Okay. Alright. I'm just gonna come out and say it already.

There is a running gag in this cartoon that I can't tell if people have picked up on or not. No one has ever mentioned it. But it's been consistently happening in this comic since the opening pages. I think the Catsu Curry page  is where it started. 4 or 5 or 6.

Okay so if you don't know what I'm talking about, go to that page. And it's also on this page. See if you can figure out my cheeky little joke I have been making repeatedly throughout this comic.

Go now!

 ...

Okay, welcome back. Did you figure it out? Did you even LEAVE? Party pooper!

It's the swearing.

Go on check again. See if you can piece it together. Or maybe you already realised?

Every single swear word is censored using various symbols. Except...you can still clearly see the word. The symbols I choose always spell the exact word really clearly, especially the way I draw it.

I'd call it a mixture between a joke and a stylistic choice. It's like, cartoons and comics have this thing they do (the symbols I mean) that imply bad language without actually using bad language. But Tuft Luck (as you well know) ain't that kinda comic. So it's stylistically like a family friendly cartoon, but again...you can very clearly read the work as if it was written normally. To be honest, I think the way it ends up looking is pretty neat.

So that's my joke. I was making it the whole time. Now that we're near the end it's time I come clean about these kinds of things. Also...I didn't know what else to write about today. I suppose this is the comic book equivalent to when an adult comedy is censored on tv, but you still hear like the first and last sounds, so it becomes some pretty f(bleep)cking redundant sh(bleep)t.

But lets all be honest. The swearing doesn't matter. What REALLY should have been censored, was that guy in the cat costume back with Tuft's family. I've counted FOUR perverts in this comic. Or what about that bit where they ate that guys head? Man, this comic is f(bleep)cking nuts.
