    that can't be treasure... the b and the p can't both be e's can they?


    all I know is that in the last panel she clearly says is Happy Birthday Hsoj, and Rich thanks for that, even if it is a couple days early

    All I can say is I'm stuck by my computer with a nasty cold and have nothing better to do than crack cyphers. :-[ That said, I thought it was pretty easy.

    Except for what's already been posted:

    I fixed it in the translation, but in the acrostic, the letters would translate to "freaikn'"

    Ya. Good job all.

    And I like how Belkar has a black eye. I hope he keeps it for a number of strips. ;D

    Strip went up at 5:23, first full translation posted at 6:00.

    Looks like I'll have to be more tricky with the next one...

    EDIT: However, I did NOT spell "freakin'" wrong, you must have copied it down from the strip wrong.

    That was a quick translation. I'm glad I checked in later in the day so I read the comic, check the boards, and reread the comic knowing exactly what she said.
    This was a good one. Broken Haley sad, but funny.

    Or you could just leave the same code since I don't think she'd change her cryptogram within a few however long it is between comics ;)

    Just saw the comic, and felt so proud of myself for deciphering it. I shoulda known somebody would've gotten to it long since. :)

    I love cryptograms. (It's not an acrostic, btw.)

    Just so you know, Rich, apostrophes make for a really easy point of entry for these things. There are very few letters that can follow one, and not very many that can accompany one period. What's more, they're some of the most common letters. The letter "F" is also a dead giveaway.
