Anya Taylor-Ham: stumbled onto this lynda Barry comic again which always makes me a little verklempt

stumbled onto this lynda Barry comic again which always makes me a little verklempt

Strip should be in a museum itself.

The revelation is that it's Rick and Morty

Iwas thinking that. What about the v hands?

This was my Mom and I at the King Tut exhibit when I was 5 years old. She didn't think I'd be interested, so she only rented one headset explaining each display case. We listened together to each one. As an adult, I took her to another King Tut exhibit tour. Hits right in the feels.

what has the word "verklempt" to do with this comic? i´m german and "verklempt" means someone is prude. its also a rather old word no one really uses anymore.

In Yiddish it means (roughly) "overcome with emotion", guessing that's what they mean. Funny that the meaning in German isn't at all similar though.

You can sort of see it—"inhibited" vs "choked up" which does also mean you can't speak, you're stuck, etc. a much different valence but a related idea

Interesting: The Yiddish meaning (en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D7%A4%...) is also a bit different from what Americans are using it for (Merriam-Webster tracks this „verklempt“ only back to 1991) www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/v...

No, that's what "verklemmt" means. "Verklempt" is a transliteration of a related but distinct word

verklempt - Wiktionary, the free dictionaryen.m.wiktionary.org

"verklemmt" is in english too. "uptight". "verklempt" would be, i guess, "Tränan gerührt"? can't remember if i'm just mixing up the expression since it's a literal one in both languages, "moved to tears"

Pardon my selective dyslexia: I read it Van Klomp Maybe distracted by the doggy Madonna and the ghost

Fallen Madonna sells for £15k at auction - BBC Newswww.bbc.com The "masterpiece" was bought by a man from Nouvion in France, where 'Allo 'Allo was supposedly set.

Mike Myers used the word to mean “overcome with emotion and unable to speak” in an SNL skit back in the 90s; for Americans over 40 that’s probably the primary context in which they’ve encountered the word.

The howling madogga with the little howly ghost by Van Klomp ftw

Learned a new word today

Ohhh, this makes my nose tingle

I have loved Lynda’s work for years and years. She lives in Wisconsin but I have never had a chance to meet her.

To good at this.
