   Oh, I get it. Moth-ers. Sounds like a lame pun.

   The Spanish version has the book titled “Ser Ama de Casa es lo Mejor”, which Bing Translate gives as “Being a Housewife is the Best”. The entire joke got lost. I’ve long suspected that the cartoonists write in English and that someone else translates into the Spanish version. Does anyone here know for sure?

   The artwork is different in the two strips which suggests complicity of the artist but the translations don’t match… Don’t know what to make of this. The Pearls strips in Spanish, on the other hand, are very obviously translations because very few of the puns ever make sense in Spanish.

   “Ama de Casa????” I’ve watched plenty of telenovelas over the years and I never ever heard that before. Must be colloquial.

   Wonder how the book was. Probably a collection of stories.

   Is this a comment on the fact that Gracie lost her mother when she was younger, so she misread the word?

    Our TV logs are always listing something called “How I Met Your Moth”.

    She’s also holding the “moth” upside down…

    What is with these scam ads? “I work from home and make $13,000 a month”? Comics.com has to pay the bills, but these ads are by criminals.

    Sorry about the ambiguous response this morning… I wasn’t familiar with the word “polillas”… No, the Spanish version is not a translation. It is a distinctly different joke.

    Ama de casa/ housewife… a pretty familiar term around my neighborhood, which is, incidentally, pretty much all Mexican/Central American… and I do hear it on the telenovelas but then, Univision buys a lot of them from Televisa so you’d expect a lot of Mexicanisms.
