History Project 2

 

Ready Set Go

After having so much fun with the first history project, I asked for 20 more names from readers and I would make comics out of those submitted.  Currently we have only three left!  Here is the full list:

You Cannot Deny The Majesty

I Am Trying To Be Noble Here

The Fate Of A Nation

Lord This Newfie Joke is Complex

For those of you not from Canada, here is the thing:  Modern day Newfoundlanders talk funny sometimes!

Sons Of Liberty

Captain My Captain

I had never heard of this guy but he is awesome!!


He looks like Michael Jackson!

What you are thinking is correct!  My regards to Captain North.

But you won't regret watching it ever.

The Patriot

Yeah man, you have to respect Tom Connors

The Peach Basket Man is Hard Done By

This of course being the second particularly Canadian comic in a row, but mind you it was on the list! Now, the quotes in the first panel are instantly recognized by we Canucks, but to those of you who aren't familiar with a certain video clip starring Mr. James Naismith of Ontario please watch the following video:

Katie Beaton's comics: Heritage Minutes R US

Homage to the Road to Animal Farm

I made another comic called 'Eric Arthur Blair Shoots an Elephant' but it was like 90% text and some pictures mooshed in the corner. After these history comics are done maybe I will make things that break out of six panels.


ps what good is any British comedy without a zany chase scene

At Least A Nice Hairdo Is Named After You

His List of Eccentricities Is Worth The Read

So I think that bit about computer nerds not getting hot ladies was wrong right from the beginning because by my estimation, Georgiana Babbage was quite foxy.


They also had 8 kids so contrary to what my comic might make you believe they totally got it on.

The Other Revolutionaries Are Making Fun Of Me


Saint Just is interesting in that there are many debates as to what kind of man he really was, hero or monster and all that. There are just as many arguments over whether or not he is The Dreamiest but they are usually cut short by ladies swooning.

Eat Your Heart Out Milli Vanilli

Madame don't louse this document up with all your hormones, it's literature.

Thereafter Pretentious Men May Quote Me Ad Nauseum

To friend Overbeck and wife.


Although you have so far demonstrated little faith in my ability to pay, I yet hope to demonstrate that I am somebody who pays his debts—for example, to you. I am just having all anti-Semites shot.
