The anachronistic indignities continue below.
And just because I can’t resist, here are a couple more from that list I mentioned yesterday:
Mimi (Australian Aboriginal) – Extremely elongated humanoid that has to live in rock crevasses to avoid blowing away
AAUUGHH!
Lidérc (Hungary) – Magical chicken that transforms into a humanoid
Magical…wha? That does…huh? HELP! Shudder. But as usual, the French have the right idea. Here’s a little Gallic palate cleanser for you:
Lutin (French) – Amusing goblin
Ahhh….
I love it! Have you read “The Lightning Thief” series yet?

It’s kind of like a Harry Potter type fantasy, but based on Greek Mythology rather than wizards. I HIGHLY recommend it! heck it out here: http://www.percyjacksonbooks.com/
I showed your comics to a few teachers and everyone agrees we need some graphic novels for elementary kids…about anything and everything! All the mythology ones out are for young adult.
