ACHILLES HEEL

A comic about cats and capitalism

ACHILLE'S HEEL

"He became invulnerable where the waters touched him—that is, everywhere except the areas of his heel that were covered by her thumb and forefinger."

A kingdom of cats is ruled by its King, a ruler who was born with every resource and advantage available. He never fears for himself, as his "castle" is impervious, and never wants for food, company or entertainment. All the cats of the kingdom love their King, and all is golden and perfect.

Somewhere, in the background, something forgotten toils.

She asks me to kill the spider

Oh hello new friend!

She is planning, planning, planning still

   The way to do some murder.

bye autumn!

But while she moves with careful tread, And

while she spins her silken thread,

[achilles-heel-comic]

I started to hate drawing items and gravel here.

She looks as if no thought of ill

  In all her life had stirred her;

Forwards>

<Backwards

[achilles-heel-comic]

Everyone boo clap for King Sapphire.

To see her, quiet as a mouse,

Going about her silver house,

Forewards>

<Backwards

[achilles-heel-comic]

The beginning of me drawing buildings, yuck.

The spider wears a plain brown dress,

   And she is a steady spinner;

[achilles-heel-comic]

Left behind.

And I had done a hellish thing,

And it would work 'em woe:

For all averred, I had killed the bird

That made the breeze to blow.

Ah wretch! said they, the bird to slay,

That made the breeze to blow!

I'm sorry, Albatross.

"'God save thee, ancient Mariner!

From the fiends, that plague thee thus!—

Why look'st thou so?'—With my cross-bow

I shot the ALBATROSS."

Promise?

"In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,

It perched for vespers nine;

Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,

Glimmered the white Moon-shine."

what was this blog before the revamp?

It was a clangen comic! Not a very long one

[achilles-heel-comic]

Your decision to make, I guess.

"At length did cross an Albatross,

Thorough the fog it came;

As if it had been a Christian soul,

We hailed it in God's name"

They seem trustworthy.

"He holds him with his glittering eye—

The Wedding-Guest stood still,

And listens like a three years' child:

The Mariner hath his will."

Take care of yourselves, friends!

Well, as any of you who have been following this blog may realize, I haven't used it to post any sort of clangen comic. I think my issue is that ultimately I feel the clangen format is too restrictive. I'll be revamping this blog for a different cat comic--only tangentially related to warriors. More to come on that in a bit.
