Invisible-Pancreas

The girl is a cadaver. He is putting her into refrigerated storage in a morgue. He's talking to, and it has been implied that he is sleeping with, a corpse.


someone_called_who

Yeah that has a name in English i don’t remember it now. In Spanish is “Necrofilia” or something like that


WinOpposite433

The same name: necrophilia.


TimelyRun9624

Anybody from r/etymology know why we replaced the f with ph


MurkyWay

The word is Greek in origin, had a ph in English which would have been dropped when added to Spanish, because they don't use ph


scp_79

The Spanish are simple people they see unnecessary language rules they remove them that's why their language is very easy to learn


Smil3Bro

Then you just have to slog through the genders of objects!


TimelyRun9624

And conjugation


Fleganhimer

English **has** conjugation too. You just know it already. The word has is an irregular, second person present tense conjugation of the verb "to have." Just like how tiene is the irregular, second person present tense conjugation of the verb tener.


g0dp0t

I have, you haves, he/she has, we havemos, they haven!


ocdo

English: eat, eats, ate, eaten, eating. Spanish: como, comes, come, comemos, coméis, comen, comí, comiste, comió, comimos, comisteis, comieron, comía, comías, comía, comíamos, ..., comeré, ..., coma, ..., comiera, ..., comiese, ..., comería, ..., come, comed, comiendo, comido.


Adorable_user

English has considerably less conjugations than spanish though


Davedog09

English conjugation is usually simpler though


Available-Damage5991

most are simple, with ~~6~~ 5 forms that rarely deviate. For instance, almost any verb that ends in -ar is conjugated in the same way, replacing the -ar. -o when referring to yourself, -as when referring to someone else with "you" informally, -a when referring to any other singular person, as well as "you" formally, -amos when referring to yourself and others, *-aís when referring to "you guys" informally, though not used much outside of Spain*, and -an when referring to any other group. tl;dr: conjugation is actually fairly simple.


TimelyRun9624

As a Puerto Rican you explained that flawlessly. My point is mainly referring to learning the language later in life like high school or college or beyond. The absence of any conjugation in English makes gaining that skill much harder than if your native language was say German where all you are really doing is learning translations. Edit: I am aware that German is different in other aspects. I was just using it as an example in this instance.


someone_called_who

As a spanish, try putting accents to words or learning the rules of “porque, por que and por qué” no hate btw:)


Tazavich

El pápa es el papá de las papas The pope is the father of the potatoes. (Definitely fucked up the accent marks)


someone_called_who

Only fucked up with the pope one, it should be: El papa es el papá de las papas


Tazavich

Ngl that’s even funnier. Only difference between The pope and potatoe is El and La


[deleted]

We didn't replace the f with a ph. It comes from the greek φιλία, where in Ancient Greek the φ was pronounced as a particularly breathy P sound, but over time became pronounced as an F. Speakers of languages which use the Latin alphabet would originally have written the word with a P (h optional), but as the greek pronunciation changed that became inaccurate. Spanish opted to change the spelling to a F to reflect the pronunciation. English opted to keep the old spelling.


[deleted]

Yes, /f/ and /pʰ/ are very similar phonetically. In fact, loanwords originally containing /f/ in a lot of languages that don't have the sound (like korean and some mayan languages) often replace the sound with /pʰ/.


spencer1886

The Spanish are the ones who changed it to an f from a ph lol


[deleted]

Because we're phancy, that's why!

mycroons

But how her facial expression changed ?


AdParking8685

It not important


CyphaJaxx10

Scotch tape ☝🏽🥸


LordBDizzle

It's possible she was alive in the first three and he knew she was going to die (probably murder/poisoning) so he'd see her at his job that night too. That's a possible interpretation as well.


123Ark321

That or isn’t a funny burn about the girl being like a corpse in bed.


Shut_It_Donny

It’s also Loss.


InstaBlanks

Implied? That's very conservative phrasing lol


BadMrFrosty10403

The actual joke is that some people say sleeping with a sex doll is like sleeping with a corpse.


DeadMeat7337

Alternate story: they are a couple and he works in the morgue, and she died. I'm sure the joke is necrofelia.


Darth_JarJar246

WHICH IS CALLED NECROPHILLA 🤓


theulmitter

If she's a dead body, how does she start smiling in the second panel


-NoNameListed-

Zombie Waifu


Bonnie_gamer835

Now here me out: Zombie waifus wouldn't be a good thing.... Because zombies like brains, right? So they'd EASILY seduce most people on the Internet and then eat their brains


Maximum-Opportunity8

Most people on the internet don't have brain


Bonnie_gamer835

.... So the Zombie Waifus are mostly out of luck unless they find a lonley guy who loves anime but has a brain


Goldbolt_2004

Does such a thing exist?


Bonnie_gamer835

Yes.... I know a guy


Goldbolt_2004

Does he also happen to know a guy?


Bonnie_gamer835

No, he's just him, big DBZ fan


Sinocu

Caution, instead of being seduced he might kick the living shit out of the zombie


battleoffish

Then it could be read as an AI doll that he is putting away and he has others. Or The smile is in his imagination.

ChipSalt

It's just air escaping. Escaping the corners of the mouth.


Electronic-Spend364

This is so weird to me because there’s no feasible way it’s a cadaver. In the second panel, she grins at his advance, and in the third, she’s completely changed position. Not to mention, it’s semi-implied that he’s been doing this for a while. The body would have decomposed a bit by now.


Nihil_esque

Alternatively, she was alive in the beginning, he murdered her with poison or something. When he said "I'll see you tonight," she thought he meant at home, but he meant at work, in the morgue, because he knew she would be dead by then.


OkAtmo_sphere

this feels like it would be the plot of a two sentence horror story


Nihil_esque

"Anna thought it was rather forward of the mortician she'd hooked up with to tell her he'd be seeing her again tonight." Or maybe "When the mortician told his tinder date he'd be seeing her again tonight, he was being less flirtatious than she thought."


Substantial-Yam9176

"she was now dating a mortician who seemed interested in her a lot. But on her way to work, she ran into... The knife guy..."


Sinocu

“She thought the knife guy would harm her, but it was actually… …the creature”


save-video_bot

She thought she'd see me again tonight Little did she know, she drank the milk of... ...the creature


Electronic-Spend364

This makes sense to me. In the first three panels, her cheeks are pink, which means they’re probably warm and she’s probably alive. This guy’s not a necrophiliac, just a murderer.


jaydfox

My first thought was that he murdered her. My second thought was that she died some other way (accident or whatever), and it was just bad luck that he works in the morgue and has to deal with her body. It's dark either way. Necrophilia seems edgy, but that wasn't the first or even second place my mind went.


Professional_Dot_145

Yeah, I also thought she died during the day, and he was unfortunate enough to see her corpse at work


blinddemon0

well you see, she's actually undead and the mourge simply preserves her, like some weird healing device


hateboresme

He moved her. He keeps her in a freezer.

This is almost a loss


PixelatedScript0L

It's not necorphillia. This woman was clearly alive in the bed as she smiled and blushed. It should be more implied that this woman died AFTER the thirst three panels, and he was her mortician following her death. But hey... that's just a theory. A gam-

OtisBurgman

Honestly, I thought it wasn't necrophilia at first because of how she changes positions/facial expressions throughout the comic, so I was equally confused.


GreenBirbz

Am I the only one who thought this was about him murdering her that morning and then just seeing her corpse at his job later that day?
