Lost in Translation

Mitch4 sends this in: “I think I get it that each phrase in the third panel is supposed to be a disguising rewriting of a phrase which would trigger automated censorship. But the particular translations completely escape me! (Except maybe Crime==>Un-A-Law, on the model of “unalive”.)

Danny Boy – London Derriere sends this hair-raising one in. Might be a bit of a CIDU, or maybe a Geezer Alert, although Nair is still a brand.

“This one is probably flawed by the last panel, where it seems the cartoonist gave in to the feeling that readers would need help with the senses of pivot word “down”.”

Mitch4 sends in this recently rerun Tiger strip: “The pun turns on a structural ambiguity. “That’s what they call a punching bag” and “Good name for it” (because it has ‘punched’ back at the kid who was using it) . The gerund “punching” takes on two different roles. Similar to (tho not identical to) the classic “Visiting relatives can be tedious”.”
