Thank you for your positive reactions! Given how I handled the characters, I wasn't quite sure if it would go down well. I'm glad that you are all good sports! There are times when strip TT says something that real TT might not (not that I mind - the strip is huge fun). But, in terms of me making a "ginger" remark in relation to the Ginger Mercenary to wind up Paula, it's spot on

I'm always happy to egg Hugbot on, or any of the fellow readers, especially TT. Fun, fun, fun! Edited by Paula on 30-09-2026 18:59 Resist the Host

Simon Templar, I presume? Actually, that's an inventive way of keeping up a hat, as long as it doesn't get too wet. Plus you'd always be ready for a quick game of frisbee at lunchtime. |

Actually, that's an inventive way of keeping up a hat It's based on a story that my mother told me. She attended a funeral where one of the guests, obviously lacking appropriate headwear, had fitted a borrowed hat with a cardboard ring. At the graveside, he respectfully took off the hat, oblivious to the fact that the cardboard ring was still stuck around his cranium. My mother had a hard time not to laugh out loud (which would have been highly inappropriate given the circumstances!). |

I feared that this old chestnut might come up. Time to lay this notion to rest. While I’d be the first to make jokes about German bureaucracy, terrible German TV series etc., the cheap jokes about the allegedly 'harsh' German language simply drive me up the wall. After all, this is the language in which I write stories to express myself for about 56 years now. And the joke is plain simply stupid as it is based on a pronunciation that does not exist and never existed. Nobody talks like this. Remember, this is the language in which Silent Night was originally written. Can you imagine that song being sung in the tone of the mad Austrian? And in particular Schmetterling happens to be a very lyrical word, very apt for these delicate creatures. Sorry for the rant, but this is actually one of my pet peeves. To clear up matters further, see today’s strip: Episode 1162 |
