... will he ever hear anything but "I don't understand a single word of what you're saying!" when he tries to describe the perils of his tools, platforms and projects to his family members?

...unless you know how to draw my husband, his eyes glazing over as I do the above...only to come alive when I've stopped talking, to jump in with another subject of his own, as though I hadn't said anything at all!

I find it so funny that as soon as I am "the translator" people immediately cease to understand me.
Communication eating its children!

| Nice and funny blog! | May 2, 2009 |
I'm definitely adding it to my RSS feed reader!
I agree with Niraja, you had a very original idea!
| | | |
I love it! Looking forward to reading new adventures...

| Hey, Alejandro, another "misadventure" for your comic strip! | May 3, 2009 |
Have you ever happened to be in the same situation...?

Congratulations on your creativity, I like all the strips, especially Love in Translation, with the girl bored to death while he explains the nature of his work and the unexpected final line. I find this strip...poetical!
All the best to you, please keep posting your work, it is nice to see one's little represented professional identity recognized ad analized.
Ciao ciao
I like the one posted by Tadzio too!

SITE LOCALIZER | Congratulations! | May 3, 2009 |
Your strips are just great and so true at the same time. You made my day
I know it requires time, but not many of us have the talent required to be so creative. Therefore, I hope that you will find the time to give us some more. I have already added your blog to my RSS fee reader. All the best!

| Thank you - New post | May 4, 2009 |
Sze K. Aka Chan, Maria, Ilary, Fiona, Undalina and Kristina: Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm surprised and very happy with all the positive feedback received and I hope to find the time to create more regularly. I just posted a new strip and also added a widget so visitors can now rate each one.
Tadzio, thank you for the new "misadventure". I know that type of situation!

| Simply great! | May 4, 2009 |
Great work, Alejandro! And I especially appreciated your attention to details: e.g., Pam's and Calvo's chair, desk, etc. are much better than Mox's! So... looking forward to reading nex strips!!!

| Not as many details as I would like | May 4, 2009 |
I'm glad you noticed, Barbara!
Given my limited drawing skills, it is not easy to give attention to details. I suppose that practice will help, though.

I'm already a fan of Calvo, he makes me laugh.
And my top three favorites right now are:
1. The "mot juste" (wonderful way of illustrating the words!)
2. Translation in Love
3. 48 hours without sleep (because I just did that the other day )
You should create an ultimate evil character (not my Calvo) that embodies the composite evil forces of automatic translation tools.

or Mox adopts an actual Cat that embodies the trials and tribulations of working with Trados, Wordfast, etc.!
The possibilities are endless
