When I Am King
When I am King is a wordless infinite canvas webcomic by Swiss artist demian5 about an Egyptian king's travels through a desert. It has an unusual visual style that makes heavy use of oranges and reds, uses arrows to emphasize horizontal movement, and has occasional GIF animation.
Plot
The king of Egypt wakes up, dresses himself in a royal towel and goes for a stroll, but a camel eats his towel. The naked king then returns to the palace but is stopped at the entrance by his two palace guards who don't recognize him, and he leaves when they throw away his crown. As the naked king is mocked by two woman and a group of children, the camel has fallen in love with the king and chases after him. The king eventually makes his way to a shop, but he does not have enough money to buy underwear and buys a cigarette instead. After a brief fight with the group of children, the camel rescues the king by eating one of them. Meanwhile, the two women have a threesome with one of the guards in a giant flowerbed.

When I am King
by: Great Big SeaWake up, without a care. Your head's not heavy, your conscience clear
Sins are all forgiven here, yours and mine
Fear has gone without a trace
It's the perfect time, in the perfect place
Nothing hurting. Nothing sore. No one suffers anymore,
The doctor's found a simple cure.
Just in time
[Chorus]
All these things if I were King would all appear around me
The world will sing when I am King
The world will sing when I am King
She walks right in she don't even knock. It's the girl you lost to the high school jock
She shuts the door and turns the lock, and she takes your hand.
She says she always felt a fool, for picking the Captain over you
She wonders if you miss her, says she always told her sister
how That you're the best damn kisser
That she's ever had
[Bridge]
Daylight waits to shine until the moment you awaken
So you never miss the dawn
No question, now, you know which road you're taking
Lights all green, the radio plays just the perfect song
Well, the war's been won. All the fights are fought
and You find yourself in just the spot
In a place where everybody's got a song to sing.
Just like the final movie scene. The prince will find his perfect queen
The hero always saves the world. The villains get what they deserve
The boy will always get the girl
