Oh, wow... is that Space: 1999 wallpaper?
And I'd still call Anubis an idiot for wanting to go back in time, when he could stay right here with Sans, ride around with her on her bike, and have all sorts of adventures. Anubis, you mutt, open your eyes!
English idioms:
-- Unlike many languages, English has a progressive form of the present tense, for actions in process: "I'm almost starting to have fun."
-- At least here in Canada, people say "good night" as a form of farewell, not as a greeting. Perhaps Mr. Scafandrola might say, "Good evening, Miss Souci!!!" (Unless, of course, she disturbed him in his sleep, in which case he might say "Good night," as a sarcastic hint to leave him alone.)
-- Also, in English, people make messes with pies (or with anything else that's handy).
-- And finally, people say, "this kind of thing," or, "these kinds of things" -- consistently singular, or consistently plural.
By the way, Sans is adorable, especially in the 1st, 4th, and 6th panels.
Really adorable. Yep.
Did I mention that Sans is adorable...?

Yep, I LOVED the future of the seventies, it was so stilish!
Gosh, the progressive present tense is probaly one of the hardest things to catch. I should really buy some book whit exercises, I feel the limitation of having learned the language 'on the road' when it comes to talk about verbes...

>>I LOVED the future of the seventies, it was so stilish!
And much more colourful than the future of the future.
>>Gosh, the progressive present tense is probaly one of the hardest things to catch.
Only because many other languages don't use it. But it's actually very simple:
In any tense, when action is continuing, in process, the verbs that describe it are progressive, and end with ing.
Present progressive:
I am eating this pie.
They are chatting on the balcony.
Come on in, we're listening to music.
Past progressive:
"What were you doing?"
"I was working on my comic strip."
Yesterday, I was walking down the street and minding my own business....
I spent the whole day baking this apple pie.
Future progressive:
"What will you be doing tomorrow?"
"I'm going to spend the day cleaning that pie crust off the wall."
By next week, I'll be swimming in the Mediterranean, and sipping vodka on the beach.
You see? It's a bit foreign, but straightforward.

Just a further note:
If you already know how to conjugate the verb to be --
I am, you are, she is; we are, you are, they are
I was, you were, she was; we were, you were, they were
I will be, you will be, she will be; we will be, you will be, they will be
-- then, to form the progressive (to describe continuous action in progress), you will only have to add a verb ending with ing:
I am speaking
I was speaking
I will be speaking
You are speaking
You were speaking
You will be speaking
And so on. It's as easy as apple pie.
