[Image ID: A four-panel comic of Penelope of Ithaka, writing a letter to Odysseus.
Panel one: Penelope sits at her desk writing on a tablet. “Dear Odysseus, it’s me, your wife, Penelope. You’ll be pleased to know that my body still be banging. And I’ll be pleased to know where the fuck you are.”
Panel 2: Three men in the background pop out from behind an urn, a bush, or a column, saying “Marry me?” while Penelope glares at them. “It’s been years since you left to play war. In your absence, all these losers have been sniffing around the palace. I sense they’re after something.”
Panel 3: Three men in the foreground pig out on figs, while one looks up hopefully and says “Marry me?” to Penelope, who is standing in the background with her hands on her hips. “Yesterday some of them got into the larder. They ate all of my figs. My fucking figs, Odysseus.”
Panel four: Repeat of panel one but Penelope is leaning in closer to the tablet and writing more forcefully with an angry glare. “Suffice it to say, I pray for your swift return… with a spear… a BIG. FUCKING. SPEAR.” End ID.]
I know videos like this are not really a thing on tumblr (thank god) but I need to promote my (for legal reasons not a) raffle because I set a ridiculously close date to announce the winner and I’ve barely sold any tickets and I’m willing to try anything at this point!!
Can’t/Don’t want to buy a ticket for a chance to win a free commission? That’s totally fine, just sharing this helps me a lot 🫰
