  • There’s like a billion sources, but I think in the story, the horse was supposedly left by the Greeks as an offering to the gods (Poseidon?) for safe passage home across the sea. And then the Trojans saw the Greeks had left, and stole the horse to fuck them over.

    But the Greeks had anticipated that, and were lying about leaving anyway. They knew if they left it there, then the Trojans would steal the horse and bring it into the city, so they hid inside and then sprang out to kill the guards and open the gates for the rest of the army. So it wasn’t a gift for the Trojans. Also, I think somebody did say that it was a trap, but they were ignored or killed somehow


  • I read this as “is one of the opposums” and had a whole head canon about this beautiful artistic opossum struggling to make it in the world by selling her art on street corners, before finally being recognized for her brilliance and having the world accept her despite her species. Then I looked at the image again, noticed the name, and re-read the comment. It’s too early for my brain.






  • Fantastisch Geschichte! Diese Katzen sind schön, und ich liebe, dass so vielen Katzen Lilly heißt. Meine Eltern hatten ein dreifarbige (Calico) Katze, und sie war ganz süß. Ich vermisse sie sehr. Mein Bruder hat sie “Snickers” genannt, wie die Süßigkeiten.

    Also, vielen Dank für das Schrieben auf Deutsch. Ich spreche Englisch und lerne Deutsch, und es ist sehr hilfreich, die Übersetzung zu sehen. “Er ist ganz schön dehnbar” = “He’s a stretchy boy”, LOL. Es tut mir leid für mein schlechtes Deutsch.




  • The old C&H comics are so inconsistent. Sometimes I just read it and “yeah, I get the joke, but meh” or “that was dark then but aged very poorly,” and sometimes I read it, then 2 seconds later I burst out laughing. I don’t really why this one is funny, as it’s literally just shitting on someone and then subverting expectations, but it had me giggling a lot.
