This is one of my favorite pages in a while, as if features Sydney at peak Sydney. You have to forgive her for forgetting to lead with English, but she got excited about breaking out her vast repertoire of fictional alien greetings.

As a first contact protocol, shotgunning a bunch of different languages probably isn't the best strategy. Especially if, like Sydney, you only know a handful of words from each one. Sydney is properly fluent in Klingon though, and while Qapla' isn't actually a Klingon greeting, I thought it would be easier for you guys to recognize than the actual word, which seems to be "nuqneH." I vaguely recall hearing that in an episode or two, but if there's a single word that means "Yo, what up, Klingon here.", it's Qapla'.

This particular page features a pair of cameos. One of them shouldn't be too hard to figure out. The other one is preeeety obscure, I think. I'll probably blab about it one someone guesses it, cause it's from something cool I saw when I was a kid. Weirdly, and I didn't know this until a few years ago, but it was my first exposure to the Cthulhu mythos. That's all the hints you get. :)

Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. $1 and up, but feel free to contribute as much as you like.
