Some parents might beg to differ.

Poor Achilles! If only Thetis had listened to some sound advice from Karen/Charon!

Oh, don’t worry about him. I’m sure heel be alright.

Certainly not a well heeled family.

“And when Frigg was making everything promise to leave HER kid alone, I tried to tell her, too; I said, ‘Hey,don’t forget the mistletoe!’ But would she listen? Ohhhhh, no!”

Everyone has opinions on how to raise your kids.

S.S. = “Styx Ship”?

Ignorance is mine. Why is Thetis shown as a fish?

Good question. I was wondering too.

Sea nymph, a Nereid, and sometimes a sea goddess. Why a human?

That kid’s got Van Halen hair.

He’s got EVH’s hair, but he’s got Axl Rose’s attitude. “…And I’ll come out of my tent when I’m ( bleeping ) good and ready, not one ( bleeping ) second before!”

I’d heard of Achilles, but not Thetis. I know I’m not dead yet because I learned something new today!

I’ve had a copy of “The Iliad” on my read-next stack for about five years now. But there is hope. Last year I finally got to “Beowolf”. But first I must finish “Atlas Shrugged”. That should take me to 2012.

Sometime in the future, someone will say, “A dirty heel killed Achilles.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Boody as upset about anything in his life as in his death. What a frown.

Achilles was an unwell-heeled child.

Achilles had the unfortunate tendoncy to underestimate his weaknesses.

This is consistantly the best comic strip since Bloom County.

Here ,here to the former comment. Ga Gi- Bluggy ! Love those sound effects.
