Another answer for the the * meme.
* Blanche and his shadow don’t get along, and he has lost track of it more times than he cares to remember. The shadows of white stags aren’t really alive, but they’re mischievous, and will sneak off given even the suggestion of a chance (lucky for Blanche, white stag shadows are only really active when they’re very young- by the time a stag hits his 20s their shadows are mellow and lazy and very rarely run off). Still, despite this Blanche and his shadow have an unusually lousy relationship- the time when Blanche stumbled into Mag Mell by mistake and his shadow decided to stay behind, forcing Blanche to go through year six in school without a shadow was… well, Blanche still doesn’t like to talk about it.
There are so many interesting things about Blanche and white stags that I have not been able to showcase in Skin Deep. Every day I am honored that Sfé let me use is characters in Skin Deep yaaay.

It seems like you took a normal conversation and just replaced parts of it with strange made up words.
Na, What they’re seems legit :D. I heard Kory’s making an actual version of Baragrove, which should be fun to play :).
Whether made up or not I think is sort of debatable, since these are all words from Lewis Carrol and the “Wonderland” tales he wrote. Are the words made up? Yes. By the author of Skindeep? No!
For more on this, check the words to “Jabberwocky” from “Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There” 1872
Dude, I totally want to play. They say the guy who wrote wonderland was high when he did it, but I think that just bought something we on this mindset wouldn’t be able to begin coming up with.
Mate, Wonderland was a parody of new types of mathematics that were being introduced at the time of writing.
I find the best way to check to see if any author was high at the time of writing is to check to see if all it says is “Dude! Dude, dude, dude, dude…. Dude! Yea, We need more cheetos dude.”
Clearly, Eleanor and Rupert are just playing Mornington Crescent and didn’t have an Underground map handy.
In the second to last panel, in Rupert’s hand. The third card from the left is the Cheshire Cat, Am I right?
First panel… is that Sam, actually smiling?
I imagined this game to be kind of like poker but with wonderland based cards, but the uno-like version sounds like a good idea :D
