It's clumsy (and probably grammatically wrong because I followed the original structure too closely), but I was in a hurry and couldn't come up with better phrasing.

I guess the better translation would be: "if the moose had been polite enough to get shot." (it's an intentionally humorous sentence)

I think replacing "themselves" with "them" at the end would do the trick. It changes who exactly is being shot.

Yeah, in hindsight, that's pretty obvious.

Thanks for the input btw. I guess people don't usually bother nitpicking about internet post grammar, but unfortunately it means that my skills aren't improving very quickly.

You're doing a great job here and I appreciate it - I'm really enjoying getting to read the strip. If you'd like, I can continue to offer suggestions as needed.

Some years ago this strip mentioned that Jeremy's parents went to Woodstock and I complained then that they seemed too young. I guess this is a retcon of that. Or Dad went despite being like nine years old I guess.

Sliding timeline.

Thanks for continuing to translate and post this, I like it a lot. A minor correction: it's spelled "crucifix."

What is he even trying to say here? Millennials don't keep spare keys? Millennials don't know how locks work? Millennials never leave the house so they don't need to get back in? I can tell I'm being insulted, but I'm not so much offended as just very confused?

Millennials are obsessed with Some Gizmo, specifically smart locks in this case.

If you're looking for the word for someone with a medical degree who manipulates the spine without surgery, the answer is "osteopathic physician" or "osteopath."

Osteopathy is "alternative medicine". Osteopaths aren't doctors.

It differs by country. In the US, the difference between a D.O. and an M.D. is minimal in terms of credentialing and nonexistent in terms of practice rights. I don't know what the situation is in South Korea.

His name sounds like "Attila the Hun," whose attack the soldiers in the castle are worried about.

Nope. It's a tantalizing loose end introduced intentionally.

I don't say it often enough, but I appreciate your work translating and sharing this comic with us. I have a minor correction about the translation: the word for someone who participates in rebellion is just "rebel," not "rebeller."

Yeah, occasionally I see something of interest and look it up and read further, it's amazing.

I had no idea there was an English translation of the book itself. Anglophones not accustomed to the Finnish interface for Google Books might find this link more useful than the one previously provided.

I'll bite. Why are mail-in ballots bad, Brewster Rockit Space Guy? This comic's notions of relateability leave a bad taste in my mouth.
