It’s Nart story number two. I’ve got some more Setenaya and Sozruquo adventures I’d like to do...but first, a new challenger!

I love the way they each resemble their own creations. I once sat for a portrait sculpting class and the same thing happened.

I thought the second from the right was oddly vulva shaped, then I noticed so was her hat.

Either that or it's lime-shaped and she's quite into limes.

I think that should be 'yea big' by the way, not sure though.

Kinda hard to read the text (that's not in word balloons or the title) in the first panel -- too small not enough contrast.

@ Thomas

Hornpelle is asking in Swedish (among other things) "Why is she thanking?" In Scandinavian languages "tack" means "thanks."

Methinks vän Hornpelle is being a funny fellow.

Yes I am Swedish and I live in Göteborg. Have been to the US sometimes beacuase I have relatives in Minnesota. Have been there somee tmes. Everytime I am in the US people say I speak English with the Scandinavien accent, the strange thing. I am bored with that. When I speak French, Italian and German nobody say I speak different.
I have also been to Edmonton, Canada. My cousins live there.

@Orin J. and Eric
I, too, am noticing a trend of very, very young people talking as if adults. I don't know much about Narts, but the Mass Wild Guesser in me thinks this isn't completely commonplace, but when it does happen, you'd better listen up, yo.

@Rincewind
Tack for the translation.

@Nemo
I have had pretty good success with zooming in to read the narration. Of course, your mileage may vary.

I can ride a horse too. Began that when I wa 10. And I can judo, do you say that in English? I have seen Steven Seagal in his films. Steven have been fat now.

Looks kinda like a hairy lemon, so vagina still seems legit :P

ColdFusion:- no, 'yay big' is a rough estimate in size, not 'yay' as in cheering, it's... a regional thing (just don't ask me _which_ region as am from the lost continent of Zealandia and understood what it meant)

@Hornpelle

People in English say that they "practice judo". Some practitioners refer to themselves as "judo players" which is a bit of an odd usage. Steven Seagal practiced grappeling martial arts, but what he did was some version of aikido, a relatively young martial art with many sub-variants and many similar principles but no ne waza (wrestling and pinning on the ground). Some aikidoka practice judo ne waza just to be well rounded. Yep. Steven is pretty chunky.

@ Eric and @ Hornpelle

Well, technically you should say "I am a Judoka" which covers all bases. In English "I practice Judo" is also acceptable. "I do Judo" is less so, but not unheard of. I've never heard of "Judo players" but I won't argue it since I'm not really closely in the culture.

I am not a Judoka, but I have had to research it for some writing projects I'm involved with. My Dad practiced Judo a bit in college, along with traditional boxing, but mostly he was a wrestler. (American free-style.)

So I looked up some Nart myths on Google and I couldn't find any that matched this one. Now this could just be that no one put this one on line or I was just looking in the wrong places, but I was wondering if you had made this story up.

Sylvan says:
Nope, I didn't make this story up!

In fact, although I first found it in a paper book, you can google this one up on the webs if you dig a little deeper....

So what was the name of the book?
