If you invert the first two panels you get Loss.

But then the joke that fox is telling wouldn't make sense

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

It still is funny but in a slightly darker way.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Then I won't do that. Thanks for pointing that out.

gekkering

I didn’t even question that this is the verb a fox would use to laugh with.

Fun fact: I almost embarrassed myself and wrote "geckering", but my wife corrected me at the last second.

Geckering is how monkeys laugh. Foxes gekker.

There's also an audio file for gekkering but that's the pronunciation for the word, not the actual example...

It almost is, it would translate as 'crazy ring'.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

It really does.

I translated the joke

A fox walked into a tavern and said, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one'."

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Ah, a fellow Sumerian.

[–] MvPts@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

You sent me into a rabbithole..

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Huh...

I guess you had to be there.
