Butts Everywhere: A funny and helpful visual guide to differentiating between Asian scripts

Hanging snakes. Fancy hats. Alien eyeball tentacle creatures. And butts.

Do they seem unrelated to you? Wrong!

If you can’t read a single Asian language, and have no plans to learn to do so, you might find it useful to be able to at least tell what script is in front of you – for example, to be able to tell the type of cuisine from a menu, or to avoid an accidental racist faux pas.

Check out this hilarious piece for the linguistically challenged from travel and language webcomic Itchy Comic by Malachi Ray Rempen.

Just hope you never encounter hat-wearing snakes coiled around knives raining on butts.
