From Urban Dictionary: shi shi
AKA Sheik, classy overpriced and contemporary.
From Mythology: Shishi (or Jishi) is translated as “lion” but it can also refer to a deer or dog with magical properties and the power to repel evil spirits.
In this particular strip’s case, it’s the first one.

There’s probably some deep symbolism in Shi-Shi - I’m just too lazy to try to find it…

What would you call that character? The Dragon of Nottingham? Cyrano de Dragonac?

How about the Sheriff of Dragonham? One of the Three Dragoons? (But which one: Arthos, Porthos, or Aramis–or even perhaps D’Ragnon?

In Japanese Shi = 4. It also means death
Four-Four Coffee? Death-Death Coffee? Four-Death Coffee?

Yeah. Four-Death Coffee. Kinda like my CocoMocha, or Doctor Toon’s Nuclear Coffee.

But be careful, though. If you make it too strong, it’ll start pouring you.
