Another exercise at translating my comic into English.
A Smash Brothers comic from 2009, showing what happens when two dirty old men start hatching plans.

As I am a natural born procrastinator, and this was hastily slapped together in the last moments, and it shows. But I think this could be the first one that was actually slapped together in time, even with me significantly lowering the bar for quality.

And again, I've mentioned this before, but translating the common onomatopoeia into English is hard.
One reason is that I haven't read too many English comics so my repertoire is kind if meager, and another is that Japanese has a comparatively ridiculous large amount of it in the language which lends itself well to comics ... and makes it hard to translate accurately into English.

It's been suggested to me that I deal with it by using actual verbs, like *jumps* or *runs* ... but that seems too contrived, like seeing *shoots* rather than a "BANG" in the picture, for example.
I'll either have to convince myself that that's the way to deal with it, or invent new ones.

And if the onomatopoeia seems rather crappily drawn in, don't worry ... they were crappy in the original too.
