Nemean lions are very aware that they could do a lot of damage if they wanted to, and most are scared of the retribution that would happen if one of them did indeed to off the rails.

Super man lions! :D Hey, how did the doctor/vet end up so scarred? Did another Nemean attack him? Also since he’s indestructible does that mean that being a smoker has no consequences?
He’s a doctor/vet and tends to a lot of Nemean cubs. You can probably imagine how he got those scars now.
Yikes. The one guy who can easily handle every other problem still has to deal with every one of the nemean cubs, for the safety of others. That sucks
That would make sense if he *wasn’t* a Nemean himself. I can’t imagine a cub could do that much damage to an adult Nemean. Now, if there’s a wee baby beastie of a different species that was actually stronger than him, I’d buy it. Either way, I’d love to know more about him.
I remember somewhere in the comic where it was said the only thing that could hurt a Nemean Lion was another one. I suppose that includes cubs.
I went digging through the archives. You can thank me later.

Is that poor doctor getting more scars every time we see him? I hadn’t noticed the chewed ear before.
The chewed ear was there from the first time we saw Dr. Hobbes, in the Jan-Feb 2012 RQs

The doctor had been mentioned before

Kory, how do centaurs dance?
and are hammocks considered rude you to the number of folk who cannot use them? (I have a hammock myself, so I think they are lovely)

That’s awesome, thanks!
Now just add some light sticks and some recreational drugs, and we can join Miss Jackrabbit’s party!
taped to the hooves, as well as in the hands, of course
It’s settled, then. Party at Kory’s!
Well, we thought there would be no more new medallions. If Michelle learns to make them…
I mean that’s where I think the story is going, it’s what I’d write at least, as a fellow comic artist.
Bad Ending. Michelle ends up in the same boat Worset and Jocasta were in, times thousands as she’s the ONE medallionsmith.
Unless she teaches Tony or something.
I wonder if her dad ever took an apprentice? Lots of jewelers do.
Worse ending. Everybody finds out about it, certain parties become violently jealous, things escalate way too quickly to the point of riots and medallion thievery and somehow Michelle ends up stranded somewhere human-y without her own medallion.
And I just gave myself flashbacks of cat-Hermione hiding in the bathroom in Harry Potter 2. XD
Or she discovers a secret village or family of Spinxes. Since we never found out Worset and his family’s fate (he was married I think) it could totally happen.
Michael.Jocasta, in Michelle’s dream/vision thing with him, mentioned the “Jocastas” and the “Wosrets”, which implies that there are other, unturned sphinxes out there.
Are any of the characters anime fans, and if so which ones?
Oh MAN, I’d bet Lily Snodgrass and her mate Paul are. And possibly Lorne, though of very different anime than those two.
Lily’s main friend is the Chechen Wolf, Dean Daud
Are there anteater and/or armadillo totems? CAN WE SEE THEM?
Even in a world with dragons and plesiosaurids, politics and sentient-rights are still a hard topic to deal with.
When Nemean Lion powers got brought up, I started wondering: when something that has passive powers like being invulnerable is in human form, are they still invulnerable? Do any other abilities get transferred over when a medallion mythical is totally human? How about a totem?
I seem to remember that a Bugbear in human form still has that enhanced awareness of their surroundings.
A Nemean Lion could be a superhero when in human form, and claim to be from another planet or something, keeping the secret of the mythical population. Anybody look closely at famous comic book heroes to see if they’re wearing something around their neck?
According to Question 5 in the March 2014 Q&A, Medallioned Nemeans are invulnerable in human form. Unturned Nemeans are merely hard to wound.
