Bringeth thine ass to the grass my liege
It’s a lot of work to become King of all Cosmos
are armbands and knee bands to keep your joints from popping out of place when you’re lifting heavy stuff?
No. They’re support, rather than protection. For people with messed up knees, it keeps the knee from wandering away under the skin, or the muscles from moving wrong. The muscles do all the work, the bands just keep everything in it’s right place.
So, yes?
“My lord, we are having trouble breaching our enemy’s wall.”
“Very well, we shall to come to your aid”
Queen throws King at wall, problem solved.
Kettlebell thrown? Sweet.
Kettlebell
thrownthroneFTFY. That one confused me for a bit as I couldn’t find anyone throwing kettlebells in the comic, lol
… and Gold is 10% heavier than steel!
It’s a lot heavier than that! The density of steel varies as there are different alloys, but most are in the range of 7.5-9 g/cm^3
Gold has a density that’s more than double most steel alloys at 19.3 g/cm^3. Of course, that’s assuming we’re taking about pure gold, but still, gold is way more than 10% heavier than steel
But is a kg gold heavier than a kg feathers??
That will depend on the atmosphere.
outside of the art, this feels like it could be a perry bible
Nitpick time: File this under “wrong usage of -eth when trying to sound medieval”. That particular usage became “-es” in modern English, and if you make that replacement in this comic (cometh → comes), it’s immediately clear that it’s wrong. “Come onward” would have been just fine, but that, of course, looks far too modern.
I mean, you could read it as being deliberately demeaning or objectifying - she is being a hard taskmaster - but I don’t think that was the intention here.
If she has permission - or dares take the initiative - to use the familiar form of address, she could try “Now, come thee onward!”, keeping both that “th” that was wrong before, as well as the syllable count. Might still be a bit weird in context, but not grammatically.
She does say ‘thee’ in the other panel so familiarity is established.
Anyway, even without knowing the rule, you can sense something is wrong by saying it out loud. I don’t know if there are examples of turns of phrase staying in use when they don’t flow well in spoken language?
What are your house parties like.
