Week 10 Jakata Tales B

I don't think this is a Jakata Tale, but I loved it.  The best part is Timma finds a mechanical horse and flies it over to an island.  An automaton!  That will work out so well in my storyline with Icarus finding the eagles.

Week 10 Jataka Tales A

What?! Week 10?!  What happened to Week 9?  I got a chance to hang out in Bizzell again, that's what happened.  Don't worry.  You'll get exciting Week 9 notes, too!  See Kid President up there in the GIF?  That would be me if Bizzel would let me have more than three comics at a time.

I liked the Crows and Owls story.  It made me think of how the Kandavas and Pandavas were advising Yudhistira and Duryodhana when Krishna was trying to negotiate peace.

Week 7 Reading Notes, Switch Up Ancestors of Rama and Sea Route to India

(This frustratingly accurate image is courtesy of Giphy.)

I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon at Bizzell, so I was able to check out some of the Amar Chitra Kama comics from the Reserves.  I read those today, so I'm trading the Extra Reading post notes and the Mahabharata reading will be on that post.
