Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Today's guest optimal optical artist is Pablo "Optimus" Praino. To see more of his stellar work on Hero Academy or check out his deviantArt page. But if you really want to get blown away, you've got to check out his youtube channel. Be warned, it's in Spanish, but it's cool because awesomeness is a universal language.

But let's talk about the conclusion of Voyage of the Dawn Treader. If you haven't seen it, you can here. And if you didn't get it from the clip, I hope the comic clarified it for you. Aslan = Jesus. The movies haven't really emphasized it, but the whole series is essentially a collection of Christian allegories in a parallel way to His Dark Materials, which is an anti-Christian allegory. We did a strip about that actually. And man, that's a lot of links this time.

P.S. Special thanks to for providing the actual text from the book:

"It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?"

"But you shall meet me there, dear one," said Aslan.

"Are - are you there, too, sir?" said Edmund.

"I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."
