oh jesus, when trouble finds Setanta, its never just a little trouble, is it? Bad enough hes got one boar like Sidh wanting a piece of our little warrior, nows he's got about a dozen human like fairies after him too! Simple grudge, this is not. that hurley is goign to be seeing a shit ton of service hours before Setanta even uses it to whip....umm, nevermind, i'll be quiet now.

boar? I was thinking more into the lines of a wolf or dog? (cu sidh)

btw im not celtic. I just read a little into that stuff. =D

@Orangeman : I thought wolf at first, but the back looks too high compared to the head, and a look at the 6th panel shows two glowing lights under the eyes, that remind me of tusks. course, this is Sidh we're talking about, a predesignated form isn't exactly one of their descripters.

We'll just have to wait till Cathbad decides to grace us with his words from on High.

@Orangeman :

Hi friends
Sorry for late answer, but I'm entangled in php/javascript/mysql to the neck to finish the new CucuC (and the following week Cuchulain) interface. Less cluttered, more space for comics which will display 1024px wide from now on. And a new feature enabling users who wish it, to submit translations of individual pages in their own language, to be re-included in the sites with full credits

So.......
Stephen is right
The natural guess, as comes to Setanta/Cuchulainn is "dog, hound". And Hound there will be, you can rely on that. But for the moment, we're one year before the hound "happening" Boars, in celtic legends and lore, were supposed to be "wise" beasts. There's an old Breton Poem / folk song " Ar ranned gousperou". It's an enumerative poem, absolutely beautiful & mysterious. We'll have something on that one day. Stance 9 talks about an old boar teaching children in front of an apple tree. This is the beginning of all the "boar thing" in our comics.

Ha ha ha !!!
Cathbad is such a smiley-er !

(sorry pal, couldn't help)

Woo! i was right!

second, i'm going to try and find that poem/folk song, but any help from you guys would be much appreciated.

and third, Cath, Mirlik, with art and story this good, a delay her and there is allowable. Just don't make too much of a habit of it.

@Stephen Flint : Hey Stephen.
We haven't missed any CucuC/Cuchulainn update sofar, so delays are not so bad, ehh ?

As for comments, we always answer. Only, we seldom answer right on, for many reasons amongst which :
- we have daily jobs
- when we're working on CucuC / Cuchulainn, we're not doing anything else (ie we work 'offline' so that the work really gets done)
- we're not in the same timezone as most of our readers.
- we have a family (& both of us young babies)
- etc...

And a little delay enables better answers. We're more like turtles than hares. But we go on steadily most of the time.

And one more thing, talking amongst you, readers, is cool too ! We like that. We enjoy it when you interact with one another.

Cheers to y'all
