CucuC - little Brute from the Iron Age

All Disone(s) sure as hell ARE in trouble

The questionning of Cuchulainn's ghost by the god Oghme, quite unconvincing by the way, ends abruptly as the former comes to the realization that he is quite dead. But most of all, because of some stone coming loose from a ceiling. Funny how these things happen.

He's talking to himself?

You know, with both CucuC and Cu Chulainn running simultaneously, sometimes i get confused. Especially now with Tuan taking Oghmes form? When i read CucuC i wonder where Morrigan is, and vice versa with Cu Chulainn's ghost in the other. =P

Anyway, I've got a theory running in the hamster wheel of my mind. The fibula took Setanta from the time of his death. What i'm imagining is much like the character Saber in Fate/Stay Night. Taking from the time of his death his memories at that time. But Bairfionn didnt show this recollection so it could be that Setanta is special in this sense?

Or I could just be dead wrong. =P
Then again thats what most speculation is anyway.

@Orangeman : Hi, we hope this is not confusing to the point where you don't enjoy it anymore. If you had the chance to read them as books, 120 pages at a time, things would (hopefully) become less confusing.

As a matter of fact, this is Oghme here, not Thuan. Thuan has been "calmed down" by Oghme the Thuathan God.

NOW FOR SOME SPOILERS:
People who are acquainted with the Book of Invasions know who Thuan is, and what the fact of the last Nemedian being hold captive by a Thuatha (this is not in the original story) might mean. Oghme captures Thuan's appearance and energy. In the myths, Thuan is a shapeshifter, and one of the shapes he assumed was that of a huge wild boar.

This fibula (there are several, if you remember), being used for ageing purposes on someone who will never see the targetted age, creates a singularity in space/time/whatever. Setanta cannot be "extended" to age 20, for he will never reach age 20 ; but the fibula tries, anyway, for it's its purpose. And brings back what would be the closest to a 20 years old Cuchulainn, back to Setanta's time.

Now, where has Setanta gone ? More later on.

NB : this is rather intricate, and cannot be explained in one passage only. In a novel, no problem. IN a graphic novel, and a serialized one to make matters worse, whose genre calls for specific story formats (gag a day,... or straightforward narative focusing on one character, period) well,...
But we wanted to try something different.

He’s not talking to himself, but to the little black disones. cf. p. 42

"If you had the chance to read them as books, 120 pages at a time, things would (hopefully) become less confusing."

Yeagh, I highly recommend to read the pages published so far again in one session. 46 pages doesn`t take much time, but you will discover a lot of references memory lost over the course of nearly a year. At least this is what I experienced.

@Eosphoros : yup, disone is right.
@Roland : ... which is cool We intend to release the first volume of CucuC next spring (we have some 20 more pages to go), for print. (POD most likely)

Hi there,

I've got a short question. What is the explicit meaning of "disone" Scán translatet it to german with "dingsda" which is used if the right name of an object just won't come to your mind like in "Please give me the ..., what's the name... the dingsda..., ehm the hammer, yes, that's it"

But I don't think that this word fits the meaning of "disone" It just makes no sense in my opinion.

I think of "disone" as somekind of negative aspect of "being" or existence. Like "He who is not." Or "He who is in the otherworld" ?

But if this is what it means then I would have no idea of a fitting german translation...

Please enlighten me

Yours
Druid Dubh

P.S: Of course I will not forget to mention that Cucuc and CuChulainn are great webcomics... Thanks for the steady updating...

@DruidDubh

I chose this translation because CathBad explained their usage of the word "Disone" to me. They use it as a word for about anything that goes beyond their little minds. They refer to anything like People, Animals, Flowers, Things, and even themselves as "disones". So I and Cathbad found "Dingsda" a fitting translation for that.

@ Scan:

Thanks, this seems usefull to me...And it explains lot.

Hi.
As Scan says, "disone" means "this one", only the little buggers have a fairly limited vocabulary, so whenever they designate something, its "this one". "disone's sure that disone's gonna get plenty angry if all disones turn out to report to disone". This, in turn, explains the ascertained inefficiency of the little dark fairies' organization.

By the way, "disone" is the way a French learning English would pronounce "this one".

Lovely, in depth comic! It's really made me want to learn more about Celtic myths. Can't wait for the updates again.

Where's is everyone? The third week in January has come and gone. Still no updates. I'm on the edge of my seat to see what happens next. The nearly two month of wait is getting to me!
