Also it's something people haven't actually used in years not even ironically and doing so proves what a giant loving hateful idiot nerd whoever uses it is

I think just making a really quality drawing/design would be enough of a troll because I doubt the Evanses could do it justice. Plus it would have a chance of winning. e: the dress looks really good by the way, did you do it yourself?

Nah, Google image search came through for me. My own efforts would have been much closer to what they have up in their image guidelines. Just not as good. Someone submit a dress that's just a gradient.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Is there a reason why Hyeh-ran begins so many of her sentences with "Gee"? I'm guessing it's a Korean quirk that doesn't really translate because it sounds odd in English. She actually ends her sentences with "ghee". It's a verb modifier, verbs coming at the end of the sentence in Korean. But it's also a nonsensical one, the meaning of which is known only to Hyeh-ran. If I met someone who talked like this in real life I'd assume they started as a child and no one ever bothered to correct them. Last time I was in the thread I was doing more literal translations but these days I'm more into context. Gee at the beginning of the sentence is, in my opinion, about the same level of weird in English as "긔" at the end of the sentence is in Korean. Now that I'm making bilingual versions again this will make them easier to nitpick. Assuming anyone else in this thread can read Korean anyway. It's All Right Chief Dharma  I never bother to translate "선배" because the best English word for it is "Senpai", which isn't even real English and would probably just confuse people into thinking this is a Japanese comic.  ...And while we're on the subject, when it comes to comic nerd characters, how does Duk-hoo rate? To me he seems a lot less obnoxious than anyone from Working Daze or Intelligent Life, even though his hobbies are presented in a stranger light. Maybe that's why- because Park Seung-hoon knows that Duk-hoo is weird, but doesn't hate him for that. Oh yeah, and Deok-hoo's name is actually a pun. Hint- his surname is Oh, so his full name is Oh Deok-hoo. Some Guy TT fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Sep 17, 2016 |

There was a strip where a pickpocket tried to steal his Mikuru figurine and it was better than the entire runs of Intelligent Life and Working Daze put together.

So based on the strips from the 30's and how prudish life was back then, how did people ever get around to loving?

The Classic Dinette Set can't put a price on memories. Working Daze can't even pull off a boobs 'n' butt pose.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix posits an impossible choice.

If I met someone who talked like this in real life I'd assume they started as a child and no one ever bothered to correct them. I undersand if it ends up being a pain, but would it be possible to put the korean in the whitespace instead of the english? It's a little harder to get the comic's flow like this.

Maybe that's why- because Park Seung-hoon knows that Duk-hoo is weird, but doesn't hate him for that. He seems better because while he's a nerd it isn't automatically treated like that makes him a hero of the world to identify with, but also not a repulsive weirdo.

tiercel posted:Can you have an active volcano on a coral atoll? Doesn't that more or less violate the definition of an atoll? Yup. Atolls are dead volcanoes that have sunk down to where the only thing sticking out of the water is whatever accumulates on the surviving coral reefs. You can't fall off a cliff on one, either, but she managed that too. I don't think Jam Esallen knows what an atoll is. Calaveron posted:So based on the strips from the 30's and how prudish life was back then, how did people ever get around to loving? They managed somehow. My mom's dad's folks had sixteen kids and lived in a one-room shack. The kids all knew not to bother them if they went down to the riverbank. He was born in 1919 and was one of the youngest.
