Look! A Catalina!

- At egscomics

Something something clever commentary that's unaffected by how tired I azzzzzz

Commentary

"And that's how I met your mother."

A more accurate version would have had the sandal simply landing on the king's lap, but no.

Sandal to the face.

Catalina's not wearing much of anything fancy, but I wasn't entirely sure what would be fitting, accurate, and/or potentially disrespectful, and I wanted Catalina recognizable as, well, Catalina.

So she's a business casual king (who might shop at Anachronistie and Finch).

My understanding is also that the king would have been a pharaoh, but what I read of Rhodopis simply said "king". I ultimately just went with a vague reference to Catalina's status in-comic.

That is entirely accurate to cannon.

The sandal was fired from a cannon? I'm surprised it wasn't damaged more...

So, we're gonna need a lot of gun powder? Or do you mean canon? Either way, we'll get a bang out of it!

At least it was a sandle to the face, rather than a boot to the head...

Catalina should have been in a warrior queen outfit. That’s Kingly/queenly and also still recognisable as Catalina.

The name Rhodopis has something to do with the color red or roses, so it's appropriate to have Catalina in the story. :)

"Pharaoh" is ancient Egyptian for "big house". It was used to indicate the king, the same way we use "The White House" to mean the presidential administrations in my country. I believe in ceremonies they just called him "king".

Foradain

Although I think we had already seen Rhodopis, in her bath with her maid bringing her sandals.

The idea of a random, disrespectful eagle just chucking some poor lady's shoe straight into the face of the king is hilarious to me

@Foradain: well, this was clearly before planned obsolescence degraded shoe manufacturing processes so that everybody's shoes would wear out in a timely fashion rather than sometimes lasting literally forever. I'm surprised a sandal fired from a cannon didn't *do* more damage. King Catalina must be super tough.
