In Greek Mythology there was only one sphinx ever mentioned and it was this one, specifically a female with a lion's body and eagle wings. The Egyptian sphinxes were different and could be represented by either sex.
I don't understand the sphynx mini-joke. 4 in the morning because she's with a man. 2 in the afternoon because she's walking the streets. But why 3 in the evening?
The “day” is actually an entire life, and the answer is a human being. Walks on four in the morning, ie when they were a baby and crawled. Afternoon: Two, on legs. Healthy & adult. Evening: Cane, as they are old. I still think it’s a weird kinda riddle, but meh. xP
Oh, wait, you mean the whore thing? xDD;; Re-read after I typed all that… Heh, well people who had never heard it before can get it now I guess! xD
I totally think random chick was right. XDDD That makes the most sense, and made me giggle. XD
I'm pretty sure Oedipus's dad wasn't wandering the roads alone. Didn't Oedipus kill his dad and all of his dad's guards? Its been forever since I've read it, but I'm pretty sure Oedipus killed all the guards, thus increasing his badassery.
You're probably right! It's been five years since we read that story, too, in English class, so I'm not too big on the details, but that would make more sense ey, rofl.
I just thought you should know, even though it’s a bit late. He killed his father in the olympic games…discus throw went into the stands and decapitated a man…who happened to be his father. Also I’m loving your comics so far, they’re hilarious. (If I’m wrong I blame Sophocles)

That would have made it so much fucking easier.

I don't know! It wasn't supposed to make sense, haha. That's a great interpretation, though!

3 since the person uses a cane. So legs = 2, cane = 1, legs + cane = 3.
*just some random chick with an emo fringe*
maybe the 3 in the evening = pole-dancing? fitting with the whore theme kinda but myeh idk
SacredEnix
I think three in the evening because she’s giving a blowjob on her knees.

kevinzana was right, but to explain it further:
The “day” is actually an entire life, and the answer is a human being. Walks on four in the morning, ie when they were a baby and crawled. Afternoon: Two, on legs. Healthy & adult. Evening: Cane, as they are old. I still think it’s a weird kinda riddle, but meh. xP

Aye, but to be fair, this story WAS made famous by a play of the same name . . . Transcripted by Sophocles! Woo!
You guys are so silly. Much love!
