Anonymous asked: I saw on the dappertellyboke thing that you confirmed that panel with Julienne giving Hero a chunk of chocolate out of herself is a reference to the pelican myth, but isn't that do with Christianity? Does TPoH draw on religion?
ah, unfortunately I hadn’t thought people would make that link; the (untrue) belief that pelicans fed their chicks on their own blood by injuring themselves with their beaks is a very ancient myth and was in common circulation in Europe during medieval times, which eventually ended up with people linking it to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the religion became more dominant; consequently the imagery has been used by Christians but the myth, as far as I am aware, actually predates that association by a long way and is a common motif in many arcane scriptures, alchemy amongst them. TPoH draws on a lot of esoteric practices and has hidden ‘extras’ throughout, particularly to do with alchemy and tarot, but religious subtext isn’t my jam- I’m not against religions, but I’m very neutral on the subject and not massively interested or educated in them, so incorporating one in my story was never an aim (I’m not exactly qualified to do so…)
If you interpret it that way that’s cool, but that’s your own affair; it wasn’t put in on purpose! The story is just a wild creature that came out of nowhere, so there are no intentional parallels to any religions.

I’m going to be away next Sunday so there won’t be an update then, but I will try to get back on things asap and build up a buffer for when I’m away in France!
Do you like TPoH? Do you like Tintin? Do you like the fact that I did that typography by hand despite the fact that I probably could have saved myself a lot of pain by finding the font and downloading it? Well you can enjoy this parody/tribute artwork and plenty more in a tangible form over on my Society6!
Available in either plain lineart or colour version because like I can ever pick.
