A goblin emerges from a man's back like a Cicada under the night sky. There are smaller goblins surrounding the scene. The man wears a crown.

A man at a computer looks away from a giant swarm of goblins in thr upper right-hand corner. There are several objects on the table. Such as a wine bottle, two books. Some paper. A speaker. Another goblin, and sleep mask. Under the table is a pair of eyes  peaking from the shadows.

He had a sinking feeling that during #goblinweek , something was watching him,

A goblin in a jester outfit drops a knife on a human down below. Human is walking forward so will likely miss.

I am seriously considering trying to learn French so I can read the new BouletCorp comics.

It would also be really cool to read pia and the little tiny things in the original language as well...

I have a bad track record with languages but it does sound fun, is duolingo still the best option?
