Chapter 10, Page 28
April 12th, 2015Alays has a price for her stories on Chapter 10, Page 28. Everique is a land of dreams, but not everyone’s dreams are the same. One page more in this chapter, and then we start the vignette A Berry from the Sun. To see a glimpse of the final page of the chapter, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
I must say: I like the way this comic is written. Several of the comics I read have dialogue that is an awful lot more complex than you would expect from simple conversation.
What I see here is a nice flow of natural dialogue, supplemented by the artwork to communicate any hidden meaning or double-entendre.
Anyway, nice work! I love this.
:-) Thank you!
I woulda’ called him worse……
Bavarder: French verb for gossip, chat. Basically, she’s telling Jassart that he’s got some mouth on him, or that he’s all talk.
@Royan: Thank you! I never had the chance to study French, so thanks for clearing that up. Alay’s insult makes much more sense now.
I’ll be adding bavard to the Almanac on Friday. Royan is spot on.
My first read through, I read ‘bayard’ as another term that starts with ba- and ends with -ard. For a second I was thinking ‘yikes, that’s fairly strong language for this comic.’
Alays’s dislike of Jassart endeared her to me already, but her love of stories and writing has made her that much more intriguing. I’m moving her to the top of my list of characters I hope we get to know better.
Your initial reading was also correct.
