Did one get skipped here? Seems like an abrupt transition from “our heroes go a-questing for a fair maid” to “Gawain bleeds out and also there’s an ogre now,”

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

It's mostly just a highlight reel of a much longer story.

we get two Vals, one is the past when he started out (and he's currently telling his kids about some of his adventures) and then the sunday present day, where Arn is a pure poo poo fine with women and children burned at stake and Katwin would smack the poo poo out of him.

Fingerpori

Raastuvanoikeus = lower court; archaic term used of lower courts located in old cities in Sweden/Finland (Swed. Rådhusrätt)
Raastupa = archaic name for city courtrooms (from Swedish Rådhus; oddly enough Finnish also has the word Raatihuone from the same origin, with roughly the same meaning(?))
Raastua = to become grated
Raastuva = able to become grated
Raastuvanoikeus = court for those who can be grated

(Raati + huone = court + room; "raastupa" is probably the same although "raas" doesn't exist as a singular word afaik. "Tupa" means living room/area, or nowadays more commonly a small wooden hut.)

Knocking off socks is of course a classic comics trope but Mythbusters found it would require being hit by a steel girder moving 65 mph https://mythresults.com/mythssion-control.

So Connie was indeed VERY violent here. As well as having a most remarkable throwing arm.

Here it is, “Boys Like Fun” part 2, it really doesn’t seem so long since we were enjoying part one together, does it? You didn’t expect it to start with Flukeman, did you? So many questions! See, I can still surprise you.

My Patreon subscribers in all but the lowest tier can read the whole of this story (and many more) in a higher-res PDF format right now.

Also I've been meaning to post the various covers previewed for the first two issues of Allison's upcoming 4 issue series The Great British Bump-Off. Issue one has three covers, the standard one by Max Sarin and two alt covers by Dan Hipp and Jill Thompson, although Thompson's cover has yet to be posted online anywhere.



Here are the covers for issue two, again one by Sarin and an alt cover by Lissa Treiman, who also worked on Giant Days

The Demons of Baseball
How do you pick names for characters? I read that article on the comic that translated the title as Scary Alien Baseball Team and I really like your translation of Demons of Baseball to capture the 'scary intense outsider baseball players' feel, it's a lot less literal but I feel hits the described mood of the Korean title better. And clearly you're picking more western given names while keeping family names of characters, but I'm wondering if part of that is to capture connotations of names? Like, Planck is a reference to Planck's constant, right? How did you pick that name? Does Two Guns use a nickname in Korean, too? I know you made Maggie and May match because they're sisters, but does Copper have a metallic name in Korean, is Hardy's name a reference to him being tough? Sorry, I'm just really curious! I'm really really enjoying The Demons of Baseball and I've been sharing it with a friend off-forum that loves it, too.
