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!

That was funny =) Too bad I already have a role in the society =( Me! 11/25/12 reply Ha ha! Thank you! Emma 3/7/13 reply   We might read Republic in school this year. Maybe. Ginny Weasley fan 10/27/12 reply I really liked it! Emma 3/7/13 reply   I noticed that the plants on the windowsill are succulents! Cool.... :) coco 5/25/12 reply Oh wow, I'm glad you caught that! They're actually air plants, but they're similar to succulents. Good eye! Emma 7/16/12 reply   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) Xheralt 5/25/12 reply Yes, I've seen it before! I have my own tumblr blog where I re-posted it. Tom Siddell is a sweetheart!

Emma 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! Dr. Taxil Necrobane 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? Emma 5/18/12 reply good job, keep at it. Dr. Taxil Necrobane 5/19/12 reply   Ooh, I'll have to remember that one. LOL Emily14 5/18/12 reply It's a good book, you should try it! Emma 5/18/12 reply   YAY! Can't wait for more Barnaby!
