This week in Epic Fail: Dirk is becoming bored of shopping but reluctant to leave Amuletts. He makes a slip of the tongue and is mocked for it. When Amuletts makes an innuendo he flees.
Creator’s Commentary: Yes this is Epic Fail’s first running gag. It’s a gag about running.
I made a typo and this strip happened, with due influence from my own experience of tongue-slips. Very funny, very embarrassing and oh so true. “Lave” means to soothe as if by washing, never to be confused with lathe which is a woodworking tool for cutting or sanding.

“Laver” is French for “Washing”
Je lave
Tu laves
Il lave
=
I wash
You wash
He washes
🙂
Ah yes, yet another word we've stolen from the French. I was a bit worried using it, because I don't know how common it is in modern language. Kinda makes it less funny if people don't know what it means! Oh well – I see you do 🙂
Hehe, sorry about that.
I don't know how well this is known to English-speaking people though. I have no merit, I'm French Canadian. 🙂
Very amusing. My own speech is sometimes riddled with innuendos as well, so I can relate more to ammuletts, in this case.
Well, he's certainly running.
