      Misrepresenting?!? As far as I remember the story, Adam is spot on except wasn’t the cyclops really a robot?

    That’s a surprisingly good summary of the Odyssey. Cool bug should write for Sparknotes.

    Hmm, this is funny because only a few hours ago I was looking to grab a book to reread off of my shelf and I almost grabbed The Odyssey.

    Another great strip as usual! The cyclops bug is also a nice touch!

    I was reading the last weeks worth of comics, and I noticed some people having issues with the ad.

    This raised a different question for me, which I’m hoping someone can answer.

    Does AdBlock+ have any affect on page views for ads? I’m not really familar with the whole tech side of them, but my understanding is that the publisher pays Adam every page view, or a certain amount of page views.

    I’m only asking because I would gladly disable it for this site to help support it if it does affect it at all.

        That comment was hardly long, and to answer his question, it depends on the agreement between the advertiser and Adam, could be number of views to number of people who click the view. I could be wrong since I’m a teenager.

    Oh. My. God. It’s… it’s… The GLAIVE!!! I think I’m gonna cry.
    I’d hoped and prayed you’d reference Krull some day. INSTANT favorite.

    Also, I had to go back and double check Mon and Tue for Odyssey themeness. How bout random nonsense 2 days followed by 3 days of highly focused nonsense?

      We saw Krull back in the days when people went to movie theaters. The hero’s men were getting killed like flies all around him, and when he met the biggest badass monster, and FINALLY pulled out his magic weapon, somebody behind us said, “‘Bout damn time.” That was the highlight of the movie for us.

        Ha! But I thought Colywyn didn’t use the Glaive because Ynyr specifically warned him not to:

        Ynyr: Do not use it until you need it.
        Prince Colwyn: How will I know when?
        Ynyr: You’ll know.

        Although that didn’t seem to be a problem for the arcade game: youtu.be/QDxw1z42lYY (which I thought was hard as BALLS to play back then).

        Man, there were so many awesome quotes from that movie: imdb.com/title/tt0085811/quotes I think it’s very underrated. It was decent considering its $27M budget (beweeen the $15M of the previous year’s Dark Crystal and the $40M for Dune the following year)

        When they remake it (and you just know they will), they’ll have to split it up into at least 2 or 3 flicks they packed so much stuff into it. Even a cyclops -)
