Sorry, a german special...
✅ Artist: #JADA streetart - in City: somewhere 🤫 in #Cologne Germany 🇩🇪 - Title: "Schätzchen, mein Absatz ist höher als dein Niveau und ich trage Ballerinas!" 👡 (Honey, my heels are higher than your level and I wear ballet flats!") - #Art#Streetart#Köln#Pasteup#Comics#Peanuts#Lucy#DonaldDuck
So you'll give us #DonaldDuck as Wolverine (which I admit I am a mark for) but you're still not brave enough to integrate #Tron and #Gargoyles into the 616 continuity?
She first appeared in Disney's 1940 short Mr. Duck Steps Out. She is the girlfriend of Donald Duck, and Minnie Mouse bestie. She is often defined by her elegance, refined tastes and saucy demeanor
An ill-tempered, squawking cartoon duck who was Walt Disney’s second most famous cartoon character after Mickey Mouse and who enjoyed worldwide popularity
:blobwizard: Amazing story about the unknown artist that inspired Osamu Tezuka and countless others, despite being forced into corporate anonymity by Disney.
Originally intended to be used only once by Disney
He was created as an antagonist for Donald Duck, first appearing in the 1947. However, his popularity grew so large that he was given his own comic book series in 1952
Leider wagte es aber auch diese nicht, bei der #Wissenschaft zu bleiben, sondern glitt in eine „lustige“ & wohl „beruhigende“ Verschwörungsgeschichte ab… 🤨
The single volume series follows Donald and his buddies José Carioca and Panchito from the classic cartoon #TheThreeCaballeros work for Duck Furnishings in the US. Being that it is this trio, they're always getting into trouble. So, their boss sends the three of them to Japan to become better employees by forcing them to work at a traditional, and very strict, Onsen in Japan.
Basically, it's a goofy story about Donald and friends becoming good at helping / serving others while working at an Onsen. That's it.
I have read this a few times and so have a few of my kids. It's silly, it's relaxing, and I tend to bring it with me on vacations if I'm looking for something quick to read at the beach.
Are there any single volume manga that you go back to and re-read to relax? Let me know in the comments!
@johannalaakso
it's a common point of complaint by language learners that Finnish has a lot of words and they aren't related to other European languages.
But I like the strong tradition of at least trying to come up native names for new concepts. Not all, but surprisingly many stick even though there isn't any enforcement for media that I know of.
While sometimes convenient for learners, it's a bit sad when some language has awkwardly adopted a lot of words mostly from English.
Also the weekly Donald Duck magazine is such a staple of Finnish culture, it is sometimes jokingly referred as the leading linguistic publication in Finland. Almost everyone has read it at some time, if not learned to read because of it, and it is translated using the full vocabulary of the Finnish language. Sometimes it is so cutting edge, it is the first time you see a new word. Or learn an existing word you hadn't encountered before.
M'n verzameling(en) aan het organiseren.. het zat allemaal nog (steeds) in verhuisdozen..
Hoe zag #DonaldDuck#Weekblad er uit in de week van jou geboorte?
PS: op een paar verzoekjes wil ik wel even in m'n verzameling bladeren als je dat leuk vindt 😉
(deze hobby is "in ruste" geraakt rond de eeuwwisseling, dus op "recentere verzoeken" moet ik je het antwoord schuldig blijven 😛 )
I just found out the polls are saying we think China is our biggest concern as Americans.
I would like to know where and when these polls are taken.
I would like to participate because clearly you stupid fucks dont poll any normal humans.
I lived in Jersey when Christie was in charge-- I am angry as FUCK Trump's stupid, shit-filled diaper ass is making me cheer for Christie's chucklefuck of an existence.
It is surprising how often the names of the three nephews of Donald duck have been adapted to the local audiences. How do you call them in your language?
I still haven't gotten around to writing up a review of the first omnibus of Takahiro Arai's #manga adaptation of #LesMiserables, and I just discovered that the second one is already out! Going to pick that up and try to review both before Barricade Day!
Also: #UncleScrooge and #DonaldDuck in Les Misérables and War and Peace, coming in August. Apparently the Italian artist Giovan Battista Carpi did dozens of literary parodies in his Donald Duck comics, and Fantagraphics is reprinting them (translated, I assume)
Okay, time to catch up on #EJeanCarroll v #Trump. I'm quoting 3 sources, so there's some redundancy. All credit goes to Stewart Bishop, Matthew Russell Lee, and @KlasfeldReports 🧵 Long thread. 1/... #legal
1 correx from Bishop first: Stoynoff actually said:
"Trump said 'you know we’re going to have an affair, don't forget what marla said, best sex you ever had. We're going to get steak, we’ll go to Peter Luger, we’re going to have an affair.'"
