I've just read a story by Alan Moore and Gary Leach "Cold War. Cold Warrior" and it doesn't seem very clear to me what these guys are talking about? Is it just jibberish or maybe it's some sort of compounding. Is it possible to assume at least what these guys are talking about?

It is actually mentioned, that they use some kind of jargon, but then there should be some meaning behind those "slottoes", "munny-mammy", "blow louie".

Part of Miracle Man.

I don't know the context, but I'll attempt a translation.
>Well done my [slottoes - friends or companions or something?]
>This is the real deal... we've made it beyond their perimeter screens without them seeing us.
>Warpsmiths! Phuu! (spitting, I assume)
>Nothing but [meaningless insult] if you ask me.
>A little faster please, cranky boy. We're not through the [something dangerous] yet.
>That's true!
>(this part is indecipherable to me)
>Yap! Is the woman pissing herself in fear of the big scary things? Is the little girl crying over the creepy warpsmiths?
>It's true. Shut up now, cranky boy. Shut up now...
>...we're not through the [something dangerous] yet.
The rest can be read almost literally. Hesitance Simulators are probably some kind of obstacle, and Baffles are something to protect against that obstacle.

Thanks, anon! Could you please decipher the rest? I can post other pages. The whole story is 10 pages long, but I have the only problem with these guys' speech. And they speak only on a couple of pages.

>>88374807
I guess I could give it a shot.
>>
>>88374829
So, you deciphered the first page, and that's the next one. I'll just post all of them in case you need a context.
>>
Starting from this page, everything is clear. Posting just for the purpose of context.

And the last one.

Final panel:
>Pale and scary guys out of nowhere! Discovered! We've been discovered
(this is a pure guess, since "ranulfed" can mean a lot of things and the sentence will still work, for example it could mean "we're been betrayed", "we've been tricked", "we've been trapped", etc. and it would still work in context as far as I can tell)
>I think I'm going to shit my pants.
Panel 2:
>Shut up, Kranky boy. They're trying to scare us. They won't really kill us.
Panel 3:
>Our employer told us we had to put the bomb in place before he [let go of the louie - no idea here, but it's obviously related to what they said in the first page]. If we mess up now we'll be screwed.
>It's true. I say we kick their ass and I say we do it... Now!
Final panel:
>[Hushabye and Krank - their names apparently, which means that she wasn't calling him cranky like I thought, his name is just Krank] have been taken out! The scary guys weren't bluffing!
>Don't get scared now, [Joxie - probably his name]. Hit those tall scary guys with your [statue-cube - a weapon I assume]. I'm running for the [mun - no idea what this means here].

>Y-you killed her! She was my [gimmy-jukie - girlfriend?] and you KILLED her!
>She wasn't going to destroy your building. It was a joke! She didn't have a bomb!
>It was just a joke!

>>88375263
>>88375056
Oh ok, apparently she's both his sister and his girlfriend. so gimmy-jukie could mean either or both of those.

>>88375263
Thanks, anon! You were a great help!

>>88375360
