“Ever notice how when you enter a large grocery store,
Common items like bread & milk are right at the back,
And the journey there is Labyrinthine?
The layout is designed to confuse you,
So you become lost,
And end up impulse-buying items you don’t need.”

Imagine if your dad was a Minotaur and your mom was a Mermaid and you got the human half of both and now you’re just some guy

“The Search for the Center explores the history and cultural significance of Mazes and Labyrinths around the world throughout time.
Examples range from 5000 BC and Greek mythology to current day religious and ceremonial uses in various cultures.”
The Minotaur Mural!
Forgot all about that one, good to see the colours are still holding up.
There is a simplexity to this drawing by Katie Brookoff.
Numerous Classic Labyrinths have been found along the shores of many islands, continents, seas and rivers.
At High Tide, the fish came in and may have swam up and into the Labyrinth.
As Low Tide gradually approached, any number of fish may have remained submerged in the inclined pockets of water within the lanes of the Labyrinth, yet without any direct watery way of escape.
People presumably returned at Low Tide, picked up their catch, went home and ate well that day.
There is a reasonable assumption that for thousands of years, these simple three and seven lane Classic Stone Labyrinths, created upon inclined slopes to the water, employing knowledge of tidal timings, were Humanity’s original sustainable fish farms.
I tend to agree with this hypothesis.
To illustrate this concept, here is a simple three lane classic Labyrinth that I made last week, upon the naturescaped Habitat Island in Vancouver’s False Creek, just opposite the location of where I recently completed the Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
Evidenced by the darker wet and lighter coloured dry stones in these images…
Tides in False Creek may rise and fall as much as 15 feet in one day!
Now, all we need is for False Creek to be clean enough again.
Who knows?
Maybe then we might catch a Minnowtaur or two!
A mooseotaur?

The Toronto Comics Anthology this year includes the story “The Honest Minotaur” by Steven Andrews (@cardboardshark) and Ally Rom Colthoff (@varethane).
They are currently raising funds via Kickstarter, and it’s also where you can order your own copy.
Books will be available at TCAF – Toronto Comics Arts Festival – in May.
Apparently there's a Toronto Labyrinth Society… their clubhouse is a pain in the ass to find, though, and it involves avoiding a Minotaur.

The Toronto Labyrinth Society IS hard to find… because they are known as the Labyrinth Community Network!
Found this Cartoon in The New Yorker.
Maybe the Toronto Minotaur did this ?
Please call us as we may require more info. ^ga

“We reside within the Labyrinthine basement of The Hospital ; Beneath the Women’s Building. The Stork upon the ceiling should lead you safely to our location. If you take a wrong turn you may run into The Minotaur that stalks the halls. But do not fret. The Beast has a weakness to fire. It may also be lulled to sleep if one were to play Safety Dance on a Pan Flute crafted from the finest oak. Good Luck, Traveler.”
