@all ha ha. I’m glad the gunglove went over so well! I was afraid it was too dumb looking. I do in fact imagine it getting jammed into eyes and fired. Stoogeboom!!!

Also I made this post on the blog, but figured it was worth posting here too since the blog and comic aren’t necessarily connected:

@Welcome my new friends!!! Now to address “siete muerte” (I knew it’d bug those of you who speak spanish). It truly is gibberish, but not entirely chosen without thought…

1. You should know Silencio won’t be dabbling in spanish much beyond this. For one, I hate when foreign characters sprinkle in bits of another language. It feels like a cheap way to convey ethnicity. Furthermore I don’t speak spanish and knew it would sound phony.

2. This was very much an announcement to his attack “Magnificent Seven”. If you’ve played fighting games you know the gibberish that gets tossed about (faves include “Burn knuckle!” “Rising Upper!”). But the people who chose those phrases were going for the feeling rather than a proper phrase. Same here. I just like the sound siete muerte has together. seven. death. It’s got the feeling I wanted.

I promise I won’t be bastardizing any languages other than english for a bit.

I hope it doesn’t disturb you fine folks too much. I went back and forth a lil bit, but ultimately said “Mah to hell with it. It sounds pretty cool”.
