   Homer and Duncan! Hooray!

   I vaguely remember Homer having an encounter with Vikings, but I don’t remember the details… Anybody?

   Wiley, nice artwork, too!

    All I can say is THANK YOU, Wiley for the return of Homer. I’ll enjoy every minute.

    Um, 492 AD? That’s only about 500 years too early for a Norse landing in North America. The Viking Age won’t even start for 300 years.

    Way to mess up history, Homer.

    Those first four panels are choice. Nice work.

    And I enjoy these circuitous routes Wiley takes us on through beautifully-drawn comicscapes!

    one small, supposedly insignificant note.. THANK YOU for saying A.D. 492 instead of 492 A.D.

    A.D… “Ano Domini” or “In the Year of Our Lord”… PREFACES a date. I know, I know.. I’m a bit obsessive about this, but I was taught “A.D. (year)” way back in the stone age of school and it bugs me that even Newspapers and quality magazines (like Time) get it incorrect. Sorry, yumitori, you too.

    miniwidge I did not know that about AD. Thanks for the heads up. I tend to be a bit anal about such things myself and like to be correct.

    “Um, 492 AD? That’s only about 500 years too early for a Norse landing in North America. The Viking Age won’t even start for 300 years.
    Way to mess up history, Homer.”

    That’s the point of this story, which you will see, that Homer’s accidental arrival to this continent predates the arrival of Norsemen.

    You see, it’s a comic strip, not a history book.

    I think he chose A.D. 492 because it’s 1000 years before Columbus. Just a guess of course.

    if you can’t mess up history in a comic, where can you? (mess it up that is.)

    Isn’t this fun?

    AD 492: Hmmmm…the Saxons (plus Frisians, Angles, Jutes) were the barbaric tribes with the longboats.

    Burgundy2 said, 2 months ago

    bmonk - you want to really mess with history and have Anglo Saxons in North America in 492?

    Will this somehow change the lyrics to Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song?”

    Thanx Wiley for bringing Homer back – my favorite!! Any way to go back and see the beginnings of Homer? I know Ihave the book, but I would like to be able to save them on-line.
