Extra Untranslatable Fingerpori





Jarla has moved to the next level. No longer content with compound words, he is now using words that aren't even connected to make his puns.

In Finnish, "no thank you" is "kiitos ei" ("kiitos" being "thank you" and "ei" being "no"). As you can see, they are not one word that could have a funny alternate meaning! But if you say them close together, they sound like "kiitosei", which CAN be a compound word of "kiito" (speedy, speeding, zooming etc) + "sei" (our word for pollock).

And so we end up with a piece of pollock on a skateboard.

E:

and Atlantic Pollock is a type of fish.

The schedule here turned out to be pretty accurate -- the first successful Venus flyby, Mariner 2, was three and a half years later in December 1962, and the first successful soft landing on Venus, Venera 7, was December 1970. On the other hand, that "conquer all foreseeable problems of terrain, atmosphere, and surroundings"...

Bonus Ad! If you thought "Live Laugh Love" was an exclusively 21st-century phenomenon, here it is in 1976.

So I wanted to understand the Kevin and Kell world a bit better, and started to read the background. And, uh :wtc:

quote:

Kevin and Kell takes place in a town called Domain, populated entirely by animals. According to the comic, its world was created by an organization of birds, commonly referred to by fans of the comic as the "Great Bird Conspiracy" (GBC). Birds were the next species after humans to reach sapience. After humans left the planet, the birds traveled back in time to create a world without humans, and gave intelligence to fauna. However, their plan to remove the predator-prey relationship failed and as a result, the world created is similar to that of twenty-first century Earth, but with a greater likelihood of a violent death.

Yeah so it just happened to work out identically to the point where not only is the history identical to the year, and all the historical characters identical, but they also have exactly the same popular culture staples, bands, movies, books and superheroes as we do! Except they're all animals!

Amazing world building, holbrook.

quote:

Moonies
The Unification Church, led by the Reverend Sun-Myung Moon, was a cult religion started in the 50's. It became prevalent in the 1970's and 80's when the group became controversial due to its political activism.

And that marks the end of Spring 1983. Tomorrow we'll start the summer, which will be a bit abbreviated due to The Lantern's limited publishing schedule. The strips are more gag-a-day sorts of things.

I can't be arsed to go back and look for the actual strip, because :effort:, but the hockey team was having a lovely game and the coach called a timeout to make everyone stop and sing... twinkle twinkle little star, maybe? it was a very :wtc: moment.



Edit: Okay, I lied. It was easier to find than I thought because it turns out I actually commented on it at the time. (Also, I got the nursery rhyme wrong.)
