Monday is going insane wondering why hot dogs usually come in a pack of ten and the buns for them come in packs of eight...

It's a conspiracy I tell ya!

You escaped. Congradulations! You're still stuck in Poland with no cash, no passport, and no understanding of Polish.

So this Bishop Przybyl. . . he's the head of a magical sect, and has a name with no vowels in it.

I see nothing ominous here whatsoever.

Did Torg bring his sword? If yes, he must have strapped it to its back, hidden behind head and/or speech bubble.
I have not yet been to Poland, so my information about the local habits is a bit lacking, but I would imagine that people hitchhiking (or at least hiking along a public road) with a long sword strapped to your back is a rare sight even there... :)

Okay, that last panel would have had me literally laughing out loud if I wasn't reading it on my break at work. As it is, I'm softly chuckling. "I can't read that!"

Good ol' Torg!

'Y' is a vowel, though I'm pretty sure there needs to be another vowel somewhere in that "prz".

Well I guess someone should tell the poles about the missing vowel. It's officially pronounced priz-bull, which means that I was right about that syllable having no vowel. Honestly though it looks more like a corruption of percival.

I once had a Polish friend who told me about his favorite Polish sentence. It didn't make a lot of sense -- I think it roughly translated to "put finger in neck" -- but it had ZERO VOWELS in it. (I don't remember if it had any y's.) It was interesting to hear him pronounce it.

(No no waitaminnit, he wasn't Polish, he was Czech. Finger = "prst", neck = "krk". Uh, well, good story anyway??)

I didn't know about the Vowelless One at the time, or I would have run away screaming like a (small frightened) girl.
