Oh lord that really is much stupider. Not to mention creepy. In one panel we go from "I was trying to murder your mother with my bare hands" to "in love." :mad:

Ok, time to nerd out here a second.

There's NO loving WAY that book got a 9.8. How do I know a fake book in a fake comic didn't get a 9.8? BECAUSE THE loving TOP INCH IS CHOPPED OFF. Look at it! The publisher logo is chopped, the title is chopped. No respectable grading company would look at that and say "yup, that looks right."

Also, if she's just collecting for completion, I find it hard to believe she can't find a reading copy in VG or lower for a reasonable price.

- The report on suburb problems as commissioned by the city is finally complete
- This night will be uncomfortably hot, on Thursday night there might be frost


Lähiöiden is the pun. Lähiö means "suburb" and lähiöiden is its plural possessive form ("suburbs' problems"). That word comes from the prefix lähi- which means "near/close/coming". means night and its plural possessive form happens to be öiden*, making it "the coming nights' problems". Just in case you were wondering, this was a pretty clever pun.

*Öiden has the same plural possessive -iden suffix as lähiöiden. To achieve that, the y is dropped because otherwise there'd be three vowels in the same syllable and that's just not how Finnish works. Oh yeah, y is strictly a vowel, identical to the German ü. Like in many other European non-English languages, j is used for the "yod" sound (/j/). The "jay" affricate (/dʒ/ etc) doesn't exist.

Fok_It unfortunately needs a TL note:
"Tossing/wetting one's winter coat" means to take the first swim of the year after the winter. Pools don't count.

I for one want equal representation in my ruthless corporate CEOs.

I don't understand this joke. Ms. Trellis is the billionaire owner of the company, and as far as I can tell, Wendy is directly below her. The next two in importance seem to be Dethany and Fistula. The entire management of this company seems to be women, except for the head of IT. Actually, the only other employee I can remember is that guy whose only traits are being lazy and dumb. I'm pretty sure he's not in charge of anything.



I think this is the first time I've seen any of the characters acknowledge the trapeze.

Settle down, it looks like Batiuk just fudged the art a little. It looks like the grading bit is a sticker on the front of a bag covering up the top part of the comic. He probably just wanted to show off more of the cover's art in the panel rather than just the title and a bunch of word balloons.

And I understand that to a degree, hence the "let me nerd out for a minute." However, every slab I've ever seen/received, the comic is in full view and cannot be blocked at all by a grading sticker.

I don't understand his choice to show more of the cover art when a) we already saw it on Sunday in full view and b) you can't read anything on it anyway. He could've just as easily zoomed perspective back for the same effect and correctness.

This is all utterly nitpicky bullshit in a story that has other issues, I just felt a comic fan like Batiuk wouldn't have made such a glaring mistake.
