You sure it’s flashbacks? That smell might just be the brimstone and pyres.
Been thinking a lot about why this story is so affecting (aside from Klio’s great art and storyboarding). Maybe it punches some deep buttons in us older kids who grew up expecting to be nuked any day.
Yes Typeminer, you’ve hit it. The volcano evokes our atavistic fear of eminent total nuke-itude. I believe it’s the single most motivating factor for the turned-on and tuned out sixties. Why struggle when the fat-cats are gonna nuke you tomorrow anyway?
by “smell flashback” i was exepcitng Felix would start telling Damon about Mus. I didnt mean smell literally, and i meant flashback in the literary sense.
I just approved another comment from you that got stuck in the filter, but I’m not sure whether it will actually post; I just wanted to let you know that I tried not to let it get eaten by the comment-filter-volcano 🙂
Hope you’re feeling better soon! Thinking of you, and not just in an impatient-for-the-next-installment-of-the-story way, either, I sweah!
(Truly, when I absently wondered what was up and found your previous post about not feeling well, I, the chronic sickie, felt immediately sympathetic and you’ve been in my thoughts since.)
Pardon if you already know if the channel, but I just found her today! Recreating historical hairstyles using archeological evidence and ancient techniques. I thought of Iusta! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCboS0faGVeMi3n5_2LsVazw
Is this the first time he refers to Mus as a man?
Unless I made and error, it is.
I think so.
This means that now Mus is officially dead. Despite the fact that he is still alive under Domitian’s care.
If he pleases Domitian, maybe he can get special consideration for being declared alive again. Maybe.
I smell flashbacks. And doesn’t that kitten ever run aroudn and frolic like a normal kitten or is it still too sick?
It was probably half (three-quarters?) choked by volcanic fumes and ash, and it’s only had a day or two to recover – so yes, it’s probably too sick.
Not to mention the near-drowning.
Luckily Damon is a very attentive nurse.

Not all legionaires are so kind when bears are involved…

(But also so is your comic. Just sayin’. <3 )
Thanks 🙂 <3
I think a couple more days of medicine and naps and I'll feel like a human again. I have a flimsy constitution!
And I hope you're currently feeling well too!
“What’s his name?”
“Ash”

I think I stumbled across that before, but then must have forgotten about it–thank you for reminding me to check it out! 😀
ah, so, I got confoozled, the boy is alive!
