I LOVE writing these dialogues :-) And look! I used a thought bubble!! How the heck did this happen? (It's probably Brian M. Bendis' fault, who uses thought bubbles ingeniously on his Mighty Avengers book…)
Actually I ended up cutting some lines of HIS, because otherwise it wouldn't have been quite as ambiguous what he's talking about. And the fun here is all about ambiguity.
I fear the day I'll have to translate this to German T__T
Hope you enjoy!

flapjack1995: Thanks!
Nepath: Especially not in my comics :-)
Midge: Thanks a lot!
mlai: Yessss, these hands are especially for you :-) I AM German in fact; I write all of my comics in English, but I'd like my fellow Germans to read them too. Thanks for the compliments; I don't watch many TV series these days, because I rarely find anything worth investing the time. Usually I find one good series roughly every ten years, and then I'm madly addicted :-) I'd say if any of my writing is good, then it's probably because I'm not a professional writer, and I tend to write spontaneously. This has changed a bit over the last years, but signifikat is the one comic where this concept still applies 100%.
DAJB: I don't know about the UK, but there are at least two or three red squirrels living in the direct vicinity, and zero grey ones :-) And you're so right about German… usually I just take the liberty and cut some stuff, or expand it elsewhere. I translated the first chapter of this comic last week and it worked fairly well, considering all the tight dialogue on the first few pages.
JustNoPoint: Well, I used to be allergic to thought bubbles… reading other people's minds creeped me out :-) But I do think that they're not as popular as they used to be. If you look at classic superhero comics, they always have the heroes thinking to themselves ("must… use… powers…!!"), today you find them rarely - or at least not quite as abundantly. Glad I managed to confuse you! :-)
