...okay, not really. But this is where Apocalypse Johto posting does come to an end. No more pages exist.

So I've only been reading this thread the last week or so but thanks for posting this. There's an awful lot of comics out there where the art style is 'read an awful lot of manga', it's nice to see one where the style is 'read an awful lot of ONI and SLG.'

She's peacing out of the world of make-believe. IIRC, she's actually a character made by the creator's RL friend and borrowed for TPOH, so maybe she's allowed to escape just out of 'don't break other people's stuff' rules.

That might explain why she looked so familiar. Still can't quite remember where I saw her from tho.

There's a recent translation of a bunch of Narts stories, I assume that's where Migdal's cribbing from.

quote:

https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Narts-Ancient-Legends-Ossetians/dp/0691211523
“45 ♦ HOW SHIRDON HELD A MEMORIAL FEAST FOR HIS ANCESTORS

On meeting Shirdon the Narts, first one, then other, said to him, “You should arrange memorial feasts in honor of your deceased relatives, so that in the Land of the Dead they do not envy others. You commit a serious offense in not keeping up the customary feasts to the deceased ones, as we all do!”

Others were not beyond teasing him with meanness, mockingly saying, “Among us Narts you will not find another like you, ignoring the dead.”
Shirdon understood very well why the Narts were so concerned with his forebears. He, poor fellow, had only one single cow, and the Narts were eager to eat it. Why else were they worried about his relations?

“Well, let his deceased relations remain without food, and sit hiding their hunger among the other deceased ones!” So they spoke amongst themselves.”

For a long time Shirdon kept silent on the matter, but at last said, “Well, you know that I have nothing, so how can I give memorial feasts?”

“Ask among your living relatives and friends, and let them help you, but on no account leave your dead forebears without food, without honor!”

Shirdon collected from relations what they could spare, and gathered his own things together until he had enough for a memorial feast. He then brought in a stove with firewood and stood it on the hearth. Then with a huge two-eared cauldron, he began to brew some beer. But in preparing this he portrayed himself as a simple fellow, stupid even. Everyone knew that to brew good beer you need to put twenty measures of malt in a two-eared cauldron, but he poured into it only one. He boiled it and boiled it, and for several days kept the fire going, but the beer, of course, was not ready.

However Shirdon, as usual, knew what he was doing! People thought that he was preparing a good stock of beer for the memorial feast. Next he slew a sheep, and threw its carcass into another cauldron.

“My forebears have long now had no need of food,” he said to himself, “but the Narts will get one poor sheep among them, and make do with that!”
The news that Shirdon was preparing a memorial feast spread quickly. On the day of the feast Shirdon gathered together a beer-server, a baker, and two stupid young fellows whom he invited to serve at table, and said, “You will be busy serving at the feast table, and won’t have time to eat then, so take some refreshment now, or you’ll miss it.” He told them to kill a couple of chickens and roast them, and gave them some whiskey to drink. When this was done they poured the beer into barrels.

Then he sent messengers to invite the Narts to the memorial feast, and while waiting started up a discussion with the servers about which came first—the chicken or the egg? Already tipsy from the whisky, they quickly began to quarrel. One said, “The chicken, of course!” Another retorted, “But the chicken must have come from an egg!” So the argument grew into a fight between them, and they began to strike one another. Then Shirdon interfered , pretending that he wanted to separate them, and seemingly, by chance, he knocked over the barrels of beer. At once he began to show his distress, and to roundly scold his helpers.

“You have done me in! I’m finished! I have only just sent messengers to invite the Narts to the feast, and you have made me upset all my beer! How can I face the Narts now, when they arrive?”

He was just swearing at his helpers, when the eldest Narts came into the courtyard. Shirdon ran out to them, and said in distressful tones, “My servers are stupid fellows! They have spoiled everything! They started arguing about which came first, the chicken or the egg, and it led to a quarrel. They began to fight, and I tried to stop them, and in doing so the barrels of beer that I had prepared got knocked over, and all was spilled. How can we have a memorial feast now?”

The elder Narts glanced at each other, shook their heads, and went off home. On their way they met other Narts also coming to the feast, and when they heard what had happened, they too dispersed to their homes, and did not attend the memorial celebrations. ”

“As for the food that Shirdon had prepared—well, that remained for him to eat alone.

And that was the final chapter of Witch Vasenka's War! Nadya pulls off an Orpheus with minor side effects, love blooms on the battlefield, Dicke Bertha gets kicked in the face one last time. I hope people enjoyed this somewhat whimsical reimagining of a frankly pretty nasty time in human history. Maybe you learned something about eastern European tradition? Maybe you just liked seeing Nazis get blown up.

Thanks for posting these!

I'm also a fan of the author's "Guns and Stamps", it's a shame tho that the translation on that seems to have stopped.
