It’s always funny, that even if you ignore the usual “Bavaria is Germany” misunderstanding, the German phrases are is still slightly off
(“Die Piñata” for a start, but why would you put an article there anyway and would you exclaim “Aww… This is chocolate cake.” instead of just “Aww chocolate cake”.)
You’re such a liar, Adam. Obviously they’re filled with sweet kraut.
And be careful what you wish for; Kathy has been known to abduct web comics. Though you seem to be armed with a manilla folder, so I tip the odds in your favor.
Unfortunately, your RSS feed is broken This comic, and the previous installment, share their ID. Some feedreaders duplicate these two comics on every update because of that.
And on a side note, shouldn’t it be “Ya’ have to treat insurance forms like they’re Medusa” or “Ya’ have to treat an insurance form like it’s Medusa”? Sorry to go grammar Nazi on you, but the English teacher I had all throughout high school kinda ruined me lol
When I was younger, I worked in a succession of awful retail jobs. Now I’m a Legal Manager at an office and I keep all of the paying accounts in manila folders. God help me, I love those manila folders- every time I pull one from a file, I am filled with joy at having an office job
This is too perfect, but… my Grammar Nazi is kicking in.
In German, “that” or “this” is spelled with two S’s. Dass. Sorry to give you crap about grammar, you seem to have gotten a lot with this one…
I love your comic nonetheless!
Also, I was just trying to eat Müsli when I read this comic and just about snorted milk out of my nostrils. BWAHAHAHA der German piñata… ROFL at all the people being nit-picky about articles or whether or not there are piñatas in Germany. I for one thought the random article before a word, the Bavarian kid, and the funny little sentence were to poke fun at the “German” stereotype?
@NonAnon Errrrrm, no. Sorry. “Das” is right here. (“Dass” being the one you use in subordinate clauses, like “that”.)
Das ist sauerkraut indeed, little bug. Dig in.
Except that there is no such thing as a “german piñata. For my part, I didn’t even knew what a “piñata” was before I read a lot of webcomics.
It’s just that boring; you never even knew it existed until it was pointed out.
A German piñata. Seriously, Adam, WHAT is inside your head? You’re not wired like normal people. I like that in a person.

Awesome, a grammar lesson! I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. Thumbs up! ^_^
Does this comment make him the “ultimate” grammar nazi?
Not unless he backs up his correction with some sort of war crime.
The cliché actually is “South Bavaria is Germany”, as the northern part consist of Franconia and the people there traditionally dress like this http://www.trachtenverein-stadeln.de/resources/Jugendgruppe+1980+Oberferrieden.jpg Please note the obligatory vests rather than suspenders and the covered legs.
The things in manila folders are eqaully if not greaterly boring as history also too bad that german kid doesnt hav mexicans in the neighborhood
I laughed sooooo hard right in the first part of the strip that all my colleagues looked up. You will get me fired, Adam, but it will be worth it!
Die Piñata, por favor!
Okey dokey.

Weird. I know I’ve had long titles with similar names before, but never heard about any problems from those.
I went ahead and altered the title.
Unfortunately, it’s still broken. The ids are unchanged.
Hey… I keep my sketches/doodles/drawings in a manila folder. They’re better than any plastic folder because you can draw on your own “fun imagery.”
Come to think of it, I’d really like a Kathy Bates folder…
This guy makes his own suits of armor from Manila folders: http://arcega.us/section/240403_Conquistadourkes.html
Thought you might get some further inspiration, Adam.
Mmm, I used to hate sauerkraut AND sausage, but when you date a Polish guy you learn to like them lol
And on a side note, shouldn’t it be “Ya’ have to treat insurance forms like they’re Medusa” or “Ya’ have to treat an insurance form like it’s Medusa”? Sorry to go grammar Nazi on you, but the English teacher I had all throughout high school kinda ruined me lol
Yes, you are right. Will fix.
Thank goodness everything is going digital so we can get rid of those boring manila folders! There’s just no hope for them! OMG!

Ah, Minilla folders. For me, that means Social Services wants to check in on my food stamps. o.O

I beg to differ! I’ve got artwork, notes, and drawing reference in my folders.
Woo! Kathy Bates! But then, I’m not a guy, so whether or not I’ll ever put her on a folder is irrelevant here.
Must you insult Medusa?
And I’m just here with folders for screenshots and art which most of was done many a year ago.
