Numpty.

Hey, an anthology I'm part of is being Kickstarted right now! It's another fairy tales book, this time African instead of Europeon tales, and it's got some amazing names attached, go have a look! 

Cast: Ethan Booth

    hmmm, another person who uses numpty. i thought that was a fairly regional word, as i haven't heard it in common usage outside of (east coast) Australia. interesting to see its made it to England (or vice versa)

      Numpty has been in the UK for donkeys. Think we used it around the same time.

      You'd be surprised how common Numpty is used these days.

      It's actually originally a Scottish word which evolved from the obsolete term 'numps'. It's not surprising then that it was Scotland's favourite word in 2007 based on an ICAN word survey.

    The name of the restaurant is bigger clue than I expected!

    Yeah I'd be a major curmudgeon too if that's the last conversation I had before I ended up making food FOREVER.

    Am I the only one thinking that perhaps Ethan isn't entirely wrong to put his dream of being a top chef ahead of personal relationships? And if Ryan really loved his husband he should be a bit more supportive and understanding. Of course there'll be a lot of history between them that we haven't seen...


    And can you use the word 'husband' in a single sex marriage?

    Perhaps this will be one of the time-travel stories where you return at the same moment as when you left

    Okay, question: How is the hotel still operational? When, and how, exactly did someone step in and buy it, and how did they not end up trapped there like the inspectors and the mayor?

    Congrats on reaching 300 comics, by the way! (At least that's what Comic Rocket says.)

      Ah! Looks like three of those pages were sketches though, so we're close but not quite! Thanks for letting me know, had honestly not noticed!

    Assuming that there is anything to my idea that victims captured by the Sin have to have sinned in some way, that resume may be seriously padded.

    your millage may vary. folks are folks, but each situation will have its own "correct" solution.
