      Indeed. The idea of the comic is not to be a vocabulary-builder, but an opportunity to enjoy words for their own sake; their sounds, their meanings, the images they can conjure in the mind, the places they take up in our imaginations.

        Is it your comic? If so, good job.

        I consider myself to have a decent vocabulary, but I would not have gotten sinuous’ definition correct.

        Harbinger I knew, but it’s nice to see In a positive example.

        The other two were new to me.

          Not mine, but I’ve been a fan of Grant’s for a few years, and I know he’d appreciate you kind words.

    I find it kind of funny that we call pointed things “star shaped” when actual stars are literally just spheres, the least pointed object you can possibly have.
