The Vagabond of Limbo Musky getting along with the guard because he asks questions and expresses curiosity instead of making assumptions is pretty sweet. Too bad he was working with the bad guys.

Wait, Musky's NB?

sounds like the Eternauts are non-binary through their adolescence as a whole Musky has been presenting as masculine so far, though. At least as far as I can tell, I guess "prince" could be an ungendered term that got mangled in the translation from space languages to French/English.

Presently NB might have been a more accurate way to put it. I'd be surprised if 'prince' in French is non-gendered though, the Romance languages are mad keen for gendering nouns in gen(d)eral. Giraffes (une girafe)are feminine and monkeys (un singe)are masculine, for example. I just googled those examples, don't @ me.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:sounds like the Eternauts are non-binary through their adolescence as a whole The Prince is their father. Musky is "the son of the Prince of the Eternauts", which is explicitly male-gendered in French as well. They have been presenting as male so far for political convenience, but are happy to explain things to people who show interest. They are also blatantly flirting with Axel, in case people haven't picked up on that yet. Eternauts stay on puberty blockers until they have found their partner, as partially explained in their introduction:

Axel's being really rude to the shapeshifter when he full knew what he was getting into. vOv Is Musky going to turn out to be Chimeer at the very end? :v

Time for Nick & Lever! April Fool's day Forced entry A Major Discovery (Lever repping SA in this one.) (That last page, such high quality for what is essentially a silly gag comic.) Loser (I saw some notes from the translator, in the original Japanese Nick's manner of speaking is supposedly very childish.) Lever's Morning (Meanwhile Lever's Japanese is very polite and feminine, also that backpack he's wearing in the last page is apparently of a type for elementary school kids.) (Over all, in terms of the Japanese they use, Nick & Lever are supposedly perfectly fluent and understanable but switch between alphabets arbitarily giving the impression of foreigners speaking correctly but without knowing the naunces a native speaker would.) As you've all heard Nick & Lever has ended, well more accurately it had ended a while ago but now translations have reached the end. We've still got plenty of chapters for me to procrastinate over actually posting! We haven't even hit peak Nick & Lever yet and my favourite chapter is still on the horizon. I believe the translations were a one man effort so shout out to them, I'm just grabbing these from Mangadex to share because I genuinely think more people need to see these.

Clean Your Teeth posted:Scoob and Shag Since it's been over a year since the last update(!), a brief recap: The big picture: The 'good toons', led by Scoob & Shag broke Velma and some others out of Mickey Mouse (bad toon)'s prison, but not before Mickey had filmed Velma's "format" power. Mickey then used the tape to wipe most of Earth's memory and brainwash them into believing the Toon's had been in charge forever, becoming President of the USA in the process. The small picture: It's ~2 months later & halloween! A bunch of trick-or-treaters encountered Eddy (sans Ed / Edd), and he ate them or something? An unrelated teen is trying to get to a party on the subway but it mysteriously stopped, seemingly for a few hours though other passengers say it's been days and have gone all Lord of the Flies...

One again checking in to state how much I really love Prince Valiant. I really love this sea panel here in panel 3: The weird gray pillars on the left are a little weird, but otherwise I like the stylistic choice for the sea and sky and the detailed bird is a really nice touch.

Captain Hygiene posted:Rain shafts? Yeah I assumed it was rain, too, though even so it looks a little strange to me. Also because it looks fairly sunny with the high-contrast shadows? I dunno. I'm not exactly gonna lose sleep over it and don't think it negatively impacts the panel or anything. It was just a bit of an eyebrow-raiser in a panel I otherwise loved.

Why surround yourself with the fabled fruits, wines and dusky Mediterranean maidens of sun-kissed Italy, when you could go a couple of miles and witness Roberta Jenkins, professional eel-smoker and whelk-scraper, looming through the fog? e: come to think of it my mother's family is a mix of Cornish and Italian so, I'm probably the direct result of someone attempting to put that poster into practice?

You probably meant "smoker" as in hanging the meat in smoke to preserve it, but I definitely first pictured someone lighting an eel on fire and sucking in the smoke.

MAJOR Chapter 5 Koshien is referencing a pretty important high school baseball championship that's apparently similar to March Madness in popularity. There's actually a documentary about it called Koshien: Japan's Field of Dreams that I recommend (I randomly found it via my library's streaming service when I was reading this originally.)
