RE: Chochmah…

Yeah, it’s used like that, depends on the context. Similar to “chochmaloag”, someone who’s intelligent but completely lacking in common sense.

Keep it going, Barry, love the comic!!

It’s Yiddish humor. It does mean ‘wisdom’, translated literally, but it’s like wisecrack in English - literally means smart, but in context means idiot.

… “Chochme” = joke? I always knew it as “wisdom”, but maybe she’s supposed to be sarcastic?

I loved this page. It is a great use of the comic medium to express what a character is going through on both the inside and the outside. The only sad thing about it being a favorite is that it is the kind of image that would lose its effectiveness if used anything other than very rarely.

I finally read the dead tree version of the story. I don’t want to give any spoilers (though I’ll have questions later on…) so I’ll just say that it was better than I was expecting and I was expecting a lot.

When’s the next one coming out?

Thanks, both of you. :-)

Patrick, I filled up the word balloon in that panel with a quote from Gilbert and Sullivan. “This particularly rapid unintelligible patter isn’t generally heard and if it is it doesn’t matter.”

Absolutely great… not that it matters to the story, but I really wanna know what the rest of panel 7 says =P
