Girl Genius Comic for Monday, July 02, 2023
Added 2023-07-01 21:59:05 +0000 UTCI just re-read The Last Unicorn, for the first time since Junior High. I remember that I loved the book, and it was so good to revisit it. The language and visuals are so beautiful. I recently picked up The Way Home (Two Novellas from the World of The Last Unicorn) but it's been absorbed into the house and I can't find it at the moment. I wanted to read the original again first anyway.
Maybe I'll find The Way Home soon. The books are everywhere, and there's a thick layer of cardboard-box and packing material icing over everything. My house will never be tidy again.
Until I find it, I've still got Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan Sims of The Magnus Archives podcast to go through. I hope I love it even half as much as The Magnus Archives.
But for now, it's back to putting books in boxes! Yay!

To me, "okAY" seems completely unreasonable, unnatural, and at odds with the way I have ever heard the word said. Leaving that aside, to me at least, the way the work "okay" is emphasized on this page looks like a typo because it doesn't match the way the work should be divided into syllables and that is why I brought it up.

2023-07-04 03:36:34 +0000 UTCIn the last panel, at the end of Vipsania's dialog balloon, the bold-italic emphasis style is used to show that she is emphasizing the last syllable of "okay" as shown below. (Since I can't use styled text in these comments as far as I know, I will represent the emphasized portions of the word with uppercase letters.) okAY But "okay" actually should be broken down into syllables in this way: o-kay. This is according to my knowledge and the Internet. https://www.howmanysyllables.com/syllables/okay So, the word "okay" should be rendered as shown below, if only the last syllable of the word is intended to be emphasized. oKAY
