JUNE OF ARC concludes in a harrowing finale!
I really enjoyed drawing St. Joan of Arc cartoons this month, so thank you all for humoring me!
If you enjoyed them too, maybe we'll do it again next year. We've only scratched the surface of her amazing story!
___
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
1. Camp-followers were women who followed armies around to make money off the soldiers when they stopped for the day. They were prostitutes with bad prosti-'tudes, man. Other people might follow the camps for good reasons (like cooks and priests), but not these ladies.
2. This cartoon is based on witness testimonies from those closest to Joan. According to them, her response to camp-followers was absolute. She kicked out any harlots she found, sometimes with gentle admonitions, and other times with the flat of her sword.
3. I've heard some people question Joan by saying, "She's not very Christian. Jesus WELCOMED prostitutes." Yes, Jesus welcomed prostitutes. REPENTANT prostitutes, who He forgave and then told, "Go and sin no more." He had a very different reaction to the money-changers in the temple. They disrespected His Father's presence, so He chased them off with a homemade whip. Joan's mission was to guide her army in God's Name. She worked hard to make her men go to Mass, receive the sacraments, and adopt behavior befitting servants of God. Like the money-changers, the prostitutes mocked God's presence by their actions and intentions. So, like Jesus, Joan drove them out. Her only fault was not knowing how to fashion a whip of her own, to make the parallel more plain for her SLANDEROUS, PULING critics!
4. "This is a wholesome Christian war-camp!" is a play on the well-aged meme of Christian Minecraft servers, where you can't swear or post naughty things.
5. "I'll make you marry the next man I find you with!" is an actual threat Joan used, according to one witness during her Rehabilitation Trial.
6. "Walloping" is a good word. Catch me outside.
7. I like drawing Joan and La Hire next to each other because she's so tiny.

🎶 Eric & Donna Playlist #8 - Still The One 🎶
Still The One by Orleans
╰┈➤ Why? This is just a fun song, and a song of the era that Eric and Donna might actually listen to. It’s about being in a relationship with someone for a really long time. Sometimes being so annoyed with them, because the honeymoon phase is definitely over... but at the end of the day they are still the only one you want.
