strip #179 SWING THAT MINOTAUR




And there you have it, Minos is now out of the Torture Chamber and still alive!!! I now predict that he'll start searching for ways to die in his old Maze...

He was trapped so long in that chamber, who knows what changes have occurred in his maze during his absence. (Well I know, and so does all the Dumb Bum staff, but we are not telling a thing! Don't bribe us with exotic top-hats, luxury sandals or even germ infected money; we are NOT spilling anything! ... ... What else do you have to offer? Anything edible? Close to lunch here, so I "may" say a thing or two for a sandwich.)

Our next comic will be on this EXACT same webpage on Tuesday! Not to be confused with last weeks Goat Tuesday, this is a lame and normal Tuesday... Maybe it will be named after Minos one day, who knows...

It's here! Goat Tuesday!!!

strip #178 HANGING WITH MINOS




HURRAH! HURRAH! Sound the trumpets and bring me crackers, this is GOAT TUESDAY! The most anticipated Tuesday in Greek Antiquity! And what better way to celebrate it than with a new Minos strip! And it is right on time, just as my newly-acquired psychic abilities predicted.

Since ALL of you eagerly await to learn about Goat Tuesday, let me explain all about this ancient festive day. Goat Tuesday was celebrated during the peak of the Minoan Age. Boys and girls of ages 5 to 58 (Everybody over 12 bluntly lied about their age to participate) took sticks from olive trees, and climbed on the nearby mountains to haunt down Pan! It was all good fun for the first century or so, with feasts and wine and music... Till Aristotle, the village idiot, also remembered by historians as Aristotle-NOT-the-philosopher participated with only a vague comprehension of the symbolic usage of the olive stick, and in his blinding haste to find Pan spared neither human nor goat for 3 leagues! I don't want to get into details about what happened, but it surely gave birth to another holiday: "Morbid Wednesday"... Ask your history teacher for the precise details.

Next comic update will be this Friday! Why such haste? Because I found an old forgotten lemon in my fridge, and now I'm all excited!

Oh the love! Can it be handled without any weird diseases being passed on to Minos?

strip #177 SAVE THE BELLE




Minos sure knows how to talk to slayers! Even the most hardcore barbarian will get caught off guard from this suave minotaur with a suede head.

This was a dramatic week for me because I had to pass on an offer to make me Immensely Rich!!! I was contacted by this good medium; I know she's good for she found both my name and my home address, AND linked it to my most secret desire to be immensely Rich! First I had to get a little poorer by giving her some funds, but she was a professional and had even annexed her trustworthy picture...

But I managed to resist Miss Eliza's offer. My own medium abilities kicked in, and I knew I shouldn't trust a medium who has "MISS" in her name. How accurate can she really be? And I know I'm a better medium for I do not have "miss" in my name. Before you start sending me requests to predict the future, notice that I don't have "right-on", "accurate" nor "bulls-eye" in my name either. But if you insist, I'll take any thing you give me and do my best.

Be warned that all my predictions concerning the future involve goats. Now if you're on a goat farm I could REALLY impress you.

I predict next comic will appear on Goat Tuesday. That's a beeeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!
