To say nothing of a skin disease

Medicine bath or not, there may be something amusing about a man who sits in a bathtub all day. Also, an open door policy while you are sitting around half naked during the French Revolution? Bad idea, bad idea. The unnamed lady is, naturally, Charlotte Corday.

Oh yeah! For anyone who wants a brief run through of the Revolution, here is a Robespierre-heavy 90 minute history channel something-or-other on youtube! Did I ever tell you I love finding stuff on youtube? Look, Cromwell! Gotta watch that!

and store! Thought I would forget did you (I almost did)

I am a fan of the one thousand lines in this comic. They are mesmerising.

I like how irritated he is by being knifed! Also her stripey dress and stylish overhand stab.

I always found that painting to be chilling as a child. My dad had (well, still has) a really old bath with a rough, jaggedy surface and I always thought I'd cut myself and get, I dunno, bath poisoning

It used to really confuse me because I wasn't aware of the circumstances being depicted or who he was! But it is one of those paintings you see a lot and eventually I got around to looking it up.

I just learned about this last month. I love putting my history lessons to good use, especially since I adore it all.

And Marat was just always nutty ;)

I did always question the whole open-door policy, no guards thingy. Suuure she said she had insider information, but who the fuck doesn't?!
Jeeze, Marat.

If only he had known that a simply change of diet would have helped his skin condition. OH, Marat. You make comics about all my favorite peoples. This one is crazy since I've been thinking about Marat a lot this week.

Does that mean I shouldn't leave the door open for pretty ladies to walk in while I'm in the bath ?

That's gonna be a big change to my lifestyle...

Wow. The largest organ on his body tormented him to the extent he felt most comfortable submerged in a tub, and yet he managed to be revolutionary enough to inspire being stabbed in said tub? I mean what was he doing? Throwing those duckies at people? Or penning waterlogged diatribes against the governing forces?

Sometimes I feel that most of history belongs in Ripley's Believe it or NOT! (Ripley, now THERE'S a fellow for the books...)

Oh, god. Her Wikipedia article is awesome:

"Corday was not a Royalist, but she found virtue in all life, although not necessarily Marat's."

Hee! The "For France!" face is delightful.

Your comics have become the main pop culture discussion point in my school newspaper class, in case you were wondering. They are delightful!

You've got Charlotte in the same dress that Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry painted her in, but with a nice modest cap! And I think the rubber ducks should totally have been there.
