BOOM

WELL, THEN… LET’S SEE… ANY BLADES IN THERE?

IS THAT WHERE THE ARROW GOES?

YOU SURE IT DOESN’T SHOOT FLAMES?

MAYBE A FABRIC CLUB? A LADIES SLINGSHOT?

PSSHT! JUST BECAUSE YOU WOULD NEVER GIVE A YOUNG LADY SUCH A ROMANTIC GIFT…

APHRODITE, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU TO ABSOLUTELY NEVER WAVE YOUR FAN…

SERIOUSLY? YOU’RE GONNA TRY TO CLEAR OUT THE AUGEAN STABLES AGAIN? BUT YOU SAW IT’S IMPOSSIBLE, HERCULES!!! THAT’S SOME SERIOUS FILTH…

YEAH, BUT THIS TIME, I’M NOT GOING ALONE! I HAVE A PLAN SO GOOD IT’S SCARY!

NEXT TO AUGEAS’ KINGDOM RUNS A RIVER… THE ALPHEUS! AND GUESS WHAT I’M GONNA DO!

RUN AWAY?

NO! THIS’LL BE A PIECE OF CAKE! JUST BUILD A LITTLE DAM AND VOILA! JUST IMAGINE…

THE ALPHEUS WILL COME ROARING THROUGH LIKE A TORRENT, SWEEPING AWAY ALL IN ITS PATH! AND I CAN CROSS ONE LABOR OFF MY LIST!!!

HMM… I THINK YOU’D BETTER THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE… NO WAY! WHY SHOULD I? THIS’LL DO IT!

LOOKS LIKE YOUR RIVER’S BEEN USED TO CLEAN A BUNCH OF GARBAGE ALREADY… ALPHEUS

IT SAYS HERE YOU HAVE TO CLEAN THE STABLES OF AUGEAS, NOT AUGEAS HIMSELF…

I ALREADY TOLD YOU! SAME THING!
