I had fully intended to have the next strip up today, it being Wednesday. But alas, I don’t have as much time and energy as I used to on a weekday night. So, I promise to take a little bit of tomorrow morning to get things back on track. Stand by!

Good news! Tomorrow’s strip is locked in and ready to post tomorrow morning. HOPEFULLY I’ll get the first Space YAFGC strip up tomorrow as well. It’s looking a little rough, still experimenting with the style, but hopefully we’ll see how it looks together.

Reminds me of the game Mad Gab. Words are smooshed and then broken into different words that have the same sounds, and players have to guess the original phrase. Fun game. I used it in my English class and also as a demo of how English is confusing lol
Really enjoying this!
And I thought Jaegerspeak was hard once upon a time. Translation please?
"The prisoners are being a liability for us now."
"It's time we take care of ??? problems in the hole."
Yeah, I can't figure out what "wharl wee" translates to.
Amazing! O.O
"It's time we take care of our wee problems in the hold", I think. I find imagining a Scottish accent helps
Scottish? I thought pirates were all West Country…
Thanks for all the translators though, I'm needing subtitles for this, possibly the word breaks are causing me most trouble though.
Not an expert here: But as I understand it, the stereotype pirate voice "Yahhr ahoy-matey!" comes from a long tradition of poorly imitated Cornwall accent by American actors. Since Cornwall is supposedly the point of origin of many famous pirates? I know Edward Teach (Blackbeard) was from Bristol, though. Famous port-town and my family origin.
The hollywood pirate speech came about because Robert Newton, who played Long John Silver in Disney’s Treasure Island (1950) (vs. Wallace Beery in a 1934 production), its sequel Long John Silver, and Blackbeard (1952), spoke using an exaggerated form of the West Country accent from where many English pirates originally came from.
Maybe "our wee"?
Subtitles plox?
Just when I think I understand, I get fraznaed.
So why did they kidnap those two in the first place if they're just gonna "taked kay ro wharl weep ro blemzin daholed"?
Because they either have The Map, or at least should know where it is.
Named monkey, in a cage.
I look forward to this.
t!
I would guess that Socks is Chekhov's monkey.
If Socks and Cap'n Fang can get Katherine a sword, they'll be fine until the cannonball hits.
Oh wow! Looking forward to tomorrow :3
