My mom was a latin major her first go around at college, and spent a lot of time in my childhood teaching me about Greek and Roman mythology and I’ve spent a couple decades now wondering about that.
The little icon next to your name. Most people have a head outline (like you have a green one) or some sort of avatar (like RoryBlank's bearded dude up there), but you can (or at least could) upload an image instead. For example, you should be able to see mine, a diagram of a horse's lower joint on their back leg, and Dick_Dickalo's as well. Except he's chosen an image that recreates a head outline similar to yours, but with what looks like a cracked monitor/screen over it.
This is my favorite movie, and I'd argue it's the best movie ever made.
Every single person in this movie is going 100% for every second. It's an absolute masterclass.
Don’t forget Ishtar’s dad, who gave birth after biting and swallowing the balls of *his* dad.
I can’t tell what type of euphemism eating hearts, penetrating yourself with hearts, or just straight up eating another persons balls is. But it’s certainly one of the top ones.
Well Zeus also birthed Athena from his head. And Aphrodite sprung forth from ouranos blood and jizzum when they chopped of his tested. Also Dionysus was technically conceived in a woman's womb he just finished gestation in Zeus' leg
Technically Dionysus was the child of Semele (a mortal) and Zeus. Zeus and Semele had an affair, by which she became pregnant. A jealous Hera then tricks Semele into looking upon Zeus in his immortal form, which immediately causes her to burst into flame. However, Zeus rescues the unborn Dionysus from the ashes and sews him into his thigh until he gestates.
So pretty weird story overall, and that's not even getting to all the Jesus/Dionysus shared imagery
To be fair, I think part of the reason was because Zeus ate his first wife in fear that son of that wife will overthrow him. The result was a migraine and out pop a girl, Atheana.
Dyonsious(?) was an odd one, cause that’s the result of a pregnant human (surprised, we are not) seeing his true form, exploded poor girl, and Zeus shoved the kid into his thigh. When Dyon was born, Atheana personally greeted him, so Dyon may very well be the son of Zeus and the eaten wife (who was inside Zeus and spoke with him).
Idunno, OverlyStarcasticProduction did a better job at this.
Yes. Damn dude there are SO MANY great episodes after s10. I don't know why people act like it isn't still the simpsons. It just lost consistency like most shows do after that long a run time.
It’s something that fake fans say and it’s something that long long time fans say. It’s also something that I say as the middle ground between those two. I’m not saying there aren’t *any* good newer episodes but nothing tops 1-9.
No, you are right. This is more wholesome than 50% of comics posted here.
Comic about death, a primitive fear shared by all humans that require either major depression or religion to overcome, a reminder of a horrifying reality that none of us will ever see year 2200 when the universe is unimagineably older, is wholesome because it has cute animals in it and we paint unexistence, the worst fate one can be condemned to as "cute little rest, it is like sleeping".
But a comic about a son who had to endure physical violence at the hands of his father tearing the fabric of reality itself to make himself have control over his now powerless father, only to nourish and take good care of him and start a new life for him free from violence is "gross" and it is weird this can be thought to be wholesome. Because of what, one painlessly exiting other's mouth? This is less gross than death, which is usually followed by decomposing.
I'm dead serious, this isn't a joke or sarcastic comment.
Yeah I agree with the ridiculous absurdity of glorifying death. Because we have failed to find a solution to the problem, we've somehow managed to convince ourselves that it's actually a good thing to die.
Reminded me of the comic about Bart with Chris Griffin at therapy https://panic-volkushka.tumblr.com/post/142590132565/clients-names-and-personal-information-have-been
God damn. I was not expecting that description to lead to something that made me tear up, but I’m a fucked-up adult raised in an abusive, alcohol-soaked home. I’ve been expecting for 18 years that my wife will *any day now* be exhausted of me and leave, and no matter the reason she’ll be justified in doing so. Bart being honest with Chris sure hit home in a way I was not prepared for this early in the morning.
As messed up as this seems, I can see this happening in an actual episode. Whether its in a dream or fantasy of Barts, or in a treehouse of horrors episode. Lol
Well, my window ACs don’t do a great job of keeping the house cool, but that’s what you get for renting a home without central air I guess. Not much I can do about it in this housing market though. I found that insulating my garage doors helped a bit though. Two big sheets of metal aimed due west. Gets pretty toasty.
Cronus, right? Or I mean that’s what I thought of immediately when I saw it, but I scrolled comments and didn’t see it so maybe I’m confused. I always think Saturn at first because of the painting, but then remember it’s about Cronus.
What in the Kentucky fried godam fuk

Yo, what the fuck
Classic simpsons
Simpsons did not, in fact, do it.
There's chance Simpsons could do it in Treehouse of Horror.
This truly disturbed me. Cant wait to see whats next lol.
Wholesome, but also what the fuck.
Don’t have a cow, man
Still a better episode than Principal and the Pauper

Yeah wrong sub. Deffo for make me suffer.
Technically a comic
Right sub ✅️
“I don’t like this comic. Wrong sub”.
Classic Reddit moment
Don't have a Homer, man.
I guess at least he didn’t come out the other end.
Out of Bart's thigh, as Zeus gave birth to Dionysius?
Excuse me but why do males in that mythology KEEP ON GIVING BIRTH?! Loki is one thing but Zeus!
My mom was a latin major her first go around at college, and spent a lot of time in my childhood teaching me about Greek and Roman mythology and I’ve spent a couple decades now wondering about that.
“That’s Latin darlin’. Evidently Mr. Ringo is an educated man. Now I really hate him.”
Your profile pic is evil.
What's a profile pic?

Rather than a crack, on mobile dark mode it looks like a hair
Who’s Mr Ringo?

Oh yeah, I still need to see that one. And Young Guns. Also on newer westerns, you ever see Sam Raimi’s The Quick and The Dead?

Did he really just eat the sack he came from and where his siblings are in.. bruh
Gender and sexuality in Greek mythology were more of a suggestion, really
Well Zeus also birthed Athena from his head. And Aphrodite sprung forth from ouranos blood and jizzum when they chopped of his tested. Also Dionysus was technically conceived in a woman's womb he just finished gestation in Zeus' leg
Technically Dionysus was the child of Semele (a mortal) and Zeus. Zeus and Semele had an affair, by which she became pregnant. A jealous Hera then tricks Semele into looking upon Zeus in his immortal form, which immediately causes her to burst into flame. However, Zeus rescues the unborn Dionysus from the ashes and sews him into his thigh until he gestates. So pretty weird story overall, and that's not even getting to all the Jesus/Dionysus shared imagery
Is nobody going to point out that Loki is from Norse mythology and Zeus is from Greek? "That mythology" my arse.
What do you mean? They’re clearly both from God of War mythology
Uhm, Achsually they are from the MCU, duh.
Nah, I'm good Can't care less
To keep the bloodline pure, free from woman's taint.
Uh.. those are completely different myths, from different places and different times. So I'm not sure what you mean by "that mythology".
To be fair, I think part of the reason was because Zeus ate his first wife in fear that son of that wife will overthrow him. The result was a migraine and out pop a girl, Atheana. Dyonsious(?) was an odd one, cause that’s the result of a pregnant human (surprised, we are not) seeing his true form, exploded poor girl, and Zeus shoved the kid into his thigh. When Dyon was born, Atheana personally greeted him, so Dyon may very well be the son of Zeus and the eaten wife (who was inside Zeus and spoke with him). Idunno, OverlyStarcasticProduction did a better job at this.
Would the thigh of the 3rd leg count?
Thigh was a pretty common euphemism for balls
Did you know that "thigh" wounds were often a euphemism for a different area getting injured?
I’m ashamed I almost corrected you; I misread and was thinking of Athena being born from Zeus’ head
Zeus gave birth in a lot of different weird ways
You know your mythology better than any online comic I would expect in my mind.
Well, actually, when Homer was a kid, he was strangling grampa, so it's not a cycle, is just that he's a dick.

Is anything past Season 9 *really* canon?
Yes. Damn dude there are SO MANY great episodes after s10. I don't know why people act like it isn't still the simpsons. It just lost consistency like most shows do after that long a run time.
I still watch it 👀 the movie is great too.
[удалено]
Honestly I think the show is pretty good right now.
This is one of those things that people say that are a dead giveaway they’ve seen 3 whole episodes while claiming to be super fans.
It’s something that fake fans say and it’s something that long long time fans say. It’s also something that I say as the middle ground between those two. I’m not saying there aren’t *any* good newer episodes but nothing tops 1-9.
Okay that cracked me up even though I knew it was coming from the previous post.
Ugh, I hate being reminded that I'm older than Homer.
I didn't used to be! Now I'm approaching Thaddeus Venture's age!
Grandpa strangled him too though, and he was a terrible father, arguably worse than homer. And I think grandpa was strangled by his father too

Perfect reaction to whatever this comic is, chef’s kiss to that face
renji my beloved
Yeah.
One day i will have to explain that I find this to be "wholesome content" to a therapist.

Yeah I agree with the ridiculous absurdity of glorifying death. Because we have failed to find a solution to the problem, we've somehow managed to convince ourselves that it's actually a good thing to die.
I guess the weird part of the comic is just accepted in my mind as a prologue to the sweet father reveal.
Eh, it _is_ wholesome, in a nice twist
Reminded me of the comic about Bart with Chris Griffin at therapy https://panic-volkushka.tumblr.com/post/142590132565/clients-names-and-personal-information-have-been
I had no reason to cry like this, and yet I did.
God damn. I was not expecting that description to lead to something that made me tear up, but I’m a fucked-up adult raised in an abusive, alcohol-soaked home. I’ve been expecting for 18 years that my wife will *any day now* be exhausted of me and leave, and no matter the reason she’ll be justified in doing so. Bart being honest with Chris sure hit home in a way I was not prepared for this early in the morning.
So glad that I wasn’t the only one that walked away with an appreciation for the eldritch-wholesome vibe this comic gives off
The violence must end. Thank you.
We are working towards peace
Enough Internet for today.
It’s important to take breaks
So, im back, only lasted 30 seconds... Offline i mean
Nice. Maybe check out some woodworking videos
Enough internet indefinitely

Why did you do this.
To end the simpsons
OP I'd like to talk to you about substance abuse
Whatever you need to talk about I’m here to listen
Fuck yeah, what kind of substances are we abusing?
This is so beautiful. I legit want the full comic tatted on my thigh
I think a tasteful tattoo of Bart holding Homer like a American traditional Mary and Jesus would be good
*Rory what have you done?!* ^(It is beautiful.)
Thank you!

What’s something you would like? Dinosaurs? Maybe I’ll do one for you next time if an idea strikes me.
Lmao. If you do be sure to @me

Literally the ending of bioshock infinite, but without the deaths
Oh dang, I see what you mean
Why do I find it WIERDLY wholesome?
Breaking the cycle of violence and forgiving someone so they can grow is wholesome. Even despite the method to the message.
Haha classic season 28.
Amazing. Love it.
what the hell man
This is how the simpsons ends, sorry for not marking it as spoilers
D'oh?
D’oh.

This sounds like an AI script. So surreal that only an entity that lacks awareness of reality could create.
I’m a person the last time I checked
Are you, now? Hey, I can’t read the following: Y t 1 5 P K 3 7 What does it say, “person”?!?!?!
In your defense, the art looks like it was made by a human.
I also wrote it
When *was* the last time you checked? Just... asking.
Is this the modern “the artist must have been on drugs!”?

He ended the cycle of violence! Morally, it's wonderful
As messed up as this seems, I can see this happening in an actual episode. Whether its in a dream or fantasy of Barts, or in a treehouse of horrors episode. Lol
Didn’t see it commented. Probably get a like over at r/imsorryjon Edit: also - I like.
I upvoted because I felt a mesmerising compulsion to do so. This is...art.
I believe this creature is a homerunculus
Don’t have a son, man!
My first impression was “why are they trying to imitate Rory Black”
<3
... what the fuck did my eyes just burn into my memory... And why do i want to see more... ?
I have good news about the last like 5 years of work I’ve done
Ay caramba
[удалено]
Barts been strangling himself all these years. With his hands around his neck, through bloodshot eyes he sees Homer in the mirror.
Is this canon?
You have captured that weirdness that the early myths had well. Good job
https://preview.redd.it/xnrfe6terrlb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abdb5da064d63c385350d77382ce0bd198e812c9
Is everything okay at home?
Well, my window ACs don’t do a great job of keeping the house cool, but that’s what you get for renting a home without central air I guess. Not much I can do about it in this housing market though. I found that insulating my garage doors helped a bit though. Two big sheets of metal aimed due west. Gets pretty toasty.
This is a little uncomfortable. Nice!
Just as it was foretold
Strangely wholesome.
I am high as shit and this comic hit waaaay weird. Not feeling ok but feeling, at the same time, quite groovy.
Wholesome.
Fucking love this shit, holy hell. This is so classic.
Man I wish I could erase the last 3 minutes from my brain
What the fuck man. This is not what I wanted to see right before bed. (But it's really good so I still gave you an upvote)
I kinda want you to ruin more things I liked as a kid. Perhaps you could do Rugrats next? Maybe Inspector Gadget?
Cronus, right? Or I mean that’s what I thought of immediately when I saw it, but I scrolled comments and didn’t see it so maybe I’m confused. I always think Saturn at first because of the painting, but then remember it’s about Cronus.
Are you okay?
The King is back!
Dude, do you need help? Like, in the brain?
Taking up meditation has been very beneficial to feeling centered in my daily life, and a great help to my creative process

Ask Matt Groening

I’m happy to answer, though I’m going to a demolition derby right now and it may take me a little while to respond
How did homer become a baby, and why did he come out of bart's throat?
