Bleeker: The Rechargeable Dog by Jonathan Mahood for October 18, 2020

In what grade is Skip anyway? How could he have flunked his alphabet when in kindergarten?

Wait, you thought he was counting during your gymnastics routine?

Was he deprived of oxygen at one point or what?

Man, Karl looks kinda weird viewed from above…

They never really directly answered his question.

What language? Burmese has 33 consonants and 8 vowel sounds, Sinhalese has about 50 phonemes, Japanese has 3 different “alphabets”, Spanish has 27, but before the alphabet reform of 2010 it had 29 (ll and ch were dropped, still used but not thought of as combinations and not distinct. ñ is still considered its own letter. The German alphabet is very similar to that of English but it has four letters that English does not have: ä, ö, ü and ß.In English, to make the pronunciation and spelling of a word clear, we say “D as in Delta” but in German they use names and those names are fixed, like “U as in Ulrich.”And don’t get me started on Cyrillic.

Wow, impressive. Wonder how long it took the artist to do this? : )

It was an impressive display, but totally wasted on Skip. For Skip, keep it simple.

This must’ve been fun to draw :) And taken a while.

Indeed … fun visuals on this alphabet collection. My favorites are the i and the x panels.
