Kugai:
Marten's gonna have to wear a disguise around the place for at least the next 12 Comics now. :D
Marigold does look a lot cuter without her glasses though.
And now for something completely different

--- Quote from: Tuitsuro on 04 Nov 2009, 14:35 ---'Anime' is a bastardization of a bastardization (Of Japanimation, and of Japanese Animation respectively) and I'm pretty sure there's a linguistic rule stating that double bastards in the English language can use whatever plurals they damn well please, since they're already sticking their middle finger up at the language as a whole anyway.
--- End quote ---
That's not really true. "Anime" has nothing to do with "Japanimation"; that's just a term the marketing execs came up when no one would have known what "anime" was. It's a shortening of "Animeeshon," a loanword form English meaning - oh, guess. If you watch subbed anime, you'll hear it when they're talking about animation, from any country; for example, in the opening rant of Haruhi, Kyon says "anime" and "manga," which is kept in the dub, but translated as "cartoons" and "comic books" on the subtitles since they wouldn't necessarily be Japanese. We just use the Japanese word for Japanese cartoons.
Heranje:
I'm now trying to figure out what "Double Bastards" would be a good name for.
ndperfesser:
So if more than one louse is lice
And more than one mouse is mice
Is more than one spouse, spice?
:evil:
epoch:
I guess I'm the only one who thinks Marigold is cuter with her glasses on...
