OMG! What the hell is this? A TLK-based comic? Hell, yes! 8D
OK, calm down, I was inspired by 's wonderful comics, so I decided to adapt the audiobook called "Friends For Life" into a comic, since, as far as I know, I haven't see any "comic" adaptation of this audiobook.
This story, "Friends for Life", is about the friendship between Kopa (Simba's and Nala's son in TLK6NA) and a hyena cub named Asante. This story is very short and quite simple, so I decided to draw a comic based on that script, but I may introduce a few changes to make the story more interesting, since I think the friendship between a lion and a hyena can make a rather good story.

Let me explain this page first:
If you remember the first film, Mufasa said that the Elephant Graveyard was already out of the kingdom's borders, so the hyenas actually didn't even live in the kingdom, so, when Simba didn't allow them to return to the graveyard, the hyenas were forced to live even more far away than the kingdom's borders, this means, far away even than the Elephant Graveyard, but, if they didn't live in the kingdom, how could Simba accuse them of treason? Because even if Mufasa didn't allow them to live in the Pridelands, they were allowed to hunt as long as they respected the balance of the Circle of Life (but they didn't), so, when they helped Scar to kill Mufasa, they were guilty of killing "their" king.

Well, kinda my theory... The "relationships" between hyenas and lions are hard to explain...

I never continued it. There was another artist who had already adapted this story into comic format so I lost interest in it.

The first panel says "...allowed to return AT the elephant graveyard..." it should say "... allowed to return TO the elephant graveyard..."

I don't know where to find it, since it is in German and it seems it wasn't translated officially to other languages, but if you want, you can read an English translation made by other TLK artists here ->www.akril15.com/tlk/FriendsFor…

Wow.... what a great story. : 3Β 


Perhaps we can imagine that there's aΒ continued story. Because it's the circle of life. Perhaps a few histories repeat themselves. Imagine that of the hyenas don't get enough food and water, why not following another king such as Scar to come back. XD


It is only a fewΒ Imaginations. And, Pool, nice try of the comic. Excellent!

Sorry, I didn't understand very well the Circle of Life thing you just said
Anyway, thanks!
For the Hyenas following another king like Scar, it's an idea I don't like, because its so much clicheΓ©, and I don't think the hyenas (or at least Shenzi) would be so stupid to believe another lion's promises. If they believed Scar its because I think they used to be friends (you can see they were friends since their teens in the book "A Tale of two Brothers"), and also I don't think there could be another lion that wanted Simba's family dead to become king of Pride Rock just like Scar did.

So, that script would be like copying the first film, and this comic is already based in an existant story, a german audiobook

I thought it was completely your idea including the script. But it is a good audiobook story to listen before going to bed, because it isΒ positive. Could you listen to the german audiobook and understand Germany language? It is still amazing. : 3

Oh my, no, I don't understand german, though I wish I could, and I hope I can learn german in the future.
Thanks to other TLK fans, the audiobook was translated into English, here you can see the whole script in English ->www.akril15.com/tlk/FriendsFor…

Oh my, is true! How could I forget Kati-kopa's? I used to be a great fan of her comic "Hidden Stories", but then she became really inactive, and now she's submitting the comic... in german D:
And thanks Rinja! you and your comics are great inspirations!
