Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for February 26, 2022

This problem comes up all the time in Dulingo’s french translations.

OK, we’re slightly further in caricature territory here than normal, even for MMM. Firstly, wrong plural. One stone, two stone. Secondly, a foreigner might get confused by the two meanings of pound, but a Brit wouldn’t. The characters are the wrong way round, in other words – this should be Satchel getting confused over MMMs usage.

What they need is a wacko to English dictionary.

England and America. Two great countries separated by a common language.

Stone=14 lbs. Pound= $1.34 currently! Yes Satch is does get confusing!

You can buy one for maybe 50 quid, Satch.

So a quid is slang for a pound, just as a buck is slang for a dollar ???

I got crisps and chips down

Just one more reason to switch to metric, like the rest of the bloomin’ world! (including England!)

“America and England: Two nations, united by a common heritage, divided by a common language”, Winston Churchill.

Stick to meowing, the universal language

Dang; beat me to it.

Or maybe a dog to McManx dictionary.

but how do you catch a quid? very carefully

Yes Satchel you do

I love the interaction between them

Give it a rest. It’s a comic, not an accounting class.

Mac is bang on. But Satchel thinks he’s taking the Mickey.

My own rule of thumb: a regular camera adds ten pounds, a webcam adds fifteen pounds, a silly hat: 20 pounds, and a wide-angle-lens phonecam-for-selfies adds 150 pounds. Just a rough estimate, but you can see for yourself online.
