¿Quién es ese "Garfield"?


Been trying to learn Spanish for decades, ever since high school, and after all this time El Gordo y la Flaca still leave me in the dust.

Nik's Spanish is not exactly Academy-ridden, either. He's from Argentina, and there are lots of neologisms in Latin America. For example, another panel recently held the phrase "Gomería la parche, la + veloz" — Gaturro wearing a sandwich board (he's widely read, get it?) Well, gomería is not in my dictionary or the RAE's dictionary either. I think what it means is, "Stuck on The Patch, fast acting," presumably a nicotine patch. Could be wrong... :) Frequently am.

Thanks for the jealousy...

Dad: "Well, family... It's all over... Finished... Done with..."

Dad: "We have to head back home..."

Family: "Aaaaaawwwwwww! How's co-ome??"

Dad: "Let's just say, something tells me Summer's coming to a close..."

Sign: "Fin"
[Jeez, Argentina, you can have our snow now, if you'd like...]
