As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520.
Someone pointed out the other day that this cartoonist likes to “connect” the scenes in the panels, and now I notice it every time it happens.
how does it work in this strip? I noticed a few cross panel things in other comics (Jucika pointing at a woman in a previous panel)
It’s just pleasantly aligned, not necessarily a connected scene. The overpass lines up in this one, and the track does in the post from yesterday.
oh ok. I was expecting more of an explicit overlap like the one I pointed out here :

Those (these?) two seem more… general?
Oh yeah, I didn’t notice that the other day until you mentioned it. It’s nicely done and sort of 4th wall breaking.
The comic where someone first commented on it was this one, where the 2nd and 3rd panels sort of connect:

Since then, I’ve been noticing that the artist seems to like doing this on purpose.
Oh Jucika, you scamp!
I had to check which one of us said it first :D

Omg, lol, ok you’re right. My memory is clearly not to be trusted.
how dare you not remember every single thing that happens on a shitty website in the order it happens in? You must be suffering from

Look at the lines in the fences.
I wonder how you are sposed to pronounce her name. I have been assuming juice-ika.
“yutsikah”, with the ut in “yut” sounding like “put”, apparently.
yoo - 'ts-ee - kah
yoo as in you
'ts as in tsunami
ee as in glee
kah as in karate
… is how my brain and mouth are trying to make sense of this.
Apparently Hungarian has a 'tsi / 'tsee sound that is basically like the Japanese 'tsu, just with a different trailing vowel.
For whatever reason, in Japanese, there is only 'tsu, there is no… 'tsah or 'tsee or 'tsoh.
And in Hungarian … there is only 'tsi/'tsee … no 'tsu or 'tsah or 'tsoh.
… I have spent the last hour being baffled and also making consonant and vowel sounds randomly, like a madman.
I believe it’s pronounced something like “YOOTS-ika” in the original Hungarian.
Me, I have an Hungarian uncle, and actually have been to Lac Balaton, where I had to learn some basic Hungarian in order to order ice cream for a few forints. XD
Eh… FWIW?

was it paprika flavoured?
LOL.
No, but much of the local dishes were.
This is what I’ve been hearing from people too.
Last year I took a steam train. It’s a real 100 year old steam train running all summer on a 20km track, as a tourist attraction. Goes through nice landscapes, pretty cool experience in general.
But, yeah, on the return trip we chose the car closest to the engine. The smoke is definitely something.
If you haven’t seen It the largest steam train in the world was restored by union pacific, #4014 big boy. It’s basically two heavy freight locos welded together into one machine over a hundred feet long. Lots of great videos of it online including a great video where it helps out a stalled mainline freight train running actual customer UP freight.
There’s one in Bournemouth that runs to Corfe Castle? I forget the route, but it was fun. Super torquey. They used the same one in the Dunkirk movie
The one I got on is on the other side of the Channel :)
In northern Britanny specifically.
That reminded me of riding the Skunk Train when I was a kid over 40 years ago. I looked it up and it’s nice to see it’s still in service!
