two amphoras of olive oil. “I can Alcibiades for you wholesale.”
The second scholar wondered where his life went so wrong, while the first marveled at the promise of incredible savings.
Sometimes the writing process takes you to some weird places. Weird and terrifying.
