I love Belgium
Begroeten!
Wow. One mention of the comic strip on a site for young Belgian actors and at least twenty-five new people came through and read every single one of the comic strips!
So I go to check the reference that at least eight people followed and found a posting in Dutch. Using the handy-dandy internet translation software, I think they liked the comic strip.
My mangled translation follows, for the amusement of my new Dutch-speaking friends:
"I, who has quite the reputation here (as "freak of the north or possibly Ireland") but however! I have network a new webcomic online! And it is fantastic! I am all a-thither!"
"Even with the ones you read every day?"
"Unfortunately, I have ... um... something. ... nobody internet, but I have about 40 bookmarks whose 14 weekly reads which helpless is quite enough for me."
"But you should give thesnakefarm.com a try."
Yes, it looks like online translation devices work just fine! Thank you, Technology!

Hey, I used to speak Dutch fluently. If you give me the link I can try and decode it for you.

wow, you found out that we're actors! I'm so pleased. The fact is, that we're all actors studying English (long story, don't ask), and your response on the forum has generated a large amount of the kind of bad translations your translating software gave.(again, long story, we're just weird people).
Basically I (yes, the person responsible for this mess)was saying I'm kind of an online comic freak and PE was sort of a new acquisition. But yes, they were kind remarks. I love the comic.
