Mimi: Ayum meykin a deyzee!
Clem: I'm drawing a rocket ship!
Clem: What are you working on, Pasquale?
Pasquale: I'm practicing subtraction!
Mimi: Yoor rooinin chawk ahrt dey!
Hey! Language! (I would only object on this page. Won’t tell you what we called a spade when we were shovelling pig manure. We didn’t call it manure, either.)But you’re quite correct.
I usually dislike bad or phonetic spelling, but Mimi can get away with anything as far as I am concerned. My favourite Mimi-ism was “Mota Syka Ryda”, when asked what sort of boyfriend she would like.
Apparently, Clem and Mimi ‘figured’ that Pasquale was ‘subtracting’ from the beauty of their art (which was very good, after all). Btw, it appears that Mimi’s reaction ‘stems’ from Clem’s (Aak!)
They better watch out or they’ll get arrested. Did you see the news where people were getting arrested for chalking sidewalks in Los Angles? I wonder if that’s the reason this particular theme is on the strip this week.
Pasquale, you already know your addition and subtraction backwards and forwards. You need to develop your artistic talents more than you need to rehash your math skills.
Mimi is speaking Pasqualise, a language invented when Pasqual was a baby, the same age as Mimi is now. It was a way to put baby talk into a form we could understand. It is not bad grammer, it is infantile speech.
A bit late back here, have to say that I was responding to a now deleted post. As I said, didn’t really offend me, amongst adults it was quite witty, Nightgaunt, but not appropriate in this sweet strip. I did not flag the poster.“Mota Syka Ryda” = motorcycle rider, as Julie Thibodeau said.Jack Garrott: I have not lived in Japan, but my involvement with Japanese may not be appropriate for a G-Rated strip. Love ’em.
There is actually a great deal of math in art. It becomes more essential in the fine arts, especially in sculptures and in paintings. The golden ratio, perspective, repitition, balance, even matters of color theory and mixing depend heavily on principles of math. Graphing (on a cartesian or polar grid) is also useful at times. Balance, weight, the angles at which light hits objects and reflects again – these also have their foundations in mathematical principals.
3D graphics, interactive graphics, creating natural looking maps or terrain, etc, may require some more complex math or trigonometry at times as well. [Especially if one is doing art for video games, or creating a fractal based map].

@Ottodesu – I take it your wife’s Japanese, so that you live (or lived) in Japan. I agree with your comments, by the way.

I have some advice for you, if you don’t have anything nice to post, then don’t post anything at all.
Doctor11 almost 12 years ago
I love Clem’s reaction. It’s funny!

With me and the others, I would except “tee”, “peeve”, or “pee”.

No, Clem is a boy.
