A companion comic to What Was Napoleon’s First Name?

“I do not like the cone of shame.”

~Me, getting ready to return my history degree.

During a conversation with my husband and a friend, I suddenly couldn’t remember a relevant fact. “What was Napoleon’s first name?” I asked. I was met with a long silence, and wide-eyed stares.

Bonus: I have a degree in history.

We began speculating on what might have happened, had I asked such a question in an actual history class, particularly with certain professors (hint: I would no longer be here to ask foolish questions), and this comic was born.

Happy weekend!–nevermind….

My grandma passed away this week. It’s too early for snowdrops here; but they are symbols of renewal and hope, and when the time is right, they will proclaim the coming of Spring. These hoped-for snowdrops are for her.

I will be traveling to be with my family during this time, and will continue posting comics when I return.
