Description
Just a random Ajshar rebel about to be executed, nothing to see here.
I'll let you decide if he's going to get out of this uncomfortable situation or not. XD
___________________
A bit of context! Yesterday I was heading back home for summer, and my train was 3 hours late. After cursing at the whole universe, I started sketching this scene, that perfectly summed up my mood, and decided to finish it today. I made it a bit more lighthearted than originally planned, it was too brutal.
Β Hope you still like it.There's a sequel now.

I sincerly hope that it would start raining right this second.

You mean this isn't a Wile E Coyote mode of transportation?

As someone mentioned, he should be able to twist out of the way to the side or pull/jump himself onto the cannon.
Either he does that or stalls for time. In both cases he should be able to use his claws to get free.
That, or he rides the cannonball, letting the cannon rip the rope Munchhausen style.

Probably, but that would just delay the inevitable most likely!
haha cannonball-riding caracal!

Well, one soldier can't reload the cannon and stop him from escaping at the same time. Β

You're right. Nothing to see here.Β Never is bad have a new belly button, I suppose....

This is actually a form of execution
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed it is!

It was called blowing the gun

Yep!
π: 0 β©: 1
ohhh, other, more literal way of Cannon Fodder!
But I sort of think he would LOVE to be the "grunt infantry" sort of cannon fodder, right now!
I have always thought this method of execution to be so... needlessly gory. And showy. I know many executions where for show, but... ouch!
π: 0 β©: 1
haha yep! XDΒ he'd definitely prefer it!
I guess it would have effect in terrorizing those assisting to it. Guts flying everywhere and all

Can he talk his way out? Am tempted to make a Saw joke too. XD

haha we shall see, there will be a sequel

The situation is too comic to end up badly
also
You don't want to draw all the gore splats of him dying, even if that would be interesting exercise on splatters and guts.

haha we'll see, I have a sequel almost ready! XD
It would be a bit excessive even for my standards haha

haha it would have been confusing without it!

Hello:
Β Well, challenge accepted... specially if Herimash guys are more agile than random humans... although that might just mean to extend the unavoidable? DX.
Β Poor kitty, but maybe his distress is our amusement, right? .
π: 0 β©: 1
haha we'll see, I have a sequel planned!
Of course, we all love kittens in distress here

Β Ohh? That is something I am sure want to see
Β Indeed ... want me to follow your example then?

He's not dead yet! XD

I look the next panel, and i think: "Poor guy"

That's quite an expensive way to execute prisoners. I mean, this empire may win on the terror aspect, but they will run their economy to the ground just on the execution expenses.

For sure, probably reserved just for the rebel leaders!

It does seem like it was. Pretty damn wasteful and overly messy. Can't imagine the Brits gaining many friends by doing it, either. Actually this seems like one of those terror tactics that actually turn against their practicers. But I digress...
Neat artwork, as always.

He didn't say you couldn't BRIBE your way out...

Well, I have a sequel planned, we'll see how it will end ...

Hey its ok, this is how Baron von MΓΌnchausen probably started off as well. Chin up and soon you'll be ridding canon balls and crashing Turkish parties in no time

haha indeed, just a matter of practice! XDΒ cannonball-riding caracals for the win!

Thank you a bunch!

hahaha you have the oddest "vent" drawings

It was way more brutal originally! XD I decided to make it "funnier"
π: 0 β©: 0
That's one very gruesome way to go. Jeez!

At least it should be quick! D:

I'm probably the only one who knew where you got that idea from. Β
This form of execution was real. Β The most notable case was in India when it was ruled by the British Empire. Β The British army did this to Indian rebels just to make an example. Β I even saw an old photo of one of those rebels tied to the cannon with British soldiers in the background.
And the British thought the Indians were savage! Β

I got it indeed from that event! What the British did to the captured rebels was horrible. D:
Alas, you were not the first

*must-resist-urge-to-make-mean-comment*
fails at it. Sorry:
I'm afraid somebody else already knew from where this idea comes from -points some earlier comments-.
...
sorry for being an ass <__<
