Here is “Kick at Home” as it appears in I Love Led Zeppelin, and as it appears in the new Czech translation. One snag in the translation: my turkey drawing for the “cold turkey” panel. The Czech translation for “cold turkey” is more like “clean cut,” and Jarka and I went back and forth on how to deal with that (her first solution was a hand with the fingers cut off -!?). We eventually settled on a jack-knife cutting the panel border.

In I Love Led Zeppelin:

In Czech:

From the Czech translator:

I believe that czech readers will be pleased that
czech edition of your comics has something special, something “only for
czech” added by the author, i. e. U!
we would like to place some note about it on the cover.

thank U very much for help – I will send U the cartoon to authorize.

translating of your work really was little bit “hard-core” but also
it was soooo funny! So many good jokes – RESPECT!

greetings,
jarka

First off, everyone’s okay – but the BMW is totaled. Fie on that 19-year-old in the yellow Aveo! (”Can we just exchange information? This is my sister’s car and she’s gonna kill me!”) The 2002 had a starring role in Wheels, a two-page comic I did for the Seattle P.I. (R.I.P. also!) in August, 2007.

May, 2007: Off to the DMV. Excited!

Goodbye, sweet 2002.

The first Blitz of 2010 is tomorrow! Map for the arts walk, show deets, and more info on the Blitz site.

I did the promo materials for February through May. Looking forward to seeing these around the neighborhood!
