The Dreadful -- Chapter 7

[MSperoni]

I'm sure if infant Kit had the opportunity to murder vicious hellbeasts she would have.


Also: The Dreadful will be back to updating like normal next week. I need to catch up on a few things so there may be a couple of instances where there are only two pages posted a week.

Page 172!

Lucas probably isn't going to be able to impress her...She grew up with Kit and hangs around with Jeanne. Poor guy :P

[Spinell]

And she speaks french. Did she get the brains while Kit got the powers?

Poe spent a lot of time in her youth reading and studying. More on that later.

[Jalaweed]

She'll surrender to him sooner or later. Mostly later though.

Btw almost perfect french bubble, except it's "Il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences"

And thanks to that I could do the Google translate thing without having to type anything. Which I wouldn't have done, because it pretty much said what you'd think it would say. Though I'm not sure if she's talking about the appearance of the guy, herself, the place, or appearances in general. Maybe it doesn't matter, as she surely counted on not being understood?

It's a proverb analogous to "never judge a book by its cover"

Yes, and usually people say that when a 'book' has been misjudged by its cover. So I idly wondered if this was the case.

Perhaps she intended it as an addition to her earlier admission to him that she hadn't expected him to take her to such a place? And therefore she was the one who had 'misjudged him by his appearance'? But she kind of looks like she's aiming it at him.

So perhaps she meant that he shouldn't have assumed that she couldn't speak French, and therefore he was the one who had misjudged her by her appearance? Which might be fair or unfair. Perhaps 'pinkies' are supposed to be uneducated, but if most people wouldn't know French, then his assumption that she wouldn't speak that particular language could easily have been based on probability rather than appearance.

This is all aside from her primary goal of showing him that she speaks the language he was fumbling with. Perhaps the most likely answer is that she only wanted to say something vaguely relevant in French, and didn't intend to imply that either of them had misjudged the other in the last few panels.

So much typing.

[MSperoni]

Well, like Lucas I don't speak French

I just copied it off some website...so either they wrote it wrong or I copied it wrong. At least I wasn't off TOO much...

You were actually 97.37% right! That's enough to pass any exam.
