15/06/07 True to the Original Fiction |

Sometimes, the Greek myths themselves provide the best
source material. This comic is based on a true story:
although when I say true, I mean true in a mythological
sense... i.e., fictitious. There was indeed a legend
concerning a group of Amazons who efficiently killed
their captors, only to find themselves on a boat that
they had no idea how to control. I've no idea what the
propaganda purpose of that particular myth was (Women
can't navigate, perhaps?), but it's one I've always
liked, if only because it rings true for... well, pretty
much everyone. At some point in our lives, we will all
find ourselves in a situation where our years of
training and expertise in our chosen field... be it
science, accountancy, or killing males, is rendered
useless as we find ourselves in a situation that we
never could have anticipated. Just hope that the
situation is something like being coerced into playing
Dance Dance Revolution when you're really bad at it, as
opposed to being stranded on a boat in the middle of the
Mediterranean.
We will return to the young Cyrene and her followers
next time, for the exciting conclusion of this
adventure. Possibly featuring Majel Barrett saying "And
now, the conclusion" in her soulless Starfleet
computer-style voice. Be there, or be mercilessly
killed! |
