Pardon me for intervening, but there’s no need to know the actual intended dialogue to know “have giving” is not correct. It has to be either “have been giving” or “have given”.
I said in a previous strip that Fang is a one-note joke – and I stand by that – but I’m really glad you found a funny angle from which to approach him. Amy’s reaction to him here is absolutely delightful.
My real world reaction to him when I first saw hi the comics was not far off from the reaction Rich gave Amy here. I swear if little floaty hearts were a real life thing…

And she’s already rendered him naked.
And put him on a bed.
He looks cute naked.

i thought he’d be more scaly than furry.
The body language of that little, upturned tailcurl. D’awwww!
She speaks fluent gibberish.
Not gibberish, she understands Fanglish fluently.
This storyline based on "Shooting Star" by Harry Chapin? If not, it should be.

‘Fraid not. I’d never heard this until you linked it.
She’s as looney as him alright & there’s a grammatical mistake in the 1st panel.
Sometimes I don’t talk good LOL
Nothing wrong with the first panel’s speech
The word needs to be put between have & giving.
The word "been".
No, that would make it past tense, possibly even ongoing
I’m not a perfect English speaker, so we will have to wait and see what Rich intended

Didn’t even notice the spelling
"have given" works better than "have been giving" (adding the ‘been’ implies that it is ongoing)
Should never have to apologise for correcting misunderstandings 🙂
It’s how we learn after all
FANG FOR YAFGC MVP!
Aw… so beautiful.
Sometimes, love is blind.
And completely insane.
Ah yes, giving instead of given. Could also be the local dialect. Maybe she speaks cockney.
You say that like it’s a bad thing!
It’s so nice to meet someone who understands you, isn’t it? ^_^
And… Fang looks surprisingly… cute without the pirate getup. Huh. What’s up with that?
Me thinks the pirate gear was worn for the protection of those around him. I mean not everyone can handle the cute.
You mean: cuteness overload?
He’s staring into her eyes … and also into his own, thanks to a conveniently-placed mirror and a serious case of The Googly Eyes™
Wait, if he said the oddest thing, did he speak ‘normal’?
Of all the conclusions, this is the one I least expected.
If Captain Fang is involved, unexpected is guaranteed.
Word Salad for Two! Captain Fang will bring the Salad Dressing!
Those are the most beatiful words I have ever read…sniff
Wait, is that fur?
…I thought Fang was a kobold.
The YAFGC Kobolds are both furry and scaly. The design is loosely inspired by the original Basic D&D Kobold image from the 1970’s.
This is feeling very Back To The Future.
But she’s not his mum.

t!

I knew it! Fang doesn’t suffer from gibberish, just rabid cockney!
