My Bad

I haven't done my Monday comic for weeks and weeks, you say? What?


I'm sorry. I have no excuses. Here is a comic.




LOLUTHER! He eventually succeeds, but I would say that he's still doin it wrong, given how problematic the bastard thing proves to be for Arthur and his authors. Medieval writers sure seem to spend a lot of time justifying Arthur's legitimacy.

Literary Figures We Don't Take Seriously, Part Six Zillion and One

From Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur: "So with this there came a knight riding all armed on a great horse and took the lady away with force with him, and ever she cried and made great dole. So when she was gone the King was glad, for she made such a noise."

My, these olden-times dudes are douches. I tend to think of Arthur as kind of a harmless batty man and therefore give him a little more leeway than, say, Hamlet. But really. I mean, there is a lady being carried away against her will in front of his eyes and all he can say is that he's glad she's gone because she made too much noise.

For the record, the file name I saved this comic under is "Arthur is dumb, part 1 billion".

Also, for the record, I did not want to use Sir Awesome for this comic because carrying off ladies is not an awesome thing to do, but my attempt at drawing a new horse looked like an anteater. So I gave up and used Sir Awesome and his horse and his pennant instead.

Schedule!

A month into the semester, Miss M, Queen Emily, and I have decided to become responsible, reliable students. This means that we are creating a schedule for our notes from class and intend to stick to it like it's a thesis deadline that will determine whether or not we graduate.

From now on, we'll be updating Notes from Class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until finals week overwhelms us. Or midterms--it remains to be seen whether we'll make it past that.

No Wonder She Had An Affair

It might just be me, but sometimes I feel like Arthur doesn't have his priorities straight...

Geoffrey of Monmouth Returns!

Geoffrey of Monmouth gets uppity when Wace tries something new with literature.

Geoffrey of Monmouth

Geoffrey of Monmouth re-imagines the legend of Arthur, with some dubious claims of ancestry, leaving us with only this question: who the hell is Lucius Tiberius?
