It’s off topic, but I recently picked up the first twenty episodes of Ultraman for $5 at Target. As amazon.com reviews note, the picture quality is poor, and the sound has problems, but it’s a quarter an episode for something I haven’t seen in 35 or 40 years. OK, maybe I’ll reach an Ultraman saturation point before I watch all the episodes. It’s still a good deal.

In the Fudge series the oldest child notes how lucky he is that the candy naming started with his younger brother, though in that case they were only nicknames.

Did his parents suddenly grow that mean sense of humor between the first and second sons? Why wasn’t Rex named something like “Fast”?

His name in the Japanese version was Goh MIFUNE. His name got “translated” to Speed Racer in the American version.

Is his actual NAME Speed Racer? If it is, then he might not understand that a racer races; it’s just his name.

That C&H “short” is at least 100 seconds too long.

C&H did a short called Speed Racist a few months ago.

I thought it was hilarious! Frankly, Brent in the 4th panel explained it all. Just a bad translation through and through. While yeah, Speed Racer isn’t exactly the best show to use that joke on… I can’t think off too many other Japanese shows that involved racing that are as well known as Speed Racer.
