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!

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!

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.
