Great comic.
My Greek teacher told methe subject of my major exam next year. Guess what... it is the Illiad.

[Inigo Montoya]

Me Damn it...

Great Comic!

[Jimblee]

If wishes were fishes...

I like the ending

[Crystall_Myr]

So, when one falls into a drunken stupor, during a drunken-stupor-induced mindscape, do they go into a super mindscape?

I like this, I'll probably be reading it quite a bit.

Actually...
It's the opposite.

A new comic is coming sometime in the near future. It shouldn't be that long - it'll be an easier comic to finish.

Needless to say, I found the comic very amusing.

There dosen't apper to be a plot, however. I suggest you get one. As a webcomic artist myself I have recently discovered how useful a plot can be.

Keep up the good work!

[Uncle Festy]

To be honest, this is mostly the prologue, that will set up the events to come. We have... one more comic, and we can get to the meeting with Agamemnon and the rest of the leaders of the Achaians, which is (as anyone who remembers the plot of the Iliad knows) where the real plot begins. Bear with me, folks!
Oh, and thanks! A lot!

[Hoplite]

I think this is very well done. I love the idea of doing Homer.

Dude. Its the Iliad.

[Uncle Festy]

@ σχινοκεφαλος - Thanks!
@ kpenguin - not totally sure what you mean by that...

[kpenguin]

Its the Iliad. Of course there's a plot! Its one of the oldest ones around.

Read a book!

Sorry, I don't know a lot about greek stories. It seems like this webcomic dosen't have a plot, but I wouldn't be suprised if it did. plots are pretty useful things.

[Hoplite]

No more updates?

[Uncle Festy]

Oh, they're coming. It's only been...
<generic curse word>! It's been five days!
*runs off to work on the next comic*

Is the gun the Scar 11 from Battlefield 2142?

Is the gun the Scar 11 from Battlefield 2142?

And we have a winner!
I was wondering when someone would get it. PM inbound shortly to discuss the prize.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Nice, made me laugh


Invisible bump...

[Thanatos 51-50]

Props on your Homeric Spoof thingie.

And here I was, thinking the gun was a penetrator rfile from F.E.A.R.

[Rastaban]

Great comic with a very unique idea. Please keep it up, the masses demand it!

Well, if the masses demand it, who am I to refuse? What do I mean by "who am I to refuse?" What do I mean by "what do I mean?"

I love the comic. Well done, but I think the story needs to move a bit faster, else you have +1000 comics to make.

[Hell Puppi]

Heh that's not such a bad thing, you know

I'm really enjoying the comic, please continue!

[Zar Peter]

Just discovered this comic. Great work, please keep on else I have to read the whole Illiad!

it's not that long. It takes me about 4-5 hours to read it all.

That's 5 hours less lurking in this Forums!!!!

5 hours versus about 6 months to post a part of the story ? now what would be the best solution ?

[Hoplite]

Wait, did you read the entire Iliad in 5 hours? That does seem quick....

[Gygaxphobia]

It does... very quick.

More Silliad! More! MORE!

[Dallas-Dakota]

(Insert tune of We will, we will ROCK YOU!)
We will, we will demand more comics!
