Hey guys! I wanted to take a break from drawing Chapel this week and give myself a breather between Seasons 2 and 3. But I wasn’t going to let a week go without giving you guys a new strip to read! I originally drew this strip several months ago, as a guest strip for a comic called Unshelved Book Club. Every month, they invite someone to take over their strip and review a book for them. I chose Plato’s Republic, because I thought it was an unconventional – and therefore very Chapel-esque – choice.

Anyway, I’ll be back next week with more Barnaby and the official start of Season 3!
I noticed that the plants on the windowsill are succulents! Cool.... :)

Oh wow, I'm glad you caught that! They're actually air plants, but they're similar to succulents. Good eye!

Hey, I spotted something neat, went hunting around through the comments of Season One to see if you'd mentioned it back then. Found nothing, so I'm going to mention it now -- Tom Siddell did a *wonderful* rendition of Chapel and Rupert on his Tumblr (yes, THAT Tom Siddell) back in September 2011 -- it's on the second oldest page (5 of 6)

I saw inventions, and a giant robot thing, and a colorful car/bus! Oh and I saw those cupcake- bike things! I saw snails too! I didn't buy any thing (nothing really caught my eye), but I got to make something called a " Glovetopus. It's a stuffed octopus made out of gloves & making it was free!

Yarin 5/18/12 reply
Wow, thank you SO much! I'm glad you like the strip, and that's a very sweet thing to say! Are you a fan of Plato?
5/18/12 reply
 
Plato have 40 some other works that should be read as well. don't just get hooked on just one of them.

That and Plato isn't just the only of the great thinkers and writers of ancient times. You all should go and learn about the full history of the Roman Empire. it's incredable!
5/18/12 reply
Don't worry Taxil, I've been immersing myself in more than just the Republic, believe me. This year I actually HAVE learned the history of the Roman Republic, and also read writers like Dante, Cicero, Machiavelli, Aristotle, and Aquinas. It's amazing, isn't it?
5/18/12 reply
good job, keep at it.
5/19/12 reply
 
Ooh, I'll have to remember that one. LOL
5/18/12 reply

Platos Masterpiece, The Republic, is a lengthy dialog discussing several topics such as self, freedom, and the ideal society. The main question Plato brings up in the test is What is Justice? Its a very interesting inquiry. He eventually concludes that justices is when everyone confiorms to their role in society. Therefore since MY role in society is that of a child without obligations its perfectly just for me NOT to do any chores. Chapel, Im impressed youve read Platos Republic, but even THATs not getting you out of dishes duty
