This obviously doesn’t work in Spanish, so they have the kid ask what “bronco” means, and Larry says if his wife doesn’t see him come home drunk, she doesn’t “echa una bronca” (start an argument).
Thanks for passing that along. It never occurred to me that different language versions of the same strip would need different jokes. One of the problems with a comic like PBS that uses a lot of word play, I suppose. I wonder if Pastis helps to write or gets to approve the Spanish version?
Larry, quaff that beer and go to your room! Patty WILL clobber you if she sees you, and Junior is clearly better off studying when you are not around to confuse the issue with your brain-farts….
Reminds me of Stephen Wright mentioning something about “a theme, a motif… There’s a word you don’t hear often. Leon Spinks, use the word motif in a sentence. ‘I wish I had motif.’” (Google him if you have to.)

To use yesterday’s jargon, she’s rarely dis-mad. Dismayed, yes, but not dis-mad.

Nice to see Larry in the strip. We see very little of him anymore. Same goes for Zebra. Bring back Zebra!
