If they're even close to Mandrake's level, a quarter of their normal power should be more than enough to cause a whole lot of trouble (or for Derek to make a decent living as a stage magician).

It's an edit. The original is '"Love is when two people who care for each other get confused." - Bob Schneider'. I have no idea what that means though.

I've never been so relieved about something being an edit.

I can't tell if that's the one armed character or not because all of the panels hide it.

Retail should be in the Daily Worker. I've done all sorts of work, but nothing made me sympathize more with communism than working retail, mostly because under communism we'd all have shapeless Mao suits and state distributed household goods and I'd never have to work retail again.

Yeah it was an edit. I forgot to link the original, sorry. I saw "Bob Schneider" and thought "Rob Schneider" and that's as much thought as I put into the joke. I wasn't sure if anyone would even notice, since it's just that quote box that's there every week. I don't even know if I read it every time,

I don't remember if you explained this or not, but where are you even finding these things? Is there a website somewhere publishing English versions of random Yonkoma?

Last time I translated this, I confused which side was the hero. At that time I was unfamiliar with how cops in popular South Korean culture tend to look and act indistinguishable from gangsters unless the creative elements make a conscious decision to portray them in a straightforwardly heroic manner. So, the exact opposite of what we do. That's today's lesson in non-intuitive cultural differences.
