Muss man alles selber machen?

Still not done with the BBYLH comics, I wanted to draw more last night, but fell asleep around 10 PM. Meh. Besides, I'm writing a concert report for the DÄOF fanzine, they still need reports for a few concerts, and I decided to give it a go and write about the Budapest gig. I think I'm writing too much, though. I'll probably post it here before I send it, so my almighty German-speaking friends can tell me what they think of it, ie: how many mistakes I made and how many Konjunktive I I've forgotten. :P

Other than that, I've been wanting to post about this for some time: you know the Leo online dictionary, right? A few months ago, they added an Italian version (yesss), as well as a Chinese one. Every language has its own little Leo mascot and I had a big WTF moment when I saw the Italian one:

Plain Leo

English Leo

French Leo

Spanish Leo

Chinese Leo

.

WTF Italian Leo??? XD

The Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Clouseau are the smartest ones, the Spanish and Chinese ones are just your typical "traditional clothes" version, but what's the Italian one supposed to be??? Should it be a mafioso? It looks like something out of Saturday Night Fever to me.

Or maybe... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ2MFE-Y6gE

HAHA, is it bad that this "typical Italian guy" reminds me of Bela? XD *hides*

We have a word for people like that, btw: tamarro. XD Also, thank God I don't sound like that when I speak German. Hopefully. Really, "lappe-toppe"? o_O

PS Yes, I'm going home 2 hours earlier today!

I think that the Italian one is cute.XD
I was about to talk to you about that: how about writing a report for the Berlin shows together? I'd base it on my livejournal posts, but I'm just not very good at writing interesting sounding articles, so I need some good XD Maybe I'll send some photos to them, too.

LOL, it's the little moustache that seals it for me. XD

Your German is excellent and accentless. And yes, Italian Leo is my new best friend too. (What, all Italians don't wear track suits and sunglasses? :P)

I'm afraid you may be right about the sunglasses part. :P
