I recognize that this is because you're doing the translating here, but I still want to say that I appreciate that the natives are talking like normal people and not in the broken English they use in so many westerns.

Thanks for appreciating it. I was concerned that some might think I was being too editorial in my translations - though frankly I'd probably keep doing it anyway even if they did since I dislike that trope, too.

I knew about how Lynn wrote her son's old friend surviving in her comic, but you're right about how judgmental this is. I can only imagine how terrible it must have felt for IRL Michael to read about this as it came out. And that's not getting into how Lynn made him straight in her wish fulfillment comic.

She wrote Lawrence as gay, which was decently controversial at the time IIRC. My first memory of the Westboro Baptist Church was them protesting the Topeka KS newspaper for continuing to run the strip

This is just an aside though.

Wait so is it that way in the original or is it the old trope?

I was referring to the trope - as far as I can tell, the Swedish translation keeps the Apache's dialogue pretty much as Blueberry's and Graig's... though they do have the tiresome habit of using the terms 'Redskins' and 'Palefaces' (actually, on the latter term I did a bit of researching on what the Apaches of that region would have more likely used as a term referring to non-Apache people, hence the use of Indaaɫigáí - Wikipedia states it means 'people who are white-skinned', but I saw some other people on a Native American language board stating it more literally means 'white-eyed').

On that note - in today's Blueberry: Blueberry thinks on his feet... his horse's hooves? Anyway, or Graig, self-critique is an important part of anyone's health, but now is REALLY not the time, or Suddenly, Blueberry's in the mood for some spontaneous horticulture.

If I had to give a non-art criticism of Tinkersons it's that it sorta sucks that Mrs Tinkerson's personality is being a nag the vast majority of the time. Especially with the kids but also her husband. It'd be nice to see her with some friends or something outside the home like we do all the other characters.

She is a little less developed than the others for sure. More of a foil for the mildly absurd goings on at Casa Tinkerson than anything.

A couple of the characters are very expressive. Her and the dad especially. Sadly third place is probably the bartender

In this installment of The Timid Soul (August 12, 1935), I'm really not sure what Caspar's putting on his feet. And I guess this was before the invention of anti-slip bathtub mats.

Look at the the detail on the pipes behind the sink. The crinkling on the shower curtain where it passes above the curtain rod. The towel rack. The fringe on Caspar's towel.

I imagine it's what it sounds like: a resin from something like a pine tree that will help him stick to the slick tub, similar to how dancers will rosin up their shoes to keep from slipping on the floor.

Probably a similar sort of resin to the type used by acrobats to make sure their hands maintain good non-slip grip on trapeze bars and such.
