@stefano there’s probablt 3 or 4 cultural references in that thing I don’t get. At least.

@kabel42 @rl_dane @stefano I always thought that was "itsu-mi Mario", i.e. someone reading it out from Katakana

@mirabilos trying to (wrongly) mimic Italian

@rl_dane @kabel42 @stefano it makes sense considering Nintendo is Japanese

@stefano so wrongly I wouldn’t have made the connection

@stefano @kabel42 @sotolf @rl_dane no, not Japanese.

The Japanese way to write English: with Katakana. Then reading out these.

@stefano @kabel42 @rl_dane

In fact, there were multiple references to the "It's-a-me" catchphrase across Nintendo's website in several countries, including its French-Canadian store

and the japanese website?

I know how bad things with dubs work in the anime/manga scene… (someone, probably Viz, made Jin into Ging, which in no way is sustainable once you see the original Kana, and most follow).

@kabel42 @stefano @rl_dane Aspririn Plus C?!

@stefano After seeing this the first time, I made this for t-shirt designs and stickers. SVG at https://anubis.0x90.dk/~ahf/fishlinux.svg

@ahf this is great!

@stefano I have a signed print of the original version of this comic. It’s a favourite

@jamesoff wow!
