Except Sindarin can be used by nerds to pretend they are good at fighting. Welsh is only good for asking people when they are going to make good on bets. Unfortunately, the answer is always "Never".

I'm not sure that 'celtic' is a language. Irish, Scots Gaelic, Welsh, Manx, Breton, Cornish, I've heard of.
Is it spoken by celtics? That is, the sports teams who pronounce the word as if it's spelled with an 's'?

Well to be fair I only know the words to a few Julie Fowlis songs.
So I can't carry out a conversation but I could tell you that "Hug air a'Bhonaid Moir" means "Celebrate the great bonnet". Lyrics aren't her strong point.

Oh, and 'yehcontyeh', which seems to mean 'I disagree but respect your position'.

My old Irish friend, educated for the first 5 or so years of his schooling days in an Irish school before living abroad for several years, could only remember how to count to about 20 and say "The ball rolled into the shop" in Gaelic. Luckily, when he returned to Ireland, he continued to live in the east, where he had very little occassion to talk about vendors as they relate to geometrical recreation, even in English.
(He still lives there, I just heard from him for the first time in 15 years last month.)

It says something big about a culture that they have a word that means that, particularly well versed in Irish history at all but man, I wish English had one word that said "I disagree but respect your opinion". Do you know the correct pronunciation cause I know Gaelic is all ridiculous with that.

And when Eragon came out and my mom insisted we see it, the self-insertion's dragon sounded exactly like how I imagined this highfalutin baby doll would sound. That was uncanny and speaks to the incompetence of the Eragon film crew.

I was drunk pretty much most of the time and going out of my mind over my thesis, so I think it's pretty reasonable.
But I should have remembered that Onstad's wife is Chinese.

Man I had to stop reading halfway through the last paragraph because I'm experiencing and all-day hangover and it's 4pm and I haven't eaten yet and all that talk of food was making me both incredibly hungry and slightly nauseous.
On a different note, "puberty lip", hahahaha. How incredibly spot on.

It has the manner and look of a young Alfred Hitchcock, appearing gigantic in the last frame.

I strongly suggest you go to youtube and watch "Hitchcock Loves Bikinis." He explains the Kuleshov effect in the best possible way ever.

Let us assume he sees an otter holding a baby in his arms. Now we cut back to his reaction to what he sees. And he smiles. Now what is he as a character? He's a kindly man, he's sympathetic, he's thoroughly used to the concept of anthropmorphized creatures nurturing hunks of talking plastic with orange-flavored pacifiers.

You, my good man, are incredibly responsive.
Now we'll put in a... a piece of film of an otter with a bikini. He looks: otter in a bikini; he smiles. What is he now? A dirty old man! He is no longer the benign gentleman... who loves babies.

I imagine Llewellyn Ash's voice to be all like a bad 1980s educational video, all high-class British with a fake smile and slightly too much reverb and random synth / theremin swirls and splashes in the background

This strip is extraordinary.
And debate rages in my mind as to what sort of voice this would sound best with.

I think the best part of this, aside from the hilariously creepy doll in general, is the fact that Philippe actually writes that down in panel four, paper and all.

The Victoria Cross is a military decoration of Canada modelled on the original British Victoria Cross (pictured) %u2013 instituted in 1856 by Queen Victoria %u2013 in both intent and appearance, though with several small changes. Created in 1993, it and the original are the highest honours in the Canadian honours system, taking precedence over all other orders, decorations, and medals. It is awarded by either the Canadian monarch or his or her viceregal representative, the Governor General of Canada, to any member of the Canadian Forces or allies serving under or with Canadian military command for extraordinary valour and devotion to duty while facing a hostile force. Recipients are entitled to use the post-nominal letters VC (for both English and French), and also to an annual annuity of C$3,000. The Victoria Cross can be awarded more than once, but no one has received the Canadian medal since its inception

Why is Phillpe supposed to wave the dirty diaper under Llewellyn's nose? Is this supposed to let the baby know that it's shit stinks? I obviously know nothing about child-rearing.

I...didn't know what to think here at first.
i... am... terrified of phillipe's mother's neuroses on display here.
A perpetually five year old child is the Great Bane of older women who's friends are all grandmothers already.
I can only hope this message reaches you one year ago in the past:
In Phillipe's future, a future you cannot comprehend, things happen that are beyond anything you can understand, and the understanding of these things is so grave that you cannot even begin to comprehend the gravity of their future. Just remember that no matter what anybody tells you in one year's time: a Svenhard's is not a danish.
