Translated by me again. Have mercy!
If you want to read the storyline from the beginning, click here.

Well, my little confettis!
Since I tried to avoid the carnevalesque goings- on in my city during the weekend, I thought I could as well make a double- strip!
It’s been a long time since I did one and this was a special KEY SCENE anyway!
In the case you don’t know (and there’s really no reason you SHOULD know this), there’s a Rheinlandian specialty called “Sauerbraten” which is traditionally made of…horse meat!
Not to mention, I never tried it and I never will!!! I won’t risk Buttercup never speaking to me again…Not that he ever does…:)

    One tip on the translation. Might want to use “blast off” instead of “cast off.”

    “Cast off” is loosing a ship from a dock. “Blast off” is firing a rocket.

    In the military, a response would be “Sir, yes, Sir!”

    But anywho, love the irony of the truck being there and how they don’t even try plan A again, hahaha.

    Lol, the boobs on you in the blueprint made me laugh, hard…

    Also, are you planning any Mario references for the talking fungi?

    OMG! I didn’t know saurbraten was made from horse!!!! >.>;;;;;;;;;; Luckily I’ve only eaten it here in America, where it’s made with pork….

    I love how detailed everyone is compared to the human stick figures. I guess stick ponies and stick elephants aren’t as funny.

      @Miss Hedgey: And it’s also El Fungo’s point of view! Now you can see how much the humans REALLY count to him…
      @Cat: Don’t panic. Traditionally it’s made from horse here, BUT in these modern days they make it with beef mostly everywhere. Still, all the little sick or dead horsies from the local racecourse end up as delivery to the horse butcher. My stomach is turning while typing x_x
      @ Nick: Actually I WAS planning a Mario tribute, but I guess I just forgot it. Thx for reminding me!^^

    Ooh!

    I just had an idea, i dont really care if you use it or not..

    I was thinking how hilarious it would be if the Talking Fungi got to the Elephants cage first, turned around, and said “Im sorry, but youre Princess is in another Castle”, or something along those lines…

  7. Greg Bulmash says:

    I wonder if Buttercup would have cleared the wall if the truck hadn’t interfered.

  8. MistingWolf says:

    Seems like a lot of people here, including me, get a little lost as to what your characters’ names are. Maybe I didn’t read closely enough in the beginning, but I only caught Ngumbe’s name come this story arc, and El Fungo’s in the one before that, I think. El Fungo seems to be just “the fungus” lol. Perhaps whip up a quick character sheet?

    • admin says:

      @Nick: HA! That’s a pretty cool idea! I personally love these inside jokes. Let’s see, somehow I have to build one in. Thx anyway!^^
      @Greg: The answer is forever blowing in the wind!:D
      @Misting Wolf: Oh, hey! There’s a character sheet on the About The Webcomic section in the menu. Yeah, it doesn’t say “Characters”. I wonder if I should change that?
      By the way, the “cool leather guy” didn’t reveal his name so far. He’s pretty, uhm, “discrete”. Eventually he’ll speak, but maybe he needs a good reason!:)
