Oh, wow. In all my 4 months of lurking here, this has to be the first time I've seen one of these strips (specfically this series) untranslated.
I'm not asking, it's only been 8(ish) minutes since it was uploaded, just celebrating a personal milestone.

On topic.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this has to do with food...

You see dead people?

Sanae salivating looks kinda funny.

I only knows that Yuyuko's house is an eel restaurant or something and she ask both Kogasa's author and his wife to eat at her house for free or discount.

All you have to do is draw and you get free food? Where's my equipment?!

All you have to do is serve food and get free commissions? Let me fire up the stove.

$35.86 per kilo? That is about the price for ANY unfrozen fish where I live.

I kill for some eel.

And its like 7 times of the pork's price here per kilogramms.
Its close to horsemeat.

Eel is so expensive... but so delicious.

Incidentally, for fellow Americans, (which seems odd, considering this was translated into American dollars that we are still measuring in kilos...) that means that it's about $16.30 per pound of eel. That would make it one of the most expensive forms of meat over here per pound, basically three times that of pork or chicken, and twice that of beef (at least, where I live).

Of course, you still could home-cook that sort of meal and pay less than many sit-down restaurants.

Also, Mystia's eel cart in the next strip?

I want to know who Yuyuko is a stand-in for.

I'm sure it's intentional.

The obligatory upper class friend?

Eel is a delicious and most exquisite dish for me. Whenever I return home, I can expect to find my mother preparing some for me (although I manage to eat eel quite a lot). I've had my pick at different kinds, but still, freshwater eel is my pick, seawater eels don't seem to suit my taste, but nonetheless I enjoy both. The flavour and texture of eels differs from the type and from cuisine to cuisine. The kind I've had is extremely soft, the meat almost feels like it's melting in your mouth, it's incredibly soft and delicious that it gives you the impression that you're in heaven; a single bite and taste leaves you salivating and wanting more, it's no wonder Sanaewife and Kogasauthor here are salivating too.

Eel is one of my favorite foods. Wonderful texture and flavor all around.

I like tilapia myself. It has next to no flavor of its own, but this means it can accept virtually any sauce or rub and still taste good, unlike some of the stronger-flavored fish. Cod is about the only fish with a similair taste I can think of, but its texture is all wrong for me. As for eel...I've had it once or twice, and honestly am not crazy about it. Though in all fairness, this was reheated eel.

I don't get to eat eel that often either. Parents say that in Cambodia eels are bottom feeders and usually on the bottom of those rivers are human corpses. Take that as you will.

Will work for food.

I remember that if you season and cook catfish right, it'll taste like most eel dishes. It works great for sushi.
