shorthand
The situation was absurd:
When i picked up Kirby from school, the kids came straight out of PE, heated up in their shirts, while the people picking them up wore pullovers and/or coats/jackets.
Kirby drew the Turtles in their sewer home. He started to experiment with drawing detailed anatomy, muscles in this case. It's in no way a correct depiction of the human … a human-like body, rather half circles put on shapes resembling limbs, BUT, he put in them in/on the right place. I dig his shorthand for depicting Rocksteady and Bebop.
We watched an episodes of the 1987 cartoon, and the german dub is in parts glorious, harkening back to the completely off the rails work Rainer Brandt did with The Persuaders and the Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill movies.
Like in the first TMNT movie, when the Turtles play Trivial Pursuit at the farm, in the german version the question was something like "Which rusian novel with more than 500 characters is set during Napleion's wars?", and Donatello answers "Dirty Harry", which is hilarious somehow. In the episode we watched, Donatello works on some drug to get Irma to shrink back to her normal size; asked about what he's fumbling about with he says "A urin sample." Glorious nonsense, wonder what the original text was.
My health made itself known in a terrifying way. Have no idea how long i'll last this way; and what i could do to change something.
