Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Interesting to see Bibendum made it across the Great Divide with Thorongil Caladharas 7,000 years ago… … How close are these years to those years? Or is this a bad question?
LOL! I finally got it. First I had to google “Bibendum” to find out what that meant. Then I had to search the comic very very carefully, until I noticed the tyre’s label in the first panel.
Mr. Roden has a number of impossible coincidences, given that we are on a different world and (my guess) between five and six thousand years futureward from our present (the Mariner and his people came through some kind of portal from our world some 7 millennia ago, but at a time when Irish Gaelic already existed in our world). “Suspension of disbelief” is necessary in any story like this, it is just too much work to invent different words and different artifacts that do the same things as in our world now. ‘Specially in a graphic novel where you would also have to create models and pictures of those artifacts.
I’ve also been known to make my own logos, and leave real world logos in places for fun Heck, I slapped a ‘CE’ logo on a memory card once, even I like bleedthrough. I like the feeling like you’re on a parallel Earth with it’s own thing going on.
Heck, a couple times I even had people drinking Nozz-A-La soda in scenes too. And a character had a poster on their wall of the Sierra Madre Hotel, too.

Ok, pretty sure there is a joke there somewhere – lol
Look forward to your return!
