Happy New Year!

Thank you, everyone, for continuing to enjoy our owly escapades. And to Rhieks for putting in the hours to translate it! We hope to continue bringing you your weekly dose of owl silliness in the year 2022 as well!

Thanks for kind words, everybody! \(O v O)/
We're so happy to get to read your comments again. (T ◊ T)

Don't be afraid to send the Piff some mail!

(OvO)/

Oh, we're here every now and then, silently deciphering what the peck everybody is talking about...

...

Yes, the Google translations are sometimes a bit eerie, but we know you are good folks so we try not to worry! (O◊O)/

(OvO)/

Worry not! The other eye is just hidden under all the fluff!

(OvO)/ hieh!

You peeps are very close! As shown in comic #58, the (assumed) thick-as-heck book of Das Law was dropped into a drinking establishment, then reiterated into a tiny notebook. However, there were no printing services back then, so that notebooky Das Law is the only copy that exists.

It is said that Willai (original owner of the drinking establishment) thought those new fancy book thingies might be the way to differentiate his drinking establishment from the rest, so he spent quite some effort gathering them.

It's a mystery how the guards got/paid/begged/smuggled Das Law out of the place. Maybe it was a small price to pay to make the guards shut up and get out..? ¯\_(OvO)_/¯

(OvO)/ nice

Thanks for the explanation. We have a few Russian friends, but haven't had the opportunity to study the language.

Yes! Vayandil and I have many a times thought that it's so wonderful to have Rhieks bringing our comic here! And we have seen the many discussions about what terms to use in the translation. But much like many other things that we feel very blessed about, I don't think we have actually articulated those feelings into words (ÓvÒ)

So thank you for doing this, Rhieks! \(OvO)/

(OvO)/ clarification!

Vayandil the owl-artist-fictional-person and Vayandil the human-artist-actual-person are both, indeed, female.

(OvO)/ hi

Thank you! We'll continue doing our best in bringing you the wackiest citadels you've ever seen!

...

And sometimes sentences that don't make any sense (OvO)/

(OvO)/ hi

We have been watching you peeps.

(OvO(OvO)OvO) for a long time (OvO(OvO)OvO)

*hides Google Translate behind back*

Thanks for the encouraging words, and thanks for being our reader! “Travel journal” is actually pretty close to what we have been going for with the comic as a whole - while also trying to keep things at least somewhat entertaining.

Originally, we didn’t really mean to make the comic “satire”. We just thought about what would be “a somewhat reasonable” but at the same time “a really stupid way” to do something, and made a comic of that.

And those comics ended up resembling the real world (Ovo)

(OvO)/ Keep being awesome!

(OvO)/ yay

I'm glad if that panel gives the impression we were going for.

Also, I started with "Rhieks misses the old drawing sty-" and Vayandil ran off screaming somewhere.

...through the wall. (OvO)

Anyway, I will do my best to finish my sentence when she returns. (OvO)/
