Ditto. I copied some of this to a translator page, and it identfied it as Portuguese! Lolol and when I manually input it as from French, it still sounded mistranslated
Here you go:
t!: "But, [f-word]
François: "Go on, go on. I would like to know where you are going with this."
t!: "Me, or the person who thinks it’s funny that a married couple also treats each other as lovers?"
Yeah, that is definitely not what i got for the translation, especially of "câlisse"… Lolol
Ty so much, both of you. For the translation, and the new words/phrases i can use! 😉
When we were playing with classes/skills in this situation the best combinations were rogue (urban tracker), ranger (rural tracker) and bard (talking and influencing people). Some person of rank like a noble or priest also helped.
Of course there is some overlap between rogue and ranger or bard and person of rank.
It does dovetail nicely with an earlier observation that I made, that Cadugan is more of the Sherlock Holmes sort of detective, very observant of the little details. Lucas as the noble is more of an Agatha Christie detective, more attuned to the psyche of the perpetrator and a better judge of each witnesses motivations.
Coming up at 9PM, 8PM central:
He’s a woodsman with a keen eye for details. He’s a nobleman skilled at navigating the treacherous waters of diplomacy. Together, they fight crime!
I can’t begin to tell you how many TV shows, books, movies, etc. I’ve heard of but have never watched, read, or listened to. Cagney and Lacey is one of those shows. It was only because of how well their names work with Cadugan and Lucas that made me think of it.
It’s not just so many books, so little time anymore, it’s so many forms of media, so little time.
Little do they know that he has a little widget that’s just come on the market and can follow a trail forever without any adjustments, once it’s set on it, it’s the latest in gnu-matic trackers
In a former life I spent a lot of time as a radio announcer/DJ
Yes, it was often like this.
Turning to local events…
Hard times for a tri-town family of gnus, Mr Gnu went out to graze but was ambushed and eaten by a pride of lions.
While he was out, a poacher shot Mrs Gnu, leaving poor Baby Gnu to starve to death.
Aaannd that’s it for the gnus; here’s the weather…
Rich, I love the sketch of the bovine creature you posted up there just below the comic. I’m guessing it’s character art for a player we haven’t yet met in the card tournament — maybe this is her first year, so she’s not yet used to socializing with all the old-timers. But you can tell from that ruminating expression on her face that she is aware of some crucial bit of information that could crack this case wide open.
Mark my words: when all is revealed, the whole monastery will be saying, "The new gnu gnu knew!"
I suspect, like you do, Mucat, that this is the first of several bovine characters, and they’re all named Elle. It’s no wonder that, like the stores, we’re seeing her now. Yes, it’s time for the first Gnu-Elle.
Funny how Cadugan calls his husband lover
Mais, câlisse…
t!
Continuez, continuez. Je voudrais savoir ou vous allez avec ça.
Moi, ou la personne qui pense que c’est "drôle" que des mariés se traitent aussi d’amants?
t!
English please

So, what does it mean?
Here you go:
t!: "But, [f-word]
François: "Go on, go on. I would like to know where you are going with this."
t!: "Me, or the person who thinks it’s funny that a married couple also treats each other as lovers?"
More accurately, mine translate to:
– FFS
– Me, or the person who thinks it’s "funny" that a married couple also calls each other lovers?
Ball’s in your court, Hee.
t!
Yeah, that is definitely not what i got for the translation, especially of "câlisse"… Lolol

And by tracking he’ll crack the case. They’ll know him as the Gnu t/cracker.

Cagney and Lacey, meet Cadugan and Lucas.
The wife and I bought the complete series on DVD last year, and are working our way through it.
Outstanding show. Would have been ahead of its time, but we’re still – tragically, and abhorrently – waiting for its time to come.
t!

> how well their names work with Cadugan and Lucas
They really do! I’m kind of embarassed I didn’t notice until you juxtaposed them above.
t!
Fnordius: YES!
That was Richard’s lightning bolt, waaay back in the mists of time when he proposed this to me, the way the two of them would complement each other.
Cue the Mike Post!
t!
Let the man do what he does best!
I love that "Once again it’s ON" face he’s making.
Let the games begin!
" Come Lucas, the game’s afoot "
There’s nothing like following tracks in gnu snow…
Little do they know that he has a little widget that’s just come on the market and can follow a trail forever without any adjustments, once it’s set on it, it’s the latest in gnu-matic trackers

Oh, good one!
Ah, yes. I recall the witness on the scene claiming it was hyenas, but later the police discovered he was a lion.
Was St. Aldwin also skilled in making cheese? We could have some cheese and trackers. 😛
No cheese. But they were locksmiths. So they often had keys and trackers.
LOL! ???
I now realise why the tournament is held where it is: a Gnu win often succeeds an Aldwin.
dang
Nice.
t!
If I were the bad guys, I would be very, very frightened after panel 2.
From the script: "Closeup on Cadugan, he’s wearing the dangerous smile of a wolf who’s just caught the scent of his prey."
I’d say Rich nailed it.
t!
Stuffed and mounted it, I’d say!
Compliments to everyone for their *pun*gent observations! 😉
So glad to see we’re back! You can tell how much Rich loves this strip: the quality never suffers, despite what obstacles Life throws in the way.
(*Apologies to t! Didn’t mean to overlook or ignore your important contribution (the script!) to this excellently-developing arc.
Rich has done so much of this solo; it was a reflex. 😉 )
No apologies necessary at all, MDF. You were talking about Rich – I’m glad to have him back, too!
t!

Because it’s overdue…
“Start spreading the news
I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it
Gnu York, Gnu York…”
