Wait, what about the left hand? My attention was elsewhere.  😉

Caning's too good for him. I recommend taking him apart in alphabetical order using nothing but a rusty spoon.

Okay, let's not go there. If you do that, then we will end up with not only a mess on our hands, but a death as well. You have to think of a different, more lasting method. Aside from psychological torture, my preffered approach involves some long, thick nails (preferably about 4in. long and 1/4 – 1/2in thick), a bunch of candles (tallow is preferable, but wax is fine), and a couple of matches (or a blow torch if one is at hand). Now guess what I'm going to do. 👿 👿 👿

You say "forced" like it's a bad thing. 👿 😉

I'm curious about something, Fonk. What're the Amazonian men like? There's got to be men in the tribe, to impregnate the women. Right?

Do you know any mythology? Mythology is kind of a hobby of mine, and I have read a rather large number of legends, some of them being about the Amazons.

There are two versions of the legend that I have heard, one where the tribe of the Amazons included males, and one witohut. The stories that included the males did describe them, although probably not in the way that you would expect. Even though females were born more commonly than males to the Amazons, if a male was born, his arms and legs would be broken during the period of time from just after birth or just before they learned to walk. Again, it varies with the stories. Either way, the males would be crippled for life, enforcing the matriarcal heiarchy that the Amazons are famous for.

In the stories that say that they did not give birth to males, they took on the roles of bandits. If you want a modern-day comparison, look at the Gerudo Tribe in the Legend of Zelda series. Basically, the Amazons gave birth to only women, so they had to do one out of two things to survive: 1) they had to seduce men from other tribes into coming with them, or 2) they had to forcibly take the men from other tribes with them. Either way, the men took on domestic roles during their stay with the Amazons. That means that the "traditional roles" that women fill in most societies today were filled by the men that had been captured one way or another (by choice or by force).

From what I have gathered from reading Fonk's story, I would say that he is drawing from the latter of the legends. Is this correct Fonk?

Nice! Glad to hear that you are staying. 😀

[gblock01]

What!? I won't pry, but is this temporary or permanent?

Nice pic, by the way.

That has got to be one of, if not the, greatest peices of work that you have done yet! That was awesome!

It looks like the government sent in a suicidal squad.  😀
Well done! I think that I'm favoring storyline B at the moment, but only because I like the idea of the cat fight. 😉

Not really disturbing when you consider she's the same race as Marvin. (Who, in the DD universe, is really short by Martian standards, incidentally.)

I don't know how you can really say that. Through the course of the episodes that I've seen, I've only seen three martians. The rest (the centurions) are robots.  😛

On the other hand, I wonder if this means that DD will go through with the marriage this time. 😀

This can only be described as a cat fight of Dragon Ball Z proportions. Wonderful fight scene. I hope that I will be able to see the rest of her plan soon, because jumping off the cliff seems a little strange.
