A comic strip on Arnold von Harff
This is for Dimitra Triantafyllidou and for Kelvin Zifla. It’s in Greek, so it’s not for most of you. One of the first records of Albanian is in the travelogue of Arnold von Harff, as he went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem via the Balkans in 1496. Everywhere he went, he recorded a few words […]
In memoriam Gerasimos Arsenis
Context: Dimitra Triantafyllidou’s answer to How does one cook lokma? I was bantering with Dimitra on the Melbourne nouveau Lokma place, St Gerry’s. Named after the patron saint of Cephallonia, Gerasimus of the Jordan. Which reminded me of the funniest joke I’ve heard in Greek, told by the late Gerasimos Arsenis, another Cephallonian. As recounted […]

In fact, I think I’ll start doing those as well… Lyonel threatened appropriate retaliatory action, involving dead fish. To which I […]
Lara will not eat green beans or aspic
Context: Lara Novakov’s answer to What was the worst meal that you ate out of politeness? Lara declared her dislike of пихтије/πηχτή (aspic), which she said she dislikes even more than бораније/φασόλια (green beans). We had some banter on this, which I ended up rendering in art: https://www.quora.com/What-was-t… And who am I to disappoint… Posted […]
