fete - an elaborate party (often outdoors) fate - The development of events outside a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power.
they are pronounced similar, so "What have we done to deserve such a terrible fete" is pronounced the same as "What have we done to deserve such a terrible fate" The carnival(fete) is horrible, so it is saying that it was predestined to be that way?
"What did we do to deserve such a horrible fate", except "fate" is replaced by "fête" (a party or carnival, or similar event, maybe even can be interpreted as a celebration). Obviously, they were attempting to organized a fête, but something went wrong.
Oh, NOW I see it! At first I didn't even notice it said "fete" instead of "fate". In my defense, I didn't know "fête" had crossed over into English (it's a French word). It's not pronounced exactly like "fate", the difference is minor - think "fet" (as in "feta" or "fetid").
To be honest I love your webcomic. Just discovered it recently. Well maybe that's because I love octopi and puns (no matter if bad or good) Also I really liek your style of drawing.
uh, HELLO!? WHERE ARE MY OCTOPUN TEARS? It can't be that hard to do. An octopus with six arms knocks on a door. (yeah I mentioned it) *Knock Knock* x3 The door begins to cry for being an eternal joke among said octopi. Feast on tears begin, THE END Get the fucking lead out! *an octopus cries because his sixth arm has been shot*
People need to start posting more angry comments to get you off your lazy ass!

My favourite part of Octopuns is how the border/text/line style changes drastically between comics.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is that they don't come out very often :)

Not sure how it is for the rest of the world, but school fetes (pronounced "fate") are pretty common here among primary schools.
I know what a fete is and I still don't get it...
