I honestly never would have expected that. Like, one time a few years ago I made a tumblr and I got like, five followers? Maybe? So you guys are great and I feel great and thank you so much and Iāll definitely keep putting out silly history pictures.

Genghis Khan makes me disappointed in modern fictional villains. Heās like a decades-long natural disaster, with a death-toll that would fit in with a list of historyās worst plagues, and he did it in the 1200ā²s. Writers gotta get their acts together.

Iām Korwin! I made this! Itās got like a million billion notes! I donāt even know what to do with myself.
Um. My actual non-tumblr site is www.VeritableHokum.com.
Oh and hereās where I wrote up little profiles of all those people up there: http://www.veritablehokum.com/comic/the-greek-god-family-tree/

Some kind soul posted a screencapped version of this from my site, and I only noticed today when suddenly hundreds of Tumblr folks arrived looking for more content. Like I actually got emails asking for more.
So anyway here I am! Excited and terrified and at your service. And I hope I donāt break any unwritten rules or anything while Iām figuring this whole Tumblr thing out.
Love, Korwin

The first week I had my comic up, I started a poll on what to spend multiple comics explaining. More or less everyone voted for āA Vegetableā so I got stuck reading about potatoes for like three weeks.
This is part 1.

I keep accidentally posting these to my own Tumblr, which has literally no posts on it. If youād like to see a totally empty default Tumblr occasionally post and delete comics... korwinbriggs.tumblr.com
