"Get on your mule and out of that city" ? Is that it ? Do I understand Etruscan ?

The division between the 1st and 2nd panels is so clever, breaking up the space so it doesn't dominate the whole thing.

Gah! Things are going to happen!

I have it on semi-good authority that the Etruscan words for warning that the fires of the gods are coming sound exactly like the Latin for "turn this mule around."

Either way, one should probably heed the warning.

Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Something's Gonna Happen!

(And I love how things in one language sound just like different things in other languages... My ex says that every given name means something nasty or naughty in some other language. His name is one of the examples on this.)

(And oh, I had a dream of a volcano erupting. It was kind of a nice dream, not a nightmare like you'd expect. And it had cartoon Romans in it... wonder where that came from?)

We're all doomed to be made fun of on some playground somewhere.

I can't imagine where that dream came from :D

Maybe it's metaphorical. Like, "This mule is heading in a bad direction" instead of "the ship of state is on the rocks," or something.

Or "Don't be stubborn like a mule", i.e. listen to Felix when he tells you it's time to get out of town?

For a moment there I thought she was dreaming and that this was a prelude to girl-on-girl action. "Turning the mule"--is that what the kids are calling it these days?

But it's also beautiful, I mean, both girls look really lovely. I love the folds of their gowns and the flowing hair (sometimes flowing right out of the frame!) and the hands and feet.
