They say that curse words are the first thing you learn in another language, so logically they would understand. XD;

Question is, if they understand the cusswords so well, why do they still play gangsta rap over the convenience store sound system?

It's not what you say, but how you say it! It is obvious what our hero said just by the context, vocalizations, volume, etc.

Japanese are typicially very reserved, so any outbrust alerts everyone, and makes for a very awkward situation.

Or, more to the point, people's curse words in their own language carry less bravado then ones in another's language. What a world.

Great comic, Khalid. I love to see an artist who lets their own styles ring throughout every fiber of their work, and is not mandated by the staples of what is and is not popular at the moment. I aspire to be a cartoonist like you someday, to be so developed in a talent that I can make my own style.

Keep it up!
