What an Old Lady Can Do for the Greek Gods

Earlier this year, French cartoonist Boulet (aka Gilles Roussel) focused his annual 24-hour comic on the Greco-Roman gods, specifically Zeus and his near-defeat at the hands of renewed Titans. However, mortal woman Genevieve Menard was there to save the day, and thus The Gaeneviad began:

In as much as there it is mildly NSFW with male nudity, The Gaeneviad is a wonderful, humanizing romp through the Olympian gods’ confusion over humans. In addition to their theology, there’s a philosophy behind Zeus’s favor of Genevieve that makes the story insightful while also amusing:

“In our celestial patheon made of blood, fire and steel, we could really use an old lady helps wounded birds.”
