footnotes:
* tagged Mature because the violence is getting more and more personal
* (page 88) Vassals were not allowed to carry blades into court. So I extrapolated that servants were not allowed to carry blades when near their master.
* (page 91) Miss Pearl is being vague about her new job description.
* (page 93) Master Li refers to Li Er, or Lao-zi (Lao Tzu). It's not a problem if you don't know that. Just consider them some famous sage that this already very intelligent person reveres.
* (page 96-97) The layout of this is meant for a two-page spread in the print version
* (page 99) If you push someone who isn't ready...

When tradition demanded that only a son of the tribe leader can succeed him, a determined little girl put all her faith in a fairytale that could make her the next chief.
At 172 pages, "Heart of A Colt" was my first graphic novel. The project was started and completed in 2011. The story is simple and the writing even simpler, but the subject matter(s) may not be comfortable for some readers (child endangerment, implied slavery/sacrifice, subconscious death wish, blood, etc.). You can buy the print-on-demand version at IndyPlanet (the amazon version is larger and needed white border padding to fit their size), which includes a few pages of notes on Oracle Bone Script shown in the story. Thank you.
