150: Language Famine

Panel 1: Blue and purple stone wall background with a giant waterfall that splits into a stream on each side. In front is a dirt and grass area with various green lights around. There’s a barn owl named Cupcake and a turkey named Tofu.
Cupcake speaks Gaeilge (Irish), “Is breá liom an domhan agus gach rud ann!”
(“I love the world and everything in it!”)

Panel 2: Tofu bursts, “Speak English! It’s the official language and better than whatever made up words you’re using.”

Panel 3: Cupcake responds, “All words are made up… And knowing multiple languages is mentally enriching.”

Tofu says back, “English has made me rich enough. Especially in potatoes…”

Panel 4: Cupcake replies, “Go dtachta an diabhal thú.”
(“May the devil choke you.”)
