That&#8217;s a problem when part of the plot (or joke) is communicated through said writing. This comic is the perfect example: I needed to write &#8220;Life Water&#8221; on the bottle to show that it was the <a href=\"https:\/\/keenwiki.shikadi.net\/wiki\/Lifewater_Flask\">stuff that gives you an extra life<\/a> in the game, but if it&#8217;s written in SGA, then no one will realize that unless they go through the hassle of decoding it. So that&#8217;s why I have it in both SGA and English in the last panel. My in-universe explanation is that it&#8217;s something like in Canada where things can be in English\/French or the US where they&#8217;re English\/Spanish or even in Japan where some things will be in both Japanese characters and Roman characters. On Gnosticus V, it&#8217;s just a hold over from the events in Keen 4. Or something like that. I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;m a hack writer.
