Panel Two: "Corpse."

Panel Three: "Drink deeply from the uncircumcised penis of a Nubian, dog."

That's Sunny. All class.

And major, major points for anyone who can guess what the binders or for. It was the entire reason I wanted to do this scene in the first place.

Pronunciation key, plz. I know a few people I would like to say that to.

I am guessing they are 'matchmaking' books. Photos of available young ladies, their finer points and their doweries.

I think I can make out the "uncircumcised penis" glyph, anyway.

Bunny beat me to my guess. I'll take second place if we're right though >_>

All I can hear in my head is the Cantonese swearing from Firefly.

Ancient Egyptian swearing. I love it!
BTW
Just received my "twofer" in the mail <3<3<3 So delighted that the "author's comments" part was included. I'm facing surgery (rotator cuff) and some major downtime. Now I'll be able to pour over the details of each page in a much more comfortable place than my 'puter chair. 'Puters are great but they can't beat a good ol' low-tech book. Whole lot easier to move back and forth in the story, for one thing.

There will be a TAZ3 -- yes? Please?

Early on in one of these comment boxes, someone (don't remember who) compared Sunny to a deranged Bert from Sesame Street. The more irritated he gets, the stronger the disturbing resemblance.

You should make those heiroglyphs into a font and call it "Nile Cursive."

"You should make those heiroglyphs into a font and call it "Nile Cursive.""

*rimshot*

My guess was that the pretty ladies had something to do with the temple girls, too. Except that the car on the next page seems a bit off - unless it's the dowry idea.

I'm gonna go with ol' Bert making a movie of some kind. Some glorious project to extoll the virtues of Nile society. And make him famous. And possibly get him some loving from the cutie on the left page.

Woah - the Egyptians knew about circumcision? I had a friend claim that it was invented by Romans to mark male Israelites, not that I believed him...
