Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I read that word and immediately heard them in my head
Fun fact: The past tense of "wend" was once "went", but that was co-opted for the past tense of "go", and the past tense of wend is now "wended".
"But what was the past tense of 'go' before that?"
Kind of hard to tell what it would be now, but "goed" does seem likely - like we might have said as toddlers - but irregular "yode" / "yoed" is closer to the old form and is also possible.
Evidence from other Germanic languages as well as "do" becoming "did" suggests a less likely "gid", "gig", "ging" or even "gang" (compare "sang").
Man etymology is so neat
Ignominious
adjective;
deserving or causing public disgrace or shame
"the party risked ignominious defeat"
Just an idea for part 6
Dorothy and friends wend their way along the aureate, anfractuous road and only lollygagged for some flowers.
I always thought “lollygag” was a southern speech idiom, like “piddling” or “dilly-dallying.”
Hey I know aureate from the Red Riding series! (DAMN good series btw)
From wence doth thou wend?
