MEXICAN COMICS: HULK EL HOMBRE INCREIBLE

El HOMBRE INCREÎBLE?  The Incredible Man??

 

Logo - Hulk

 

Hulk says: “¡POBRE DE TI, JIM!  RINO TE LASTIMO… …PERO LO PAGARA MUY CARO.”

 

Translation (and I think it’s broken Hulk Spanish): “POOR YOU JIM!  RHINO HURT YOU!  BUT WILL PAY DEARLY!”

 

RHINO THINKS: ¡Eso es gigante verde! No te muevas ahora… Y te juro que ya no te moveras nunca.”

 

TRANSLATION: “It’s the Green Giant!  Move now and I swear that you’ll never move again!”

Benny slings fish and knows how keep them swimming out the door.

 

PIMN - Walter from Fish Market

 

A few drops of Visine takes the red out of fish eyes too.  Besides, it’s an old wive’s tale that red eyes mean the fish is rotting.  Some fish just have red eyes.
