    How can they understand King Arthur? Wouldn’t he be speaking some indecipherable 6th century dialect?

      Yeah, he was pre-anglosaxon Briton so his first language might’ve been some form of britonic celt. He might’ve also known Latin, Rome had lost control of the island a while ago but some of their influence remained. So either he learnt English offscreen or whatever magic brought him back can also serve as a translator.

        some form of britonic celt

        Ironically the people of Brittany in France might understand him since they speak Britonic there.

      In the alt text, the comic artist points out that “SMBC did an even more accurate version but I didn’t want to copy them too much.”

        That’s the footnote, the actual text on image hover is:

        “Oh yeah and another thing, not a big fan of the English language, or the lack of Trial by Combat in deciding our differences!”
