New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for October 27, 2018

So why are you talking?

“Stop hoping to speak today!” (very rough translation)

No. It’s misspelled and awkwardly written Esperanto. It’s supposed to be “Neniu” instead of “Nenieu”, and with that correction, the sentence translates as “No one doesn’t speak Esperanto today”.

Reminds me of a line from an old cartoon – “Nobody doesn’t like SaraLee. THIS MEANS YOU!”

“Esperanto”? Wasn’t that a song by the Eagles?

Esperante translator: “There is no talk today to wait today”

Yeah. Me neither.

You do and you’ll clean it up.

No speakee esparanto.

“Incubus” Starring William Shatner the movie that killed Esperanto.

Can anyone translate that to volapuk for me?

“Esperanto” always remind me of this : https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/update/2868139

The bit begins at 5:00. Mick accuses Keith of speaking Esperanto at 7:05.

Yes, SNL used to be funny.

Well, it’s not a common language by any stretch. But it is by far the easiest language I have learned, and learning it helped me to learn others much more quickly, too. (Since there aren’t any stupid exceptions to any rule, you don’t get caught up in them, and you get a really good grasp of how language works.)

It still strikes me as an unobvious topic for a comic strip, though.
