A great follow up to a masterpiece. Following Arthur instead of Linus this go round was intriguing. I laughed out loud multiple times at things the kids would say. 

I found myself really finding the deeper meaning behind the story. It really breaks my heart how close this is in line with actual events that are happening right now.

I hope that we can all get to the place where the people of Marsyas were at the end, where everyone fought for equality and the call was finally heard.
