"Whose wife?"
"yes."
ankhtahr:
What is it with Jeph and German phrases? I've noticed him using them multiple times now. (Though the reason he used them with Ellen Allien was pretty obvious)
AENGF: Auf Wiedersehen is the most common German term for goodbye. It doesn't necessarily mean "See you later". On the other hand, when we know that a farewell is likely to be final, we often use "Lebwohl!" (which translates to "Have a good life"), so this comic doesn't need to be final.
Somebody:
Careful May, your goodbye is dangerously close to "drooling moe bimbo" territory ;)
bhtooefr:
There's segments of American culture where a few German phrases have snuck in to normal English speech. Auf wiedersehen is one of them.
Another example, when someone wants to use a secular response to someone sneezing, "gesundheit" is the typical choice. (The default is "bless you", or sometimes extended to "God bless you" (mainly when the person being addressed is having a sneezing fit, and therefore the blessing needs to be emphasized).)
techkid:
Okay, that one had me feeling "The Feels" :cry:.
Can't help but wonder what will become of May. Having invested so much in her development, I doubt Jeph will cast her aside for too long.
