"Your translations to our languages is really impressive," the linguist said. "Are there any particular concepts that are extra hard?"

"Normal," the alien envoy said.

"That's very culturally dependent."

"Yes, but there is also a vast difference between our observations and your perceptions."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are cuddled up together, with Green deep in thought and Blue sound asleep. Green, thinking: I want to kiss your neck and nibble your ears and touch your butt and fluff your tail, and... I want to touch you everywhere at the same time. My body is inefficient. As Green speaks out nonchalantly, Blue opens one eye, deeply baffled by what he hears. Green: You make me wish I had tentacles.

I cannot mash the Like button enough times. The NFL’s behaviors regarding its integrity policy are baffling at best.

Congratulations to you both! 💍🎊

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is Green, the other is Blue's mother, Red. Red turns around to look at Green, who listens. Red: Can you take the thing to the other ones at that one over there? Green stares back at her, blankly. Red's look of determined confidence does not falter. Green: ...The what over where? Red: Yes. Later, Blue and Green are walking together. Green: I adore your mother, but I can see where you get it from. Blue: Get what?

"That creepy guy is here again," my boss hissed.

I looked to the pinball machine in corner. A lanky man in overalls and a soft hat was playing.

"You're making a fortune from the old coins he's using. But I'll have a word."

Later, I told my boss the guy worked as a ferryman. Why'd he get so pale?

"Could you turn me into a cat?" the man asked.

The witch gave him a long look. "Why?"

"So I could be your familiar," he said with a grin.

"What an interesting idea! Let me try."

*poof*

"Oops!" the witch said.

She picked up the frog. "Let's get you to a pond."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting by himself, reading a book, as he hears a strange rumbling sound. Blue looks up from his book, looking confused. Blue, thinking: What kind of a person rearranges furniture this late at night? The noise repeats, and Blue turns his head to look towards the direction it came fron. Blue, still in thought: There it was again. Investigating the source of the sound, Blue finds Green sleeping on the floor. The noise he heard was Green snoring. Blue, thinking: Oh.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue watches as Green finishes setting up his work station. Green: I've got my notes, coffee, laptop, all I'm going to need. Green sits down in front of his laptop, looking at his work with determination. Green: And now I shall sit down right here and not move before all my work is done. Green watches as Blue begins to wiggle. Blue: And I shall distract you with an enticing dance. Green: Why? Blue: Why not?

Before the entrance to the superhero academy, the boys compared powers.

"What do you do?"

"Er..."

"C'mon, spill!"

"I can add pockets."

"Like, interdimensional?"

"No, just normal, usable pockets. To any garment, matching any material."

"What use is that?"

"If I can help anyone I'd be happy."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting with their backs towards each other, looking into opposite directions. Blue looks exhausted and annoyed, while Green is frowning with angry thoughts. Green, thinking: I can't be expected to know what you're mad about unless you tell me. What could you even be mad about? If I ask your opinion and you don't tell me the truth, that's on you! Green still continues to think, but raises an eyebrow as Blue turns around to kiss his neck affectionately. Green, thinking: It's not my job to guess whether you're lying ab- Green, speaking out loud: Aren't you mad at me? Blue, suddenly not weary at all but deeply baffled, looks at Green in confusion, while Green looks just as bewildered. Blue: What on earth would I be mad at you for? Green: I have no idea!

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are looking at each other, both carrying bags, as the doorbell rings. Green: Do we have everything now? Blue: Yep, ready to go! At the door, Blue and Green meet an orange maintenance fox. Maintenance fox: We're here to replace your air filter. Blue: Oh! We were just leaving. Outside, Blue and Green go on their merry way. Blue: Narrowly spared from getting judged for the state of our home. Green: Sure they judge. We just don't have to be there for it.

There was a faint puff of smoke from the bottle, and a small genie appeared.

"You have freed me," it said, "so I'm obliged to grant you a wish."

It hesitated. "But I am not very powerful."

I nodded. "Of all things I need, give me the greatest you can."

Suddenly, I held a large mug of hot cocoa.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are playing a board game with Blue's little brother. All three are studying the board keenly. Blue: If I go forward, I'll step into a trap. Blue continues studying the board as his little brother picks up another card. Blue: If I go back, I'll take the penalty. Blue frowns in frustration. Blue: Every time I move I take 5 damage. Blue and little blue look at Green, who is still studying the board. Green: And every time we kiss I swear I could fly.

"No," the swordmaster said.

"One does not refuse the king," the herald said.

"I do. I will not train his soldiers or officers, I will not tell my students to join his army, I will not support his unjust war."

"You will regret this!"

"No," the swordmaster said.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting next to each other, Blue is on his laptop while Green is reading an appliance manual. Green: Let's see the safety booklet! "Only plug into properly installed outlets. Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. If the appliance starts to leak unknown liquid, do not lick it. Do not sew clothes while someone is wearing them." Blue turns around to look at Green in disbelief, while Green goes on, reading aloud as if nothing is out of place. Green: "Do not let pets or small children use the sewing machine unsupervised."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is about to go on an angry rant, as Green raises his tail to halt him. Blue: And don't get me started on- Green: Wait! Before you start... Blue frowns at Green as Green looks at him calmly. Green: Do you want solutions, or do you just want to complain? Blue: Can I just complain? Blue looks surprised as Green looks over his shoulder. Green: Sure, but let me make myself some popcorn first. As Green leaves, Blue looks stunned towards the direction that he left. Blue: I may do some warm-up screams while I wait. Green, already off-screen: Just don't start without me!

Princess Anne lights a cigar off a match struck on her medals.

"Nice ballroom."

*Long puff*

"Looks flammable"

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is looking at a little round pastry that Green is holding up. Green: I grabbed this little pastry out of curiosity. Blue: What is it? Green: I have no idea. Let's find out! Blue peers at Green with curiosity as Green munches on the pastry, looking incredulous. Blue: How is it? Green: Like a mildly yeast flavoured sponge. Having finished the pastry, Green sulks. Green: Well, at least it was cheap. Blue: A small price for knowledge.

The strongest knights went first. Large hands on the hilt, feet firmly planted on the stone, muscles bulging... The sword would not budge.

One by one they failed, knights and nobles.

They laughed when a maid walked up and patted the stone fondly.

"Sweetie, can you please let go for me?"

It did.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue approaches a mysterious pile of blankets that is almost as tall as a fox. Blue: Green? What's this blanket pile here? Blue sits down to study the blanket pile more closely as Green's voice is audilbe from within. Green, unseen from the blanket pile: It's me. Blue: Are you cold? Green: Not anymore. Blue: Okay. Do you need anything? Green: Get in here.

"Help me," the duke said. "My physicians can't say what ails me, but I've lost all pleasure in what I used to enjoy."

The witch examined him, and paused over his hand.

"Nice ring. It is new?"

"A recent gift from the king. Why? Is it cursed?"

It was made to dampen cruelty.

"No," said the witch.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to three full grocery bags as Green is looking at him over his shoulder, already on his way. Blue: I'll just wait here with the groceries while you go back for the batteries. Green: Sure! Inside the grocery store, Green spots a display of tempting-looking pastries. Green, in thought: Batteries, batteries, batteries... Ooh, seasonal pastries! As Green returns, hauling a comically large number of grocery bags, Blue looks at them with an unreadable look on his face. Blue: You were overtaken by impulse purchases. Green: Yes. Blue turns his gaze back to Green, who looks back to him without a hint of regret or embarrassment in his eyes. Blue: And you forgot the batteries. Green: ...Yes.

Welcome back, darth! I hope you had a wonderful hibernation, because we have some things to tell you. You’ll need your strength.
