csammis posted:Asaekkiga This one is mine. You can tell because I created a bunch of white space instead of just editing the comic direct (stupid) and also because it's formatting Korean names incorrectly (even stupider). Korean given names are normally two syllables. They're separated by a hyphen and only the first one is capitalized. For some bizarre reason it took me way too long to figure this out so all references to Korean given names in my older writing is obviously incorrect. Every so often I go back and fix it, although this is obviously impossible with comics I translated for fun which were subsequently downloaded by random people. Beyond that I can see why Asaekkiga appealed to me as a practice project. A lot of them are like this, with minimal dialogue that's not always even necessary to grasp the action, so even an amateur translator can't screw them up that bad. By contrast the more complex nuanced language in this chapter of It's All Right Chief Dharma is such that I'm not at all sure I translated it correctly. But the punchline, at least, is intact. edit: ...yes, that line was a terrible literal translation which is why I'm changing it now while I still have the chance. Unfortunately now the punchline is just "explaining the joke" but eh, what are you gonna do. Some Guy TT fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Oct 4, 2016 |

But the punchline, at least, is intact. I get the punchline but the linguistics of 'Not Nude Food' to a strip show doesnt really come across. One of the other posters who did the finnish strips did provide explanations when they were translating things like this, i.e. 'eel and kissing are homonyms in finnish, hence the date which ended with the eel' etc. I mean it's perfectly clear what the strip is about here anyway though.

Yeah, this was a weird case because it's an English pun- in context they're using the exact English pronunciation. English words sound unnatural in spoken Korean, but they're used as loanwords sometimes because it sounds chic. Even though we would never mix up "food" and "nude", a Korean person definitely could because in Korean they're weird foreign words with very similar pronunciation that are in no way similar to common Korean words used every day. I'm so used to this stuff it didn't occur to me y'all might not get the subtext. My bad. Food/nude was, as you can see, not my invention because it's on the internal banners which I lack the proper skill to edit.

bad posts ahead!!! posted:I'm sure Pastis is a nice guy, but does he do anything other than "Rat is an rear end in a top hat", terrible puns, and shallow politics these days? I remember liking PBS more than this. You probably remember that because it used to be quite a bit better. The early strips had a lot of black humor, the puns were initially more involved, and the current insights were usually filtered through a fairly acerbic lens. As the strip's mellowed out and the puns have gotten lazier I think the quality's dipped significantly. It's still got the odd highlights but they're much further and farther between than they used to be, and I see no reason to suspect it'll get better. That said it's still one of my preferred joke a day strips. Which maybe doesn't say great things about newspapers in general, but such is the state of things.

Well, if you're so gracious as to entertain my Not loving with the translation this time, since aside from the name issue it's accurate enough. I might in the future though.

Fort Knox has all those dumb little background gags, at least. Unfunny, for sure, but still implies some effort. Guess I shouldn't rip too hard on Pearls when Take It From The Tinkertons exists, though. How often does that guy even bother to make an actual joke? e: and I believe Nancy is Gilchrist working at his genuine highest level, which just happens to be complete and utter poo poo.

I agree that the cartoonish aspect of the strip is a big part of its appeal -- it's almost like an American take on Tin Tin (though it actually preceded Tin Tin, so maybe Tin Tin was a French take on Wash Tubbs?). Re: the new scans, I still haven't had time to do them, but they're high up on my to-do list. Just need to find some free time.
