 Haha,

*(> maqtaq)*

good picture, there.
But what means the text within the balloon? Is it spelled "Dr! Lb Cgb"?

Allerbest!

It isn't in Roman script, Jonny, but in *Titirausiq nutaaq*, the Inuqtitut
syllabary predominant in Nunavut and various other parts of Canada. It says,
*Uhi! Maqtaq!* ("Ah! Maqtaq!"). Part of the fun is having it in the
"illegible" script. a.k.a. "chicken scratches." The ladies are really eating
muktuk.

A reminder, folks: the site: http://lowlands-l.net/beyondthepale/
