Brendan Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 So I?ve picked up a metro a few times over the last week or so and noticed this comic strip at the back. The one with the goth girl and her hilarious neuroses. I can?t help but notice that she looks suspiciously similar to Neil Gaiman?s character, Death from the Sandman series. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ruohomaa/oma/enkeli/death.gif Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7538-that-goth-girl-cartoon-in-the-metro/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_birdseye Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Isn't it Dutch or Norwegian or something? Probably hilarious in it's original language, but clearly loses any humour or poignancy in translation.

HonaloochieB Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It's funnier than Fred Basset but not as funny as Marmaduke.I know, but it was the faintest praise I could think of on the spur of the moment.

mockney piers Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Funny you should say that, working in Amsterdam at lunch time it was quite a regular occurence for a Dutch person to make a comment that would have all the Dutch in stitches while we'd look at each other and shrug. The exact reverse would also occur alot. Note that we did share alot of humour but certain strands just wouldn't cross the cultural divide at all. I might add that none of them found the fast show 'he ish my colleague and alsho my lover' sketch in the least bit funny. :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7538-that-goth-girl-cartoon-in-the-metro/#findComment-237524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Max Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 As it's Friday I feel like a bit of completely unjustifiable generalisation. I have found the Dutch I have worked with to be overwhelmingly straight of beam and steady of purpose. Like motivated Swiss.Perhaps I have always just met the wrong kind of theDutch. But I put them up there with any of yer northern Europeans for their grim work ethic and need to conform.At least the Finns, their equal in daytime taciturnity (root Tace: Ltn), all turn into superheroes after midnight and/or three litres of Estonian vodka.

mockney piers Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Quite agree ted, they are, on the whole, so far remved from the cliche of the dope smoking chilled anything goes image it's actually funny. They are incredibly open about sex mind you. In fact that was generally the topic of conversation that left the Brits nonplussed. - yesh, my wife and I had shexual intercourshe lasht night. I had to exshamine my wrist watch twishe before we both came. Cue hilarity around table among Dutch, embarrassed and confused shuffling among Brits who swear blind they can hear the chirruping of crickets.
