I’m going to need help understanding this.
Calvin is equating Paul Revere with Santa.
The presents are coming! The presents are coming!
The Brazilian translation I own replaced him with Thomas Jefferson. Kinda random but I found it funny
What’s the translation of the previous “antelope/ant eloping” pun? I can’t imagine that works in other languages.
“brutamonte” (rude or big strong person) and “bruta monte” (really big mount)
It’s a very bad joke, but I don’t blame the translators. How would they ever translate this bit
Huh, I wonder why they did that?
Because almost nobody in Brazil would know Paul Revere
But they would know Thomas Jefferson? If I were tasked to choose the most famous U.S. political figures, I might have chosen Washington or Lincoln…
I’m not from Brazil but from Germany and out of all the U.S. founding fathers Washington, Franklin and Jefferson were the ones I had heard of. Lincoln also, but he is not one of them, is he?
No, Lincoln wasn’t a founding father. He was just a famous president who came later.
Lincoln is famous because he was the president during the US civil war and abolished slavery. This happened a century after us independence/founding.
