Dismem-Boar-Ment page 22

At the beginning of the comic, when I connected with Artemis, I figured enough people were familiar enough with Greek mythology that she probably didn't need an introduction. On my last comic page in this series, however, I introduced Herne the Hunter, and knowing that not as many people had heard of him, an introduction seemed appropriate.

I still remember vividly the moment I first read the words "Lord of the Forest" because they resonated so deeply inside me. There is a tightly knit web within me of my love of animals and nature, of camping and archery, of childhood heroes (Tarzan, Daniel Boone, Davy Crocket, Robin Hood) and my matron goddess Artemis, of the wild and innocent Unicorn heart that beats in my chest. Herne, the Lord of the Forest, is hard-wired into me. He's who I want to be when I grow up, which makes the pages immediately following this one so extremely humbling. 

Stay tuned!...
