The Pirates' flat share Episode 1 "The Newcomer"
I used to do some little photo stories too but haven't done any in a while... I would like to think of some again in the future and wonder how best to present them in both German and English without doing the double work of editing the pics in both German and English... I don't want to do them in English only as it will not be received that very well by the German "audience" and as I would not be able to play with language as well as I can do in German.
So, it is either using no speech bubbles at all and putting the text underneath the pics or doing the bubbles in German and translating below - what would be best received by you?...
Here's a sample with the first episode of my "Piraten WG" = "The Pirates' flat share" - from October 2018 when Edward Kenway moved in to disturb the cosy togetherness of Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Harlock in their section of the cabinet.
I am not sure all jokes and allusions translate correctly - or at all - but I hope you get the gist of it.
Ahoy guys, this is your new roommate.
Edward, these are Captain Harlock and Captain Jack Sparrow.
Guys, this is Edward *ouch*
ok,ok, so what... this is CAPTAIN Edward Kenway...
I'll leave you so you can get to know each other.
Welcome my dear! You look like someone to drink a nice bottle of rum with. The other company around here is quite dry.
Edward: "Move"
Jack: "Pardon?"
Edward: "You don't expect me to stand on this little piece of fake wood whilst HE is sitting on a mega stool and you are hanging out on a gun? Move over."
Jack: "No way. This is the base of Captain Jack Sparrow - and that is ME."
Edward:"There is no name on it. And now get off! ... and give me the bottle."
Jack: "What? Certainly not! It's not even fully paid for!"
Edward: "The bottle!"
Jack: "you mannerless brute!... Harlock, say something! We can impossibly stay around this buffoon -"
Edward: "Keep the silent guy out of this. YOU already talk more than enough for the two of you. Now, give me the bottle or I'll feed you this rabbit pelt of yours."
Jack: "Outrageous. I am speechless. Harlock, what shall we do?"
Harlock: "Do? I am reading. And you could fetch a chair."
Jack: "But how to get rid of him again?"
Harlock: "I would be more interested in how to get rid of YOU. I would like to go on reading."
Jack: "Harlock! I thought we were friends!"
Jack: "I must insist!"
Jack: "Keep your pistol off my hat."
