#1830: Tenses

This Comic's Storylines:

This Comic's Cast:

There's a series of novellas about the Time Patrol, and I mention this because they describe the temporal language used by the Time Patrol that contains enough tenses to describe any time travel situation perfectly. Of course we don't have that in English, so the tenses get severely fucked very quickly.
 
    

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...

These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...

They actually do something heroic.
