We're working on two comics other than Dark Lines, and from time to time, we would have an idea that would not be tame enough for the Hairball Chronicles comic (about our cats) or would be too impolite for our TourBunny comic (about entitled tourists). It was a source of frustration to find a way to incorporate those, so we decided to branch them off—welcome to Dark Lines. Now we make and publish one of these per week.

They range from tame and weird to overly rude and graphic, but we hope they will give you a chuckle or at least a nose exhale.

We have accounts on Instagram, Facebook, or Ko-Fi (we publish all three of our comics on this one), so check us out and follow if you like our content.

I did that 😅 I forgot again my reusable bags, so I punished myself by using no bag (instead of buying yet another one)

Guys. Everyone is wrong. You pronounce GIF as GIF. Not as GIF. Jesus.

Think gif (pronounced gift without the ‘t’) vs gif (pronounched Jif like the peanut butter).

Either being correct, I use both. Although the G in "Graphical" being hard, tend to agree, that it IS "gif".

OK, I’ll settle this for you Pandas. Wearing my IT hat here…The GIF format was invented in 1987 by Steve Wilhite, an American computer scientist. The inventor of GIF has authoritatively said the following: “The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong. It is a soft 'G,' pronounced 'jif.' End of story." The intended pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand Jif. So when you mispronounce it with a hard G, you unmask yourself to an IT professional. For those without access to the technical literature: https://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/21/an-honor-for-the-creator-of-the-gif/

And as an aside, dictionaries do not dictate how words *should* be pronounced. The linguists who write the content act as anthropologists peering through the reeds to observe how language is spoken in the wild, then record their findings. This is why Oxford has the entry that it does.

The inventor himself said it’s pronounced „jif“. If I invent something and people argue about how it’s pronounced, I tell them, and they still argue, I would end up going rampage.

The guy who invented the GIF even said it's pronounced "jif". But hey, feel free to tell someone the thing they invented and named is pronounced wrong. While you're at it, how about you tell someone their own name is pronounced wrong.

Has he ever explained why he wants it pronounced that way? Because Graphics has a hard G, so it doesn't really make sense to pronounce it like J. I get the vibe that this guy is one of those people who names his kid Pth@elt35 and pronounces it Steve.

I had to look this one up, “A proctologist is a surgical specialist with a focus on diagnosing and treating disorders of the colon, r****m and a**s. Proctologists often are seen for complex lower digestive tract issues or when surgery is needed to treat the patient.”
