Growing up in MN I knew it as ‘Flat Jack’ but when I moved to Utah they called it ‘Egyptian Rat-Screw.’
Yeah, it has a few names. We play it a lot in my family. I learned it as Egyptian ratscrew, but over the years that’s been shortened to just ratscrew.
If it’s known as Flat Jack, could it also bes the one Megan knows as Slapjack, or is that anothers one? >o.o<
Slapjack, or Egyptian Rat, is how my family learned it!
Hmm. The version of slapjack I know is pretty different.
Good clean fun
Ok, this one made my day 🙂
Wait, I just realized. Is his hate of being called a cheater not due to a character trait inherent, but subtle influencing by the equipment that is turning him into an Oathbreaker?
Thats an interesting theory.
HER name is Marah.
It’s been a long time since I even saw her name, Chuck. No need to get aggressive on me making a mistake
If you’re reading any aggression in that, that’s your problem.
Thanks to my old college chum, NE8K (Jake did a custom QSL card for him, which is slick beyond words!) I’ve submerged myself in the world of Yeld and (… what the heck is the place Jake in the strip live, prØtland?) anyway, I’ve got some years to go to get to the present. Impressive artwork and progress from the first days. I do wonder where this amazing childlike innocence source material for Modest comes from, sure puts a lot of strips to the sword for their too adult-like children. I’ll be around.
Glad you like the comic!
I suspect that the way I write kids comes from both being an older brother (and uncle) and teaching kids for years.
Rat-screw… or rats-crew?
Oh!
Gonna have to insist that it’s Rat’s Crew.
Its a really good name and I wish I had thought of it!
