   Well, some of those autographs will soon be worthless, or perhaps worth more

   If the Lion would just pause for a second, he could grab the sword and seriously strengthen his chances.

   See, for some reason I first thought this was some sort of debate, with people handing the two their retorts. I was prepared to quote the third Futurama movie and stuff.

   The pen is mightier than the sword.

    Whose Pen name is also their real name?
    Sidney Crosby

    The ink of a prophet is better than the Sword of the Spirit?

    Naaaaaaaaa.

    The ink of a prophet with the Sword of the Spirit and the signature of the Lion witnessed by the Centurion?

    Priceless.

    The sword kills quicker, but the pain of the pen can last the victim a lifetime.

    The pain of the sword lasts a lifetime also; it’s just a much shorter lifetime.

    MisngNOLA: are you a lefty? The Gladiator is truly sinister.

    [BTW, gladiators faced gladiators, unwanted citizens (Christians and others) faced the lions.]

    Digital frog - are you human? Yu make me LOL! Only a few can do that.

    or…….maybe you are a Marine life? Don’t be proud if you are one of the few! Humbly thankful is better.

    “MisngNOLA: are you a lefty? The Gladiator is truly sinister.

    “[BTW, gladiators faced gladiators, unwanted citizens (Christians and others) faced the lions.]”

    Usually, but not always. Some gladiators were trained to fight animals, IIRC. Not too common, but then there were always exceptions to Roman principles. It’s just how their law worked.

    English legal tradition incorporates the exceptions into the law, so we tend to get terribly complex laws. Roman tradition has the law give the principles, and then the appropriate official gets to examine the specific cases and decide whether the law applies, or whether a dispensation is needed.

    Common sense logic is never the topic of this comic; that’s why it’s titled “Non Sequitur.”

    Oh, autographs. I thought they were voting to see who had to leave the arena… a true Survivor kind of thing. Guess I need to watch more TV.

    I would want the lion’s autograph & I am human; I think?

    Aww, that’s cute. The dream of all those little kitties is to work in the colosseum someday…….

    The kids would totally prefer the lion’s sig.

    Instead of children/cats, adults/children would’ve been funnier and a bit darker.

    You never know, that lion might pull out a Desert Eagle and end the fight.

    When I first saw this, I thought the spectators were lobby reps, giving each their talking points.

    Crunkbot: True that.

    But when I was a kid, I had two cats who would watch Wild Kingdom–but only when the subject was lions or tigers. Then they would plunk their little selves smack in front of the screen and watch every move, sauntering off during commercials and zipping back the moment the commercials were over. I swear they were taking notes on how to be BIG, TOUGH kitties.

    Hero worship vs Martyr worship.
    A win-win situation for the fans.

    Previous Sunday’s game: Lions 12, Christians 0

    Next Sunday is a toss up, Mongo Christian will be on the field.

    A pen stuck in the throat kills faster than a sword stuck in the foot.

    Lions eating Christians is much exaggerated. It did not happen as often as people think. In fact, maybe it never happened and is a myth. Even Nero used dogs, not lions, to eat the Christians. Polycarp, the first historically documented Christian martyr (Stephen does not count, because his existence is dubious) was first placed in a burning pyre. He used the Harry Potter Freeze Flame spell. So they just speared him to death.
