I may try one on if I got the opportunity, but those things are really expensive. That's spot on. I think fursuiting can be very cool, but it's not a cheap hobby. There are commercial companies that can make more or less customized suits, for a price. I guess making your own suit from scratch requi...

Come on, that's definitely not the way I mean it. I tried to make that clear in my remark 'no disrespect'. I live in a gay-friendly country (The Netherlands, you know, we invented gay marriage), some of my family and many of my friends are gay. I never perceived Cartman's use of the word as offensiv...

OK, that's interesting. Then I have a question for you and other translators: do you try to stick to a fixed font size as much as possible or do you vary the font size depending on your need for space? More general: What do you do if your text is too big for the balloon? Remove words? Rewrite the se...

Your remark sounds spooky and I have no clue what you mean or refer to. Would you mind telling what this is about?

I don't think it matters if people get the joke or not, just as long as people enjoy the comic. Sure, I agree. I enjoy a lot about the comic: the characters, how they are drawn, how they interact, the story line, the basic idea about anthropomorphic sentient pets, etc. Nothing lost there. And of co...

Okay, I don't get the joke. Let me just admit it. :( So, the two friends of Joey are dressed in 'Attack on Titan' costumes. I haven't seen that anime, so I missed the reference. Would the joke then be that it's Halloween, but these guys prefer to dress up as anime characters? Then the title: Pop (Ro...

I do, but only since July. I also have little interest in fur suits myself, but I find them interesting when other people wear them. I just have a general interest, and consider myself one, I do not have a fursona though. As I said, just a general interest. How nice! :) Furry fandom can always use ...

Wow, that's a nice pic of Karishad.

Let me start with some info I gathered: Fonts The recommended font for balloon and box text is Webletterer BB . Use 10 pt, or if your language uses more space, 9 pt is OK too. For small text I use 7 pt. For diacritical letters (Umlaut and such), use Komika Hand . I found out that the Varieté font lo...

Hi readers, translators, people interested in translations and everybody else, Last week I had very useful conversations with Obbl and some translators about the many questions I have as someone who is new to this project. It occurred to me that this is would be a good moment for making notes and fo...

I've seen both the original movie and the sequel. I love Charlie! Scoundrels with a soft side make me purrr. I didn't cry, but I was happy that it ended well. Of course it ended well, it's an American movie, duh.

But I did cry big tears when I saw the Lion King.

It's a cat thing.

I bet some furries even imagine to be Maid Marian for a while, solves the problem nicely. :D I'd go for Sleet's solution in creating an alternative universe that's just a little different. A guy named Leafdog (wrote the story 'Closet Coon') made a nice comic called 'Robin Hood's Excellent Adventure'...

Hi Valerio, I was just talking with Hukley about how to solve the joke in the episode where Karishad carries Joey. There's a word pun and a cultural context ('Nerds' are candy) that are hard to translate. My Italian is not very good, but I got the impression that you reworked the joke in a creative ...

Sam-the-cat

Heh, when there's no fitting translation then take the English words and make a note :) Yes, that would be a last resort. Use an asterisk and a footnote, or something like that. But I think I will put some effort into avoiding that, trying to save my 'honor' as a translator. Otherwise I would have ...

Seeing Zach, and thinking back to his inadvertent involvement in the world of the demigods, I wonder if there will be some kind of sequel to the demigod episodes in the future. Or if we will see more of Pete as a mortal. I get the impression that the storyline is at rest after the climax of the 'Hea...

Sam-the-cat

Hi Hukley,

Nice solution for 'Nerds'. I didn't even realize 'Nerds' are a type of candy, never saw them in Europe. I think 'Flasche' is good equivalent in the German language. For the other languages, like Dutch, this will be a hard one to translate. I haven't got any idea yet.

Do I consider myself to be a furry? Absolutely! All my life I felt a strange attraction to animal characters. That's how I became a comic collector. And tried to make some drawings and animations myself. And wrote some stories. Then, in 1995, I discovered that I was not the only one with this deviat...

Kari is carrying Joey with his butt ahead, which seems to be a little undignified. That underlines the wackiness of Kari. You never know what he is going to do, and how he is going to do it. :) It's like he lives in his own universe. What I would find interesting about Kari is some more background. ...

That's a useful site. Actually I (my character Sam speaking) do have some superpowers, but I didn't know how to call them, so I tried to look them up. They're not really superpowers though, because I need a certain type of portable technology to invoke them. Also, I'm using specific variants that I'...

Good thing I started reading this thread. I never would have figured out that 'Nerd' can mean a type of candy. This won't be an easy one for the translators.
