Sad comic. Good, but sad.

We studied that book in a college class. I was offended at first, but then realized it was much deeper than I had given it credit.

[–]StAnonymous 2 points3 points ago

Why were you offended?

Seriously curious, though. I read it in High School and really enjoyed it. Probably didn't understand most of it, though, but I knew it was very sad. Especially felt bad for the blind lioness and the cub.

Do you know Jared Warren?

I remember reading that when I was younger. Damn, library is closed until the new year, now I'm sad. I remember being sad reading that book though, so it's almost the same thing.

Beautifully sad true story, presented in good taste. Thanks for posting the source - I was worried peeps wouldn't learn the context/

It's pronounced Allahu Akbar. The Islamic phrase for "God is great".

[–]Telsak -1 points0 points ago

Which would be the equivalent of an english-speaking person saying "OH MY GOD!"

[–]gingerfer 1 point2 points ago

I have an English copy of this book, which translates it as:

The heavens are opening! The old ones have heard our prayers! They're coming to--

And then his head blows up. Also, the lion's bubble has been shopped, in English he's saying "Move!"
