Gratuitous English/Newspaper Comics
Examples of Gratuitous English in Newspaper Comics include:
- A French translation of a Peanuts comic strip once had Linus Van Pelt, after speaking in perfect French, refer to his blanket-hating, caffeine-addicted grandmother as "Granny." Pretty jolting, especially since the French almost certainly have a pet name of their own for their grandmothers.
