    (Fredo n Pid'jin were lucky not to be dismemberd by the crackers as it usually happened this time of the year :P)

  3. Patricia Says:

    Happy New Year, 2 all !

  4. iancu Says:

    Wondering what’s with the opacity of the text bubbles changing here and there :P..

  5. Eugen Says:

    oh, i usually keep the bubbles at 90% opacity, but sometimes things look better if they are completely opaque.

    A happy new year to all of you!

    In the immortal words of the great irradiated one… It will be a SILENT spring…

  17. dumi Says:

    cool episode, but i miss gugüstück. pls resurect him : )

  18. andix Says:

    I'd say, um, the English is still 'bit too academic, after all these episodes. on the same note, mean pigeons don't have to be politically correct either.
    don't care if you nuke me, but when a world ender is speaking, he doesn't necessarily say 'chinese' but 'gook', 'you know' could've been 'y'know' as well… and so on :)
    oh and - no offence -, not many native English speakers would actually write '8 bucks' regardless of their nationality. it’s that kinda thing you can say but never put on paper. $8 does the trick as well.

  19. Eugen Says:

    that’s actually very insightful, andix, thx.
    we did use more of those "y'know' thingies in the first few episodes, but it didn't feel right somehow - so we went back to regular. We used both "$" and "bucks" - that was my choice because of the bubble space.

    hope to see ya again around here - we can always use feedback like yours. cheers!

  20. andix Says:

    y'welcome. :)

    it happens that I'm trying to get rid of the 'Romanian way of putting it in English' too…

    just a small anecdote, summer 1999 I was window-shopping in the Istanbul bazaar and this guy tries to sell me a watch, after a small no-go chitchat he goes like 'hey you're Romanian' and I'm asking him how could he tell that. he blurts: 'you're speaking English like Hagi' and leaves me baffled.

    I've learned my lesson back then, I'm keeping it at hand for such moments… hope you liked it as well, although I'm expecting to hear it any soon now from someone else as 'his cuzn’s adventures in Turkey'. hah. let it be common knowledge.

  21. theTudor Says:

    dude, style check me as well(!) please

  22. Watt Says:

    ‘you’re speaking English like Hagi’ - hahahahaha, good one! :D :D

  23. ghinda Says:

    guys….how about a new episode…

  24. Ktastrofa Naturala Says:

    that turkish episode… well, i don't know how much time you spent in turkey, but those people can sure sniff tourists from miles around, and they all have phrases like that. Every shopkeeper you find in your way (especially on the mediteranean coast) will try to catch your attention with names of famous people from your country (like "Hagi") and some will even say they have good friends in romania or that their cousin or brother lives or works there. i was baffled at first too, but i learned my lesson after the phrases kept repeating for some odd reson. :P

    but i'm getting off-topic. :D kool episode. brilliant really :D i laughed my brains out after reading every episode from first to last in the past hour :) u guys are the best !

  25. andix Says:

    well. you didn't *quite* get my point :)
    that thing he told me… was rather mumbled, and served to me instead of a well-roasted curse, for I didn't want to buy that watch. to put it simple, it ’s been an insult :D

    errr… theTudor, style-check what? the blog? no offence, I don't get it. (yes I have these flashes of utter stupidness, and I'm not joking)

    and yes. where’s the new episode?

  26. Jordan Says:

    Guys, wake up!! Is this your New Year’s resolution? No new episode … EVER?

  27. Tudor Mateescu Says:

    Hey.. where is the new episode? :P

  28. Cristi Says:

    Yup, I'm still waiting for the next one. Or did they start a nuclear holocaust, and they're mutating into rodents…? :)

  29. ieu Says:

    But,2 episodes are already late…we want freedo and pid'jin ^^

  30. andix Says:

    I think I know. 'Fredo & Pid'jin' deemed so profitable that the authors fled to Cayman Islands after discretely skipping local taxes… it’s 2007, yet another fiscal year…
    right?
    riiiiight?…
