The Giddy Limit
I've become (thanks to winterbadger) a real fan of The Giddy Limit, a cartoon strip written in Orkney. For those who don't know, Orkney consists of the islands to the north of Scotland. It's wet, windy and has very long nights in winter.
The drawings often reflect this:
The language reflects the local dialect. You get used to it with a bit of common sense and an occasional trip to Google. I've just updated the Wikipedia entry for 'trivial monacha' to include it's Orkney name of groatie buckies. (It's a shell, a bit like a small cowrie, may possibly have been used as money at some time.)
Does anyone know if there's an RSS feed of this strip?
