Episode 246: A Soothing Touch

Ep 246 Dolby

Welcome to the new story!!

I strongly doubt that Craterus ever had the balls to stand up this much to Alexander, and offer as evidence that Craterus in fact survived Alexander, a fate which most critics of the Indian Expedition didn't share.

To balance that assertion with something pro-Alexander, though, I'll say that I'm 60% sure that most of his insistence on being treated as a god was the result of political expedience. After the Persian Bessus attempted to claim the crown that Alexander had taken from Darius, I think Alexander figured out pretty quick that the only way to stop everybody and their uncle from rising up the second his back was turned was by putting in a strong bid for divinity. For Alexander, what was Useful was more important than what he actually Believed, and so...

Ep 246 Geoff

The count has taken firm rein of the scripting duties again, allowing me to rest my weary brain for a spell and figure out what, if anything, I'll get to blow up the next time I'm writing the comic. This is a harder task than normal since I've recently exploded aliens, a robot, and an Elder God.

So, Isaac Newton has been popping up in other webcomics recently. Not surprising, because Newton is comedy gold. Anyway, he made a star turn in a recent XKCD, precipitated a pun in Irregular Webcomic, and made an appearance in Hark! A Vagrant.
