  Fan theory: "darting" requires you to be constantly shamed. He can fly in issue one because of how he felt when defeated by Martius. As he ran out of gas, Miss Tilbury was his only alternative.

  "This mysterious man with no history, papers, or ID would like to adopt this 15-minute-ago orphaned child instead of him going to his aunt and uncle? Sure. Why not? I see no issues"--CPS of "The Dart's" universe, I guess.

  I think it's time for a gritty deconstructionist reboot of the Dart.

  I love the Mario accent for the recently-revived Ancient Roman.

  "Out of that costume, Ace. Let's see what's going on downstairs!" - Aaaand, there's the origin of The Ambiguously Gay Duo

  Maybe the secret of "Darting" was the ability to keep a sword impossibly sharp and multi-purpose.

  Oh god, they really made Wheeler more pathetic as he gets more and more berated for his masculinity.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Serjk7FfTdI&amp;t=810">13:30</a> Wheeler: &quot;Please hire me &nbsp;to teach Roman history at your institution.&quot;<br>Principal: &quot;Wonderful. Our previous history teacher came down with an unexpected case of sword-in-head. Go right in; I believe they were about to start on the Parthian campaigns of Marcus Aurelius.&quot;<br>Wheeler: &quot;I&apos;m sorry, who is that? I was mostly going to talk about fighting wizards.&quot;

  This comic is the equivalent of an essay that was assigned a month ago, yet started on Sunday afternoon before it&apos;s due on Monday morning.

  Caius should actually be spelled “Gaius”. It’s a very common misspelling due to Old Latin orthography from the early republic.<br><br>In fact, the letter G in the Latin alphabet was developed by a Roman name Ruga because he was annoyed with people mispronouncing his name reading it spelled as Ruca. Latin originally didn’t distinguish between C and G in their alphabet and used C for both. This is why the Latin G looks so similar to the letter C despite its Greek equivalent Γ looking very different. The letters I and J and V, U, and W have a very similar history to this as well.<br><br>Jeez, who would’ve thought this comic would have such a poor understanding of ancient Roman orthography? I am shocked and appalled

  I’m going to need a “Why don’t you become a real man, like the Dart!” t-shirt. That part had me dying!🤣

  &quot;This book never explains why he needs a secret identity.&quot;<br><br>YES IT DOES. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Serjk7FfTdI&amp;t=580">9:40</a>. &nbsp;THE DART NEEDS A SECRET IDENTITY BECAUSE IT WILL GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO LOOK AROUND. &nbsp;IT&apos;S RIGHT THERE. &nbsp;TO LOOK AROUND.
