The Kittywhiskersmewmew Family must have a name so terrifying it’s not fit for polite print.
Maybe it’s something like…. “The Pillage and Rapists”.
I find curious the idea of dragons acomodating to human society
The drawing as good as always ^^
Rrrghgh is a pretty cool name though! I’d love to have that name.
This whole etymology of the names is totally hilarious. Transliterating the roars into more harmless names is a really fun and creative idea.

I love this. So much. And I can so see a certain other dragon, from another comic, helping come up with some of those ‘human-friendly’ names.
I know it’s completely irrelevant, but what’s that poster in the background?
I was wondering the same thing.
Tater loves these guys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thursday_(band)
So I guess Paarthunax was translated to “happy old guy”?
So what did Smudgegaard used to be? Something relatively inoffensive I imagine.
“Those Who Purposely Rub Their Feet On The Carpet Before Shaking Hands”
Maybe it’s some obscure Scandinavian dialect for something like, say, “sneeze-guard”.
On an unrelated note: I really like how you seem to have put a *lot* of thought into this world you’re creating, and how dragons have changed their names over the years, and stuff. I love little bits of world fluff and history like this. So much.
Then came “Bluetooth Wilson” and the human face was angry again.
I love it! This is really funny. 😀
I’m imagining saying hi to dragon friends with those names and trying to be casual about it.
LOL just love Tater’s face expression in the last panel.
Now now, the shiny red baloon name can still be terrifying, anyone remember 99 red baloons? That was about nuclear holocaust you know.
“How about we rename to ‘ShinyRedBalloons’? That’s harmless, right?” “No! Think about the color red! They’d think we were all…. reddish. Like blood and rawr and…” “No, Arargh, for the last time I told you we are NOT naming ourselves the ShinyFuchsiaBalloons”
