Arnold (June 25-July 1, 1984)   Bullwinkle  Here's a comic trivia involving JFK: in the early 1960s a strip was offered to newspapers featuring JFK's daughter, called "Miss Caroline". It was originally released as a paperback book before a syndicated version got offered.    This comic is infamous for spectacular bad timing. The newspaper version came out on November 4, 1963. Less than 3 weeks later, JFK was assassinated. The strip was immediately pulled after that. As a result, I think "Miss Caroline" holds the record for the shortest-run syndicated comic. FWIW, you can buy a complete run of the comic on Amazon, containing cartoons from the paperback, plus additional cartoons created for its brief newspaper run.

Heavy Metal posted:My favs as a kid were Foxtrot and Calvin and Hobbes, the only ones I read most collected books of there. Haven't read a strip in a long long time. Other than the several page serialized stuff, like Blueberry in the OP. Well, I hope I've been doing an acceptable translation, especially if you've read the ACTUAL English translation of Blueberry! Also, wow Maryls is a real kicker in the emotional kidneys.

I didn't even realize Blueberry was translated. Which probably means: yes. Is it in spanish originally?

Though, I'll take your surprise at it not being translated as quite the compliment! Also, oh my GOD I love Ballard Street.

Drakyn posted:Absolutely, and I unironically want to hear the linguistic process behind Jim referring to Kelly as 'twat features' last update. Oh... The translation often uses very basic and PG-13 terms, which I felt was a bit out of step with the feel of the comic (especially since there is the occasional use of English in the original comic which happily uses the term 'gently caress you'). Seeing as Jim has a bit of Irish heritage, I decided chucking in a phrase more common from the British Isles was apropos. I can't recall what the word used originally was, but it was probably closer to 'villain' or 'blackguard'. MAYBE as far as bastard.

Haifisch posted:Footrot Flats What does that phrase "Niggly as an all black front row". It sounds racist, but I can't parse it. Mister Beeg posted:This comic is infamous for spectacular bad timing.

As a result, I think "Miss Caroline" holds the record for the shortest-run syndicated comic. In another, sideways related story about poor timing, JFK and Rocky and Bullwinkle I have this. R&B was hugely popular and there was a chapter of the show which took place in the fictional state of Moosylvania. Fans wrote in tons of letters talking about the fairytale land. The show runners managed to find and purchase a strip of land in the middle of a lake between Minnesota and Canada, and they decided to petition the government for statehood. Just a big goof publicity stunt, as the strip of land was too small to have any population. So the show runners went cross country, gaining signatures, with the idea of ending the tour at the white house, and presenting their petition to JFK directly. Unfortunately, while they were crisscrossing the country, the Cuban Missile Crisis was happening, and they were promptly, and rudely turned away by White House security. https://www.ripleys.com/weird-news/when-statehood-for-moosylvania-was-thwarted-by-the-cuban-missile-crisis/

The All Blacks are a New Zealand rugby team. "She's as rowdy as the front row of fans at a rugby game!" Jucika "474 - Jucika And Dog Friendship"  "475 - Jucika And The Newbie Car Mechanic"  "Rear engine...If I remember my Top Gear correctly, cars like that behind the Iron Curtain were light-weight, low-powered, and used a gas-oil mix. They were notoriously unreliable, and when the wall fell, people would leave them abandoned with the titles inside."

The All Blacks (all black kit) are the NZ rugby team, they are (normally, not so much currently) one of the very best teams in the world. The front row are the dudes on the front row in the scrum. They are the chunky boys whose general role in a game is to be right in the middle of a pile of people making them either move or stop. They are the ones with the most cauliflower ears and broken noses. They are traditionally quite easy to upset and up for a fight. Niggly means persistently complaining/uncomfortable/bad-tempered. He is saying that the sow will be as grumpy as one of the locally famous men whose job is to be a powerful and ornery bastard.
