Housepets!

Quiero tus cacharros!

Club de los perros fieles.

lopiko

Forgive me for my long absence.

lopiko

The first strip was kind of difficult.

lopiko

I'm back (from the grave?) and here are some old comics, the third one is my favorite of all of the Housepets! comic.

lopiko

Well, I had to stick to a Human gender word because of the lack of a general gender word (like male and female) but yeah, I thought it would be awkward to use a word like that in the context of sentient animals, but I guess that can change.

lopiko

I thought about it, and "Hembra" sounds kind of awkward, seeing that's the way you talk about unsentient animals.
But I don't know, maybe it could be used...

lopiko

Finishing the trickiest part so far, with good results! I also have to add the only name I will translate is "Tiger" because is just very minor difference (Tigre) and because you need to know what it means to get the joke. the second comic was very difficult, and had to have some minor cha...

lopiko

Oh, and about syllabazing, I think I already do it a little bit, but I try to find other ways to save for space. and well, maybe "bueno" wouldn't exactly mean Gay (I'm talking about Mexico, I have no idea about Chile) but in Mexicoi it COULD mean something like "sexy dogs club" o...

lopiko

Creepiest part yet.

lopiko

I was always curious to see how a pomeranian would be drawn in this style, and I like it a lot!
And I'm also so curious to know what is she doing there, I mean like... what?!

lopiko

Awesome! 'Club de los perros fieles' that's perfect!

lopiko

Hehe, I will try to die less now. And also, yeah, here the word "Larga" means "Long" (when refering to something feminine) and. Syllabazing the words? sorry but what does that mean? hehe and about the dog club thing... yeah, I thought that it could sound too generic just to make ...

lopiko

Well, that can be solved.
I am NOT a corpse.
but I am legally dead...

lopiko

This is how I prove people wrong:

lopiko

To be delicious! hahah, good one.

lopiko

Oh, crap! sorry, I will ensure to spellcheck them 58 times before uploading them...

lopiko

Wow! that word is so perfect! I wish Spanish could have a word like that hehe And yeah, Mascota is the word for pet... much longer than the word pet, which gives me problems sometimes... and yeah! thanks for the help with the word "Buzz" I know what it means, but not all the meanings of it...

lopiko

Three easy and short ones for today, I was going to star with the "Cat-lover" ark today, but no... I start with it tomorrow while I figure out how the heck I'm supposed to translate "Cat-lover" to Spanish... Valerio, I see the Italian word is "Gattaro" funny you can say...

lopiko

I think I should do the same with you Italian translation, you know, to learn some words, and as for the pronunciation, it's very similar, and what it's not similar I know it

lopiko

hehe, no problem, I'm not... like... to be offended by something so simple

lopiko

uh, Mexican :p

edit: haha! the time it took me to correct you was the same time it took you to realize, Oops.

lopiko

That is so true, on of the features I always point out about cats it's that their gender is very difficult to know withous some close examination...
Pretty cool that Rick made this also a way to get some laughs outta me

lopiko

Wow, and I'm surprised how I can understand some Italian without studying it, and you can undertand some Spanish too (Although I don't know if you studied it) pretty cool.

lopiko

I keep approving of these translations 'Rayos' is the best swearing I heard in this language! :mrgreen: PS - I wouldn't have used a genre-indicating word such as 'tramposo', since Grape's gender is not to be revealed for some few strips more :? Well, it's no much like s swearing, means litterally &...

lopiko

Seems like gender confusion is becoming a running joke here.

lopiko

I wonder if people from Spanish speaking countries (where the game's not played) will get the whole thing... but well.

lopiko

...Because there are six today.

lopiko

The three I promised, but wait... I lied...

lopiko

Oh man I'm so sorry! but sometimes I had to do many things and I'm sometimes away from the computer I use to translate...
sorry, but 3 more coming today!

lopiko

It's really similar, it only gets difficult when using very country-specific words and slang, but other than that I think this is understandable for most people, and believe me i will completely avoid Mexican slang in the translation.

lopiko

I always think that Spanish speakers laugh harder because our "J" is stronger then their "H" jeje

Anyways, SUP MAN!?

Hey El Paso! that's like a four hour drive from here...
So you know many homescholed Mexicans?! wow, I must be living under a rock.

lopiko

Haha, yeah, I usually don't care too much about forums, but I really love this comic, and the translation is keeping me hooked to it!

lopiko

Hey, I'm Joab (a name like that brings some problems...) I'm 16 years old, I'm a homeschooled Mexican High school student (5 words you will never hear together like that again) and I'm just somewhat furry, I love anthropomorphic art, but I don't have or will have a Fursuit or a Fursona. I'm also a w...

lopiko

The real challenges I had were with Rufus 'dead' jokes in the farm arc and above all the 'ode to the cat' Peanut recited for his napping friend. But... Grape's gender was reveled much much before that, in the cat-lover ark, so I don't think it's necessary to hide it anymore after that. Oh wait no! ...

lopiko

positive yup! That is why I first thought you were translating from the italian version. The apparent similarities are astounding. I'm eager to see how you'll manage the puns in the strip. For example: 'larga vida al rey aguador', how is it a pun in spanish? Just a technical curiosity Well, I tried...

lopiko

I so love the work you are doing, man! I hope it will be of inspirations to others to do the same. You are translating directly from the italian version, right? Funny, I expected exclamation/question marks to be put headdown before any sentence. I guess it's a language variation. Long translate and...
