562 – Many Hands, Light Work

The Halfling language is, in my world, Welsh. why not?


One of the things that I love about doing this strip is the feedback I get from all of you. There have been more than a few times where a very thoughtful "atta boy!" from one of my readers has brightened my day, and I mean that sincerely.

An astute new commenter noticed my little Welsh joke, but unfortunately, I can't put his/her comment up on the site because he/she provided a fake email address. Only thing is, the way I have my website set up, if you want to comment on anything, you have to provide a valid email address. I don't do anything with them; long-time readers can attest to just how much spam I've sent them once I had their email addresses (read: none).  Once you do, it goes into my "pending authorization" file until I approve it. Once you get approved, you no longer need to wait for authorization and can post comments to your heart's content.

Sorry about that,

  1. Many hands made of light, ectoplasm and a mind count as “light” work. Then again the Doctor on Star Trek Voyager was a working light.

  2. Consider the following: an elderly Sioux, repairing a floor lamp, is asked his name. His reply: “Many Hands.”

    You may now groan and call me a vile paronomasiac. And it’s only fair for me to confess that I’ve stolen this from Spider Robinson.

  3. But wouldn’t they have replied ” paid a deud – eich gwasanaeth!” or something similar if summoned in “iath byr”?

    BTw – Wales has a folk-legend of the “tylwth teg”, the “little People”….
