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. $8 does the trick as well.
that’s actually very insightful, andix, thx.
we did use more of those “y’know’ thingies in the first few episodes, but it didn’t feel right somehow – so we went back to regular. We used both “$” 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!
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.
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.
but i’m getting off-topic. kool episode. brilliant really i laughed my brains out after reading every episode from first to last in the past hour u guys are the best !
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
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)
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?…
I love this comic. Happy New Year !
Hahahaha just 20 mins ago I was wondering when you’d post the New Year’s mayhem
)
Good one, Happy New Year!
)
(Fredo n Pid’jin were lucky not to be dismemberd by the crackers as it usually happened this time of the year
=)) of course, they ARE made by children !
Happy New Year, 2 all !
Wondering what’s with the opacity of the text bubbles changing here and there
..
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!
Ho ho ho ! Sweatshop kids Ho!
