First time the alt text made me laugh more than the comic itself.

Well, it depends! There is an opposite meaning, which is obviously opposite, but there's also a blocked and a reversed (or upside-down) meaning which are more complex.

You mean this comic has nonhumans?

They may not be Homo Sapiens Sapiens, but I'd have to say they're almost all as human as most people are.

Well, and I know the scene as follows from the movies/TV shows:

Someone draws "Death" -> Ominous music -> Shocked expression(s) -> Fortune teller gives a fauxlosophic speech about the true meaningâ„¢ of the card -> Actors try to look intrigued

The joke's quite good with Tarot giving a concrete answer and thus undermining the fauxlosophic elements.

meaning you dislike it, or that it appears like a manual on your screen? if its an insult, which it sounds like, why are you on here?

It is very confusing its like seeing to people talk anthor language infront of you you feel a little bit left out

oh i am aware that it is a trope, but i dont see it used often.

i must say that "fauxlosophic" is actually a good portmanteau.

So how many 'words' strips are we getting?

Posted: **Thu Jan 07, 2010 8:09 pm**

Words? What do you mean?

Posted: **Thu Jan 07, 2010 8:22 pm**

I think he means the last two comics have been largely "wordy" and less visually active and junk.

Posted: **Fri Jan 08, 2010 1:03 am**

MOON UNIT

Posted: **Fri Jan 08, 2010 1:09 am**

EXCALIBUR? but he already had a nickname.

Maybe his real name was "Richard Griffin".

Posted: **Fri Jan 08, 2010 1:11 am**

Well, the default was "WILD FURRET", so...

So... wait, does he pronounce it "miles" or "mee-leys"? Because the second would be the Latin pronunciation.

Posted: **Fri Jan 08, 2010 8:52 am**

*i'm sorry, but Deathaxe has been taken, please submit a new name*

Then I pick...D3A7HAX3!!1

You would pronounce it 'miles' like a sane person would, because we are not speaking Latin. But that does not mean it's not derived from Latin.

I wonder how long it takes till BLOODGUN comes up... Ten internets for anybody who gets that.

Both Miles and Lucretia seem to be very learned in Roman history, nice touch.

Posted: **Fri Jan 08, 2010 1:52 pm**

"Hmmmm... Brooklyn... i'm Brooklyn!"
"Broadway!"
"Lexington!"

Miles: Nice try

I like to assume parents- *ahem*, good parents do put actual effort into naming their children. Were I to choose my own name now, however, I might go with Sedgewick or Ignatius. I kinda like names with class.

To me, Ignatius sounds like a spell from Harry Potter.

Every decade, but its worth it. OK! back to the current comic (I dont want this to get out of hand).

That's where I saw it actually, I LOVE Lackadaisy. Ignatius is from "A Confederacy of Dunces."

If I could name myself, I'd be something like Emerald Thistle Lovechild (and I have no idea why...)

Posted: **Sat Jan 09, 2010 12:48 pm**

I'd name myself Alex >_>. (Because that's not my IRL name)

Posted: **Sun Jan 10, 2010 9:28 am**

I'd name myself Fredrick. No, seriously.

Posted: **Sun Jan 10, 2010 10:47 pm**

I would name myself Dylan.

*puts on sunglasses*

Yeah..

The ungrateful relatives might have done better to hire a decent broker. *laughs*

I'm particularly hoping to see the ungrateful relatives severely mauled by the wolf pack.

Also, I like the inclusion of government 'bailouts' and the fact that they helped the would-be heirs about as much as the real-deal government aid did (for example) General Electric. NBC isn't something you get rid of when you're rolling in money! *giggles* (Dissension is conservative.)

We don't need another... what was his name, Thor or something?
Or was someone else doing those jokes?
Well we don't need it anyway

...OCEAN'S TWO
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT
