I'm kind of impressed that Rex Morgan ever gets even a chuckle out of me but the swear jar gag and the set-up for the con artist guy sneaking in to try to trademark "generic cute dogs" designs is good. If the Morgans are terminally boring upper middle class people then make the jokes from there. Mark Trail is currently doing what it does best but it's "antagonist 100% sees protagonist doing something they can give them trouble for, fails to do so" again. Ernest was physically there and saw it happen. They don't have to accuse Cherry of saving the bee hive. Maybe not legally binding but getting her away from the country club is a slam dunk unless Violet suddenly grows some more morals. I'm more baffled that Luann thinks it will be so difficult to finish her degree and apply exclusively to preschools and elementary schools.

Some Guy TT posted:Greetings, fellow translator goon I can think of quite a few Western adventure newspaper strips from the Golden Age of Westerns, and we've seen a few in Popular Comics. The problem is, I can't think of one that wasn't cliched poo poo. I've read that Whiteboy (later retitled Whiteboy in Skull Valley) was, despite its alarming title, pretty good, but I haven't read enough of it to form a judgement.

You do great work. Blueberry is a cool as hell Western adventure strip, and I'm honestly surprised we don't have more of those in American newspaper comic form. The genre was certainly popular enough. I also wouldn't worry too much about racisms or cultural insensitivity if I were you. The story's been quite consistent in portraying the Indians as reasonable people with reasonable motives, which is what really matters.

A bit of searching suggests that Hungarians consider it good luck to pull a piglet's tail on New Year's Eve; people commonly serve pork, particularly roast suckling pig, on NYE. So you've got a day to go out and get yourself a piglet.

Some Guy TT posted:Greetings, fellow translator goon Ta for the words of encouragement - haven't felt this chuffed online since I was told folk actually liked my voice-acting. Blueberry! While it is a pretty good rollicking adventure story - and having listened to Dogs Must Die podcast, I admit it does remind me a but of JoJo in the problem-solving and tricking people plots. I hope people don't mind my editorial approach as opposed to the literalist approach (since it definitely was editorialized when translated to Swedish). I can assure you that the story is pretty much the same (except when I feel that it has to be addressed, e.g. Jim not being shot, but the gunmen simply not noticing, or Blueberry giving a solitary gently caress for the well-being or appreciation of Alistair, and then I will draw attention to the changes as well as my reasonings for them), and it has been good help for my Swedish vocab. If only it could help with my pronunciation... I have been trying to mitigate the worse of the racism in the stories (typically by just having people speak English without affectations). I am... A bit nervous about the next story, since it is set in Mexico (and the representation of Mexican people in this series has been pretty ehhh) but also because there is a character which takes it from 'not as racist as you think it would be, but still pretty racist' to 'racist', alas alas. I will spoiler when this strips in question come up, but just to give folk an idea of what I'm on about, I have two words: Sax Rohmer-esque Samovar fucked around with this message at 11:01 on Dec 30, 2021 |

That said, it makes Calhoun negligent or unobservant. It doesn't make him "a traitor," like Hawkins claimed, unless he'd decided to hand over the settlers to the hostile Native Americans for some reason. Even "I know the fort's fallen because of U.S. Flag Code Violations, but I think I can take them, and be a hero" isn't treason. maltesh fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Dec 30, 2021 |
