COMIC: The Many Lies and Slander Regularly Attached to One Maximilien Robespierre
In further evidence that I procrastinate way too much, I present a small comic which has demanded the pretentious title of "The Many Lies and Slander Regularly Attached to One Maximilien Robespierre".
Mmmm...let's see, preliminary comments...well, please forgive the horrible attempt to write in cursive with a mouse, for one thing. For another, I'm willing to make more of these, so if anyone has ideas for more slander (and I'm sure there's plenty), please, share! Of course, it may be amusing only to me, but at least I found it amusing to draw. ^_^
It's all in books somewhere, I'm sure. The original slander, not the image that goes with it! (I don't think the Hannibal Lector connexion has been made yet...or at least I hope it hasn't) This was inspired when I was flipping through the pages of a book on the French Revolution in which Robespierre was not only described as being "sea-green" in color, that's basically just how they referred to him for the rest of the book. As in, instead of saying "he said to Robespierre", they would say "He said to the Seagreen", and we were supposed to know who they meant. *roll eyes* ^_^
...also, I apologise for the awful dictator image, I couldn't figure out what to put there. I'd already used "horrified into speechlessness" too many times...

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it. Yes, devil Robespierre is one of the ones I think came out best. He's clutching at the trident for dear life. He'd make a horrible administrator of Hell, I think. I'm sure Lucifer!Saint-Just is standing by to help him, though...

Given your wicked sense of humour, I certainly anticipate the same:D

Behind every neurotic, incompetent ruler of Hell there's an even more neurotic, slightly more competent ruler of Hell.
