    Labor Three: CRONUS

    Labor Three: CRONUS

    Download The Journey In today's tale, we learn of Cronus (not Chronos): Grandfather of Greek Mythology, wily son of the heavens themselves, and blind, baby-eating weirdo. From the secret chasms of the Earth's anus, to the mysteries of Chaos's womb, The Wise Man & The Fool go on their most Jack Kirby-inspired journey yet. Who mistook a bowling ball for a baby? Cronus! Who took the balls of the sky for his mom? Cronus! Who is literally the worst dad in all of Olympus (until Zeus comes along)? Cronus!

What are the sordid origins of the world's first and only bull-man? What system of government could possibly revolve around professional wrestling? Why can't Theseus stop killing people? Why did no one mention the giant turtle? Will the Gods ever stop descending things? And most importantly, what's that noise I hear?! Theseus, no! I'm just typing the description!
