Stylus replaced. And secured.
…. might want to buy a backup stylus later if I can’t find the old one. I have no clue at this point where those sweet gremlins ran it off too. I’ve looked under every piece of furniture, gone all over the basement, even sifted the litter boxes just in case. At this point I assume it fell down a vent or something.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Once you order a new backup stylus, the original will turn up on the day that the backup is due to arrive. Possibly in the form of one of the thieves rediscovering what a fun toy it is and batting it all over the floor.
We had a cat that loved soda pop bottle caps. If he ever heard one drop on the floor, he would come racing in, pick it up in his mouth, and run off with it. One day while rearranging the living room in the process of cleaning (a good way to find the stolen stuff), we found over a 100 of them stuffed under the couch with the hideaway bed. The cat would accidentally stuff them further under when trying to get them out since the couch was so low to the floor. We told him that he gets no more.
Is it possible the cats have an artistic project of their own?
Yes, it’s called “Gunnerkatt Court”. 😁
Ah, the companion piece to Octopuss Pie.
I’ll get my coat…
my “used-cat” (got him last year because he was injured and lost his tail from an unknown accident and his old owner was a homeless man who lived in a tent out in the forrest at that time) likes it to get a black olive after his meal.
Then he tosses it around the floor, extricates it from under the furniture and after about ten minutes he bites it and swallows it down.
So in the end nothing is left over .
In our household I am the one who allways puts the keys in places where I find them weeks later…..
Of course, food is better after it has been pursued and captured and conquered.
I predict you have gained no fewer than nineteen left footed socks in equal exchange from the faeries of the Magical Somewhere. Which expands to as many places as you are comfortable inhabiting, even if a few are in friend’s houses on the other side of your state.
Or y’know the cat took it. It all depends. They don’t play by fairy rules. They are just butts like that. If you have not passed them and paid the taxes and tolls required of you they will take their rightful pay out of you somehow. Which doesn’t extend to food, that’s a penalty not a debt for forgetting.
Ok this is a cute joke XD
It didn’t fall…it was pushed…
Glad you found it. Now to find my missing false teeth. Heaven only knows where they are.
You know… Not only would Todd probably agree her learning to read and write Tensei is probably a good idea… he might want to look a little further to see if there’s a weekend course they can BOTH take to learn Tensei, together.
I mean that’s how I learned Japanese, when it wasn’t an offered elective in my Ontario, Canada high school. It was a small class on Saturdays, that could be counted as course credits for high school, but was open to anyone with an interest, so we had adults and younger kids with their parents in the group as well.
I’m still hoping that we *readers* will be able to learn right along with them!
…so long as thought is put into the writing system and it’s not just a cypher for English, but I expect that won’t be a problem with this comic (given how much thought has been put into the worldbuild). Though just in case: Hey Dave, if you happen to need any help with the conlang aspect, get in touch! I can meet you wherever you are (linguistically) and help you take steps toward where you want to be.
I was confused by something in the last comic, so I went back and looked– Selkie was dropped off at the orphanage when she was five, not three.

Which makes a lot more sense in terms of how much Tensei she knows, a three year old wouldn’t remember much at all.
Te Fahn was guestimating though, and he views her as a baby practically still, as teens do at that age. So him misunderstanding something he likely learned second hand isn’t exactly an issue. It can also be a thoughtless comment on her spoken language grammer or style.
Oh, derp. Thought this was his ah, father speaking still. Yeah Te Fahn is just a bit of a jerk, which is understandable.
What surprised me is that Selkie didn’t correct Te Fahn when she said it.
Huh, I think this is the first time I’ve seen anyone have painted claws.
I’m pretty sure that’s the natural color for the claws. we just don’t see them up close that often.
