2008-10-29: Frog Legs (tipping)
Split Infinitives
I don't know if I've gone off on this rant before but the supposed injunction against split infinitives infuriates me: there's a big difference between "i promise to not eat you" and "i promise not to eat you". Bother not to make the distinction and you lose meaning.
This comic is in the storyline:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.
This comic includes the contribution:
- Patch the Jester suggested: Space Frog's legs must be amputated, due to a cooties infection.
Text transcript
Dr Quickly: It's a serious cooties infection... we'll have to amputate your legs. Space Frog: SAY WHAT Dr Quickly: All done! I made you a little diorama of your amputated legs so you can gaze at them wistfully. Space Frog: OHHHH THIS SUCKS Dr Quickly: OF COURSE cooties aren't real! I just needed an excuse to immobilize him so he'd stop sneaking up behind me!! Space Frog: REVENGE Space Frog: HEY RABID CAN YOU HELP ME BACK UP ON MY LEGS SO I CAN EAT YOU I PROMISE TO NOT EAT YOU Rabid: Uh, nope.
