0Commander Emily, born in the midst of the Trojan War, put the Greeks to the test on the field of battle. Her keen tactical mind won decisive victories and held safe the great city of Troy for years. Just when it seemed their hated foes would finally be defeated and go home, she made a fatal mistake.
After the fall of Troy, Commander Emily became a mercenary tactician, selling her services to the highest bidder. It is said she went on to crush her opponents in battles throughout mythological history.
Hey, it’s another Trojan War comic! How thrilling! That whole war is just rife with ridiculous happenings, it’s hard not to write about it, especially this bit with the horse. You’d think a giant construct would have been thoroughly searched when dealing with individuals like the great Ulysses whose tactical exploits and brutal tricks were well known at that time. One of the things I really like about the story, really, is that after 10 years of just sort of wailing on each other, it is brains that conquer brawn. Without Ulysses, the Greek forces would have been destroyed or at least sent packing.
Also, sorry about the lack of info on the shirts lately. They’re still here but I’m working on setting up some kind of store. I think I’m just going to have to use Paypal to do it.

hovertext is indeed awesome, please put it to good use
Anyone would have done the same if a wooden horsie came to their door haha Who would turn such a cute animal away?
you just made that up didn’t you there was no commander emily
This is sort of like how I yell PONY!!! every time I pass something remotely large and 4 legged.
Have you heard of Topatoco? It’s a group of webcomic artists from the whimsical to the incredibly serious. They have a store that they run themselves, because they all got upset with cafepress.
I don’t really pretend to know how it works, but most of the artists are pretty cool people (and the comics are cool too). Perhaps you could approach them and get 10km to be members?
Wonder what Odysseus was smoking when he made this idea.
Hover text is pretty awesome.
Hm. that’s incredibly creepy. my name is emily, and for some reason I look very similar to that.. Oh well!
There actually is one Trojan priest, Laocoon, who guesses the plot and tries to warn the Trojans but Poseidan sends two sea serpents to kill him and his two sons. Also, Cassandra, the soothsayer of Troy warns them but they ignore her too. >.< Stupid Trojans. On a random note the sculpture of Laocoon and his sons is one of my favorites.
Actually, I’d like to point out that there were reasons for the horse being accepted. Posideon was the protector god of the city, and was the god of horses. On top of which, when a commander lost a battle he would often give his horse to the opposing commander, though this was mostly symbolic and thus the substitution of a real horse. They also watched as the fleet attacking Troy sailed away, and thought that the battle was over, and thus it would be safe to accept it. I’m not defending their actions, merely explaining some of the logic behind it.
What, someone mentioned hovertext. But I’m on my iPod phone. So I cannot see it. Woe is me.
Man, I LOVE your comics! Please, do MORE!, I hate to see very talented people being so underestimated, you just need more publicity! put your comics in other pages or dunno. God Bless you!
