forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit

"Even you, Aslan?"

Been reading about and discussing the persecution of the Christians 3rd/early 4th centuries AD lately. Naturally, I have to make an inappropriate joke about it. Hopefully it's not 'too soon.' 

The title is part of a line from Vergil's Aeneid (I.203), meaning: "Perhaps it will even be pleasant to recall these things one day."

AAAUGH!!!

Charles Schulz's Iliad? 

Here we have Achilleus bewailing the loss of his prize of honor (γέρας, which you can see I put the wrong accent on...). I'm afraid I didn't draw Lucy (playing Agamemnon) at all well... but I didn't have any references to look at.
