nittiest pick
Apr. 27th, 2012 09:25 pmDelilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant is a pretty decent webcomic* - I really like the art and especially the fight scenes, but despite enjoying it I stared at the second image on this page here for whole minutes, caught in a teacup-tempest of little nitpicking jitters: www.delilahdirk.com/content/?p=14.
The dude talks about red rooibos. Rooibos means "red bush". You can have the tea black, but there isn't another colour of actual rooibos. Or it wouldn't be rooibos. The creator very likely wouldn't know this because he probably doesn't speak a word of Afrikaans, so why is this absolutely killing me. /STARES
* This sounds a lot like damning it with faint praise, but just as I was really getting into it for the characters and the sense of humour, it looks like the online portion stops and it continues in print.
