csammis posted:New Thread Bonus: I have this one filed away with my Asaekkiga comics but it looks completely different. I don't know where it came from! These are Chewri Comics, (츄리닝) an anthology comic which I was translating at the same time I did Asaekkiga way back when I was still taking Korean classes maybe...four years ago? I recall the reception to these being more hit-and-miss, but that may have been because the translations were more low quality, and I couldn't explain the cultural context as well as I can now. As an example, I had no idea what a "Chewriring" was at that time, hence why I called them Chewri Comics. I now know that Chewriring is some sort of weird foreign load word for Tracksuit, so if I were translating these today, I would call them Tracksuit. And why not, because apparently these are being stored on the same site that has It's All Right Chief Dharma. Which is set in an office. It too is from South Korea.

Today's Pop Team Epic was cut up for easier reading. Senryu is a kind of Japanese poetry similar to the haiku! Honey Come Chatka Gojira is the Japanese name for Godzilla, but because they're in New York, they kept calling them Godzilla, in reference to the terrible 90s Hollywood movie. I didn't point this out earlier because I only just now got it.

Kevin and Kell actually moves at a decent clip, or am I just misremembering how long its been? I'd laugh if the K&K guy has a better grasp on storytelling than Brooke McEldowney. Holbrook could totally give lessons to McEldowney (and a lot of other creators in this thread) in how to keep a plot moving and knowing when to wrap things up. Of course, it's easier for him because all his strips have huge and ever-growing casts so he's not stuck coming up with plots for the same two or three people over and over. And if you think a porcupine and a bat breeding is weird, K&K also features a wolf who's having trans-species surgery to become a ram. (To be fair, the characters are totally cool with it and happy for him, but still, comparing transgender to an animal actually changing species is bizarre.)
