While things are getting better a lot of things are still a trainwreck on my end.
While my cat has responded to the thyroid medication, she can’t take it as a pill which is the prime reason for all of her side effects (including being vomity as all hell)
So the mighty 15 year old furball is going to be getting a topical gel in her ears, and is on anti-nausea medication and a reduced dose of the pills until she can get on the gel.
That’s one thing that’s getting better…on the other hand, the day after I posted my message about things going on pause, an elderly family member banged themselves up in a fall and is still recovering.
So we are still in wait and see mode over here. When we know more, you’ll know more. š
Interesting to see Bibendum made it across the Great Divide with Thorongil Caladharas 7,000 years ago…Ā …Ā How close are these years to those years?Ā Or is this a bad question?
LOL!Ā I finally got it.Ā First I had to google “Bibendum” to find out what that meant.Ā Then I had to search the comic very very carefully, until I noticedĀ the tyre’s label in the first panel.
Mr. Roden has a number of impossible coincidences, given that we are on a different world and (my guess) between five and six thousand years futureward from our present (the Mariner and his people came through some kind of portal from our world some 7 millennia ago, but at a time when Irish Gaelic already existed in our world).Ā “Suspension of disbelief” is necessary in any story like this, it is just too much work to invent different words and different artifacts that do the same things as in our world now.Ā ‘Specially in a graphic novel where you would also have to create models and pictures of those artifacts.
I’ve also been known to make my own logos, and leave real world logos in places for fun šĀ Heck, I slapped a ‘CE’ logo on a memory card once, even š I like bleedthrough.Ā I like the feeling like you’re on a parallel Earth with it’s own thing going on.
Heck, a couple times I even had people drinking Nozz-A-La soda in scenes too. And a character had a poster on their wall of the Sierra Madre Hotel, too.

Ok, pretty sure there is a joke there somewhere – lol
Look forward to your return!
