And when thou eatest thy ortolan, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to eat the ortolan standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. But thou, when thou eatest thy ortolan, crawl beneath thy table cloth, and when thou hast covert thine head, chomp thy ortolan in secret; and thy Aunt Fritzi which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Yeah, same. I'll be half-aware I'm dreaming, imagining a store filling up with impatient customers and go "gently caress this, not on my time!" and either force myself awake or walk out.

Apparently they've dialed Ethel's negative character extremes back quite a bit in recent decades, but um...she's also gone through some design changes.






That last one's a miniseries, and on the one hand, it takes a serious approach to the number being a high school crowd's designated punchline would do on you in the long term. On the other hand...well, there is such a thing as overcorrecting.

The first two were way too comprehensible so let's have a third one:

Tanko = (metal) bar
Tangot = (metal) bars
Tangot (or is it tangat?) = skimpy underwear, not sure exactly what kind or where the name comes from but think strings or such

In Dutch, thong underwear was first referred to as "tanga" before g-string or string underwear became the more common turn. No idea either what language it originates from, though. Brazil, perhaps?

I wonder if Sisqo knows.

Oh, Jesus. I didn't understand yesterday's comic at all until this one. Has Maggie's sister been seen before? Good thing there's a perfectly eager replacement around, Planck!

Some Guy TT posted:

She had lines in the train scene when they were kids and also the dinner scene where Copper didnt show up. Since I knew she would be important, I had to make a point of giving her a name, and it matches Maggie's (they have a themed name in Korean) but didn't realize until the last update that "May" without context doesn't really sound like a name. The second part of your comment made me realize that a lot of the plot of Demons of Baseball can be theorized in terms of Lacanian psychology. But I probably shouldn't explain what I mean by that, because spoilers, and also because I'd be really surprised if the author ever thought of it in those terms.

Thanks for explaining! I struggle with characters' intentions and motivations in this comic occasionally, but I think that's more down to cultural misunderstandings than your translation efforts. Speaking of which, thanks for posting it, I'm really enjoying it.

I keep thinking about how miserable the Big Bread's life must have been if all it took was Um Bread sharing a little porridge with him to convince him "Well, that does it. I'm going to kill that Dr. Birb at the cost of my own life."

I think it was a Frankenstein's monster situation for Big Bread. Poor guy.

When does Archie pivot to pivoting between Betty and Veronica? That 50s parody strip was mocking him for having a hard time choosing (because it called them identical) but in this early stuff he almost totally disregards Betty.
