Off topic: Misadventures of a young translator (new comic strip / blog featuring translator 'Mox') Thread poster: Alejandro Moreno-Ramos

Dear colleagues, I would like to share with you my new comic strip. It tells the misadventures of a young translator called Mox. Two PhDs, six languages... and he hardly earns the minimum wage. Almost all "adventures" are based on mistakes I made over the last decade. The result is a strip full of clichés. However, I hope you will enjoy it. You may fi...

Very funny, I especially loved the "Free Time" one. I showed it to my roommate and now she understands it is not just me being weird but it is part of being a translator! | | |

Thank you everybody for your nice words. I'm very pleased to learn that many of you enjoy the strip. There will be more (mis)adventures soon: Will Mox learn how to raise his rates? Does he use CAT tools? Will he create a blog? | | |
Added to my favorites! | May 1, 2009 |
I really like it too! | | |

I see it as the illustrative satire of modern translator's freelancing life. I think everyone on here can relate to these. Are you the author of both the text and the drawings? | | |
Great, thanks! | May 1, 2009 |

Thank you for this comical comic. Nancy | | |
¡Gracias a todos! | May 1, 2009 |
Sonja, nice plot for future strips... Lingua 5B, I'm the author of both the text and the drawings. However, the characters are so fat that they require quite a lot of ink and time to draw, I wonder if I could outsource that task Henry, thanks a lot for your offer. I like the idea | | |
