Great job Sarah! I feel for you!
I kind of feel just the same, Im right now in Rio de Janeiro, and yesterday I was talking to some Italian guys and lets just say a lot got lost in translation.
That’s so funny – great comic! You’ll be cringing over that one when you’re 103!
It happened a year ago and believe me, I am already cringing about it!
You have my cultural misunderstanding sympathy!! I particularly love the cartooning on your slightly-less-enthusiastic laughter in panel 2. 🙂
I understand so much. I felt this way every day for five years in Japan. I like how you represent the parts you don’t understand in the balloons.
I hope you read it. 😀 Your works are amazing Sarah! I love when you talk about Argentina (my country) and your experiences haha, thats the thrut. Specially about your experiences in Argentina, because, i don’t know, it makes me feel confortable in any strange way, it makes me feel like i’m home in another perspective. I hope you make more comics like this haha. A tip? People in argentina is reading your comics. A web called “Taringa.net” is full of people. They made a top post about a comic of you. Maybe if you make an account you could win more followers. Well, sorry for my english, i know i’m talking like a caveman, haha good luck! 😀
una experiencia el mate! soy argentina, amo mi país, pero no acostumbro tomar mate. graciosa la confusión con el retrato
