Translated Panel 2:

Black-and-white thinking. The reason cavemen never can have nice things …
Black and white thinking is what makes ******* Great!!!

Of course birds are the *real* winged serpents. Too bad they had to give up their arms to get wings.
Amended note: Called le Dragon IN FRENCH.
I’d thought Ne was unnecessary in modern French, Pas was sufficient. On the other hand, this is, what, 183-something? And what do I know? I was a German major and in German, the -e ending for dative masculine nouns was still a thing in standard/educated German. So I take it back. Ce ne sont pas indeed.
Frank le Dragon Harr, German major! If I turn all the Frenchmen into Germans, will you do the translations? If not, do you have any French majors handy?
Nem.
😉
NEM Not Elsewhere Mentioned
NEM Normal Endosperm
NEM Network and Enterprise Management
NEM Nutritionally Enhanced Meals (skilled nursing facilties)
But which ONE?
NEM Normen Europäischer Modellbahner
of course! 😉
(German, but no major …)
Thanks JuL! It’s all clear to me now!
Normal European Modelling Standards (NEM) are standards for model railroads!
Wait. What?
MaaaaBY! 🙂
Have a look at some more languages.
O.K.! I’ll Talk! Stop . . stop doing that! I cant’ take it any more! I’m cracking up!
It’s Hungarian for No.
P.S., the joke is, I’ve just read the episode of SSS where Babbet’s going to go and interrogate her family again. I didn’t say it was a good joke.
All dragons are winged serpents… except Komodo ones, which have no wings.
Very true.
It’s just that PUFF THE WINGED SERPANT doesn’t have the same ring as PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON.
And PETE’S WINGED SERPANT sounds like a creepy double entandre (though that might make a more interesting remake of Disney’s PETE’S DRAGON).
Well that kids song some of us grew up thinking was just a sad song about change and growing up, was totally a reference to the artists (Peter Paul & Mary) loosing their innocence to the drug culture in the 1960’s. It came up on their 25th anniversary reunion show on PBS in the mid 80’s.
Also interesting idea for a comic. I kinda like Alice, but I think I would be bludgeoned to death by her by now.
Angry Arrow Eyes are her most dangerous weapon, but they’re more-metaphorical than they are deadly.
Actually, as much as i like winged dragons, chinese dragons don’t necessarily have wings …
Well I take back my other “True” to agree with you, JuL.
Chinese and other Asian dragons are often magical or deistic beings who fly without wings. I need to get me one of those!
Are there any two-headed Double Dragons in Unearth?
Funny you should ask that, Thorin! It just so happens there are some double-headers on site:
https://unearthcomic.com/comic/chapter-4-page-120/
Double Dragon, from Felinfoel’s in Llanelli, just happens to be my favorite quaff, but it seems no longer to be available hereabouts.
Ooooo. Now that I know it exists and is virtually impossible for me to get ahold of, I’m dying to try it!!!
hi papa this new page is great love anna
Thanks for commenting, Anna! Glad you like it!
Ah! The kid!
How old is Anna, and should I start exercising restraint? I already think twice before posting things, but I could start thinking thrice.
The discourse on Unearth has remained civil and intelligent since the beginning… for which I’m grateful. I knew from the beginning that while my daughters aren’t the target demographic for Unearth, I wasn’t going to post things online I wouldn’t feel comfortable with them seeing.
My daughters have been proof-reading the comic for years (mostly answering the question: “Does this make sense to you?”). They often tell me that their school classmates are infinitely more vulgar than anything on Unearth.
So, Thorin, you’re good! Great, in fact! Thank you for reading and supporting this silly project!
Well great! That’s a relief. Being a high school teacher, I try to make sure that I expose as many of our youth as possible to stimulating, thought-provoking, wholesome, and enriching Dad Jokes. Also puns. And, when I can manage it, both at the same time! Speaking of,,,
What is happening when your daughter keeps asking you to put her friends in your Unearth comic?
An Anna-crony-ism…
Thorin, as to cronyism:
I’m fairly certain no teenage girls read Unearth of their own volition, and so couldn’t care less about appearing in it.
Awww… I was hoping for a facepalm….
I’ll have to lower the bar… again.
“They often tell me that their school classmates are infinitely more vulgar than anything on Unearth.”
I really believe that.
I was vile and horrible as a teenager… I just lacked the social media platform training to amplify and reinforce my awfulness.
I have to say, I love this comic!
But the real reason I’ve uncloaked: I’m pretty sure the 3rd speech bubble should start with “Ils sont…”, just like the 2nd sentence in the 2nd bubble: “They are…”
