Alejandro, gracias por traernos a Mox! Me divierte mucho porque es la primera vez que veo nuestra profesión tan bien caricaturizada. Bravo y continua por favor!
Seguramente nos reiremos mucho cuando nos cuentes cómo hace Mox para ganar nuevos clientes y sus ¨metidas de pata¨.

So true, so true... I sent it to my non-translator husband who will likely relate to Mox's girl friend. Keep them coming...

| Soooooo funny! | Jun 9, 2009 |
Love the cartoon Alejandro, muchas gracias, very generous of you to take time to share your wit and talent for the good of translators everywhere!
I think my favourite is Calvo's non-literal "interpretation" of the sales blah blah...tho' hard to choose....
Hope you get time to keep creating Mox stories.

| A plot, I hope.. | Jun 9, 2009 |
The interpretor could be a worm, the CEO would cut the worm in two and turn it into two languages. Then in four and so on. Until they finally decide to put the hundreds of pieces in a mixer and drink the interpretor. One of them would then burp a giga bit.
