I drew the first panel of this strip without even looking at the previous comic, and only afterwards did I realize that I’d replicated the panel one shot from that previous comic almost exactly. Go fig. Hey, at least Puck has shifted her legs.
For non-English speakers, I’m not sure the word ‘smorgasbord’ will carry the comedic weight it should, but that’s okay. It’s a good word. It’s Swedish. Swedish words are very funny. Just visit Ikea for proof. (Ektorp. Heh.)
But…, if she ain’t got memories, can she even write a memoir?
Not really.
It’s a book of blank pages.
I love IT. “An Amnesiacs Memoirs: A Smorgasbord Of Misery.” and its just a book of blank pages.
Or just a work of pure fiction. Either or.
… Do you seriously worry a lot about a lot of non-English speakers reading your English comic? O_o
I’m not saying there’ll never be one or two, but…
When I first posted these comics on dA, I had a lot of friends from all over the world, and over fifty percent of them were conversant in English but not entirely comfortable with it. Now there’s a wider (English-speaking) audience for the comic, so yeah. Not sweating that point as much now.
Fun fact: Smorgasbord isn’t a real word. English just changed it because we use two letters that’s not in the English alphabet. The real word is ‘Smörgåsbord’ (which – literally – translates to “sandwich table”). You learn something new everyday!
You Swedes and your funny pretend letters. When will you realize that they just aren’t real? 😉
And now I want a sandwich.
M.m.m.m.m. Sandwich.
Swedish sandwiches ROCK.
How have you managed to make a comic strip so uninspiring and uninteresting? You have obviously spent a great deal of time creating these, and you would think that you would grant it a vaguely compelling story line. You have not.
Well, that’s me: always finding new ways to disappoint.
Don’t mind Ed. He’s been cranky ever since his grandpa’s car company tanked.
But hey, Back to the Future is always there to put a cheer in his spirits!
Egad. We ‘mericans know the word just fine, but you misspelled it, it’s “borgasmord.”
I think it’s the doctor’s lunch break time, so he’s got food on his mind.
😉
It happens to the best of us.
