What is this, bizarro-Retail? Shouldn't that sales associate be miserable at the idea of having to process all those returns? Or is she thinking, "hell yeah I'm off tomorrow but that &@!*$ Erika on the early shift will have to do it instead!"

I have 3/4 of an acre in the city limits, and there are several of my neighbors up the street that are constantly obsessed with their yards. Chemical treatments, reseeding, etc. I think they secretly despise me because I am probably the sole source of dandelions in the area. My yard is full of violets, dandelions, and tons of other cool looking indigenous plants. I happen to like the color. Plus, my yard doesn't completely die when the weather dries up in the summer. My next door neighbor (who couldn't care less what I do with my yard) asked me once why he never sees me putting herbicide down... I said "Because I'd have nothing but dirt after it killed everything." :v:

I assume you don't have the horrible little stickers that we do here. I can't actually find them online right now, but they have tiny green leaves that turn into burrs later with a sharp point that will stab you in the goddamn foot or stick into the sole of your shoes.

e: Apparently they're lawn burweeds. I probably picked hundreds out of my feet as a kid. With up to two dozen at once.

Would probably be better if the fourth panel had a punchline instead of a word bubble explaining the joke, but it's still a pretty good example of rear end in a top hat Animal Comix.

Did he ever save the fish? Last I saw he got the other dog hosed down, then it ran off. I went back to check and you can't see it falling out of the dog's collar or anything, so presumably it's still there.

The fish is probably dead.

Beard herding in Texas
- Yeehaw!


The verb ajaa has a few wildly different meanings. The main one is "to drive/ride" something, like a car or a bike, but that's irrelevant here.

Ajo is its noun form. When ajo is paired with parta, "a beard", it produces parranajo which means "a beard shaving". Ajo can also mean "a herding". For example, karjanajo means "a cattle herding" or, less literally, "a roundup".

It took me a short moment to realize how the hell the pun was formed. Therefore it was pretty good.


- Us Martha members have a conference next Sunday
- Could you spare a few waiters for my party?
- Well, I don't know...
- You have at least a couple people free, don't you?
Next day:
Fierce fight - Homelius took members from Marthas!!!


This is a bit difficult to translate. Jäsen means both "an organization member" and "a limb". Homelius's first question was, more literally, "Could you remove a few waiters for my party" but that doesn't really work in English. At any rate, "took members"/"removed limbs" is the joke here.

As for the Martha organization, it's "a Finnish home economics organization, which was founded in 1899 to promote the quality and standard of life in the home. It also carries out cultural and civic education."

Fok_It


Subtle but unimportant wordplay is fun to translate.



Whereas fairly simple but important words can be troublesome. I wanted to avoid using "fail" for a few reasons, but the biggest is that the connotation isn't quite right even if the meaning is correct.
