speech bubble on a transparent layer, missing the inside of the O with the fill tool would be my guess! they'd have to be using the fill tool after hand lettering the dialog, which is a choice

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.

FINGERPORI



Alright, this is gonna take some explaining.

An old term for "ski jumper" in Finnish used to be "mäenlaskija", (a compound word made up from the possessive form of "mäki", hill and "laskija", in this case person who goes down something). This still doesn't explain why the ski jumper is counting ski jump hills, but what if I told you that "laskija" can ALSO mean "person who counts something"?

The word "laskea" from which "laskija" (a person or thing that lasks) is very versatile! It can mean to calculate or to compute, to lower down, to let something out/go, to lay (as in to lay pipe), to run into (as in "the river runs into the lake") etc etc.

BONUS FINGERPORI



Now this is completely untranslatable. In the original strip the team had found the tomb of the King of Savonia. People from Savonia have a reputation for being slow and laid back and talk in the folksiest of all Finnish dialects. In the original the king's powerful curse is just a very popular swear ("voi vittu", which is commonly translated as "gently caress you" but actually means "oh pussy") spelled in the Savonian style.

"I bet one of her fellers are comin', Mom! Look how's she cleaning."

Note how the carpet sweeper is plugged into the overhead lamp socket, which was normal before electrical gadgets started to proliferate and builders started wiring houses to support more than just lighting.

I love this comic; I've read much of the infrastructure of the early 1900's and I love seeing this little confirming detail.

What about the Martian mermaids who tried to murder the main cast with a meteorite during the Mars mission? Your son is married to one of them. Did the terraforming kill them all off, or did they just go no contact for justified reasons?

The ground is back to being red again, too, which I think implies the dodos ate all the cannibal plants that sprung up in all of Mars due to DNA Wizard's bullshit. Even when she's not on the (sentient) planet, she still manages to find new ways to gently caress it up.

While a writer could just easily have Doc be the team's science advisor, there's something really nice about how Doc has his own life just going on in the background. Schkade does an amazing job making everyone feel rounded and fleshed out.

Why does every interaction weasel woman have with these assholes involve them trying to shock her with some new "oh, here's how progressive we are" gotcha? Sure, she expressed a desire to eat George the gopher, but it's like she's being indoctrinated in a cult with how much they test whether she's doing "proper" behavior.
