En espanol, "no mire" is the correct translation for "don't look". The latin word "miror" doesn't fit either, so for now, It's all Pepe's secret :smile:
"Mirran" would be the infinitive of the verb: i.e., "to look" Um, David... if you made a little goof regarding your Spanish grammar we forgive you... but is that what you meant?

I was originally looking for a Redrum in the message. Spanish makes a lot more sense at this point.

I change my guess also to the sin Pride. This should come out intresting, since there never was in depth look at the other sins out there. We know plenty about Wrath (for obvious reasons) and Lust. This should be fun.
Actually... we know very little about the sin Wrath. All we've ever had about Jack's mortal past was a brief glimpse of his standing in front of a podium informing an unsees audience that they were all about to die.

I would be thrilled to death if this is the storyline that finally casts light upon Jack's dark and tormented past... but then, I end up being thrilled about all of David's storylines anyway.

Actually, I was just tossing letters about. If I actually came close to a real word it was unintentional.

Somehow, I find that more frightening than anything else that was posted here... that you wrote "Don't look!"... in a MIRROR... with something ominous in the reflection... in a language you don't speak... and didn't know you were doing it.

I'm going to go do a rosary now....

I have no idea how you do it Dave, but every part of every strip, even if it's an unintetional one, makes us think. You deserve a nobel prize for that. Ok, I'm exaggerating again, I'll shut up now...

Well...

'no miran' translates literally to 'They do not watch'
.. there's obviously a reason that the mirror was turned towards the wall. The writing is a warning. DON'T LOOK!

'You know how in horror movies there's always one scene where the people do something really stupid and you hate them for it?'

'Yeah?'

'THIS IS THAT SCENE!'
