Watch the Horizon

I know, I know, I know! I fell short on my promise of updating at least twice a week! Well, I had a lot of personal issues (such as living circumstances) that took me away from posting! But you can resume breathing because I'm back! And with a historical parody comic!

Alright, now I know at first this won't make sense but there is a story behind it so listen in! So that's me in the second panel and I am indeed Catholic. The leading lady in the other two panels is Catherine the Great, tsaritsa of Russia in the late 1700's. Long story short, this lady hated Catholics with a strong passion. Whilst reading on a different Russian patriarch, I could not read the word 'tsaritsa' without reading it as 'tsarTITsa', which ironically is one of the things this woman was known for physically: her buxom breasts. Thus, I wanted to fire back at this Catholic-dissing woman with a terrible pun. HAR HAR HAR.

Okay, in all reality she was actually a pretty sweet chickadee and I highly recommend reading up on her. This was also kind've a backlash at a friend of mine who is Russian and makes fun of my Catholicism. Oh, how I love my roundabout way of vengeance! Enjoy! And I will see you soon with more updates!
