Hi!

Many thanks for the answers!

I thought of such a translation (as it would only make sense in the context) but as even leo.org did not know of this idiom, I needed to ask...

Cheers

maybe:
"nicht ich!"

which means "not me".
This would probably more a question for my brother.....

As if! Why should I suddenly be able to speak proper German? I'm Austrian too, remember? ;)

I've been thinking about this question too, because we translate some material into German. But in some cases it's simply not possible... This strip is quite a tough one too...

What I would maybe use is "Du bist's" (It's you!) which is what I remember we were using as kids during the tagging game, right? Doesn't really fit the last picture though...

The strip was funny and most folks got the meaning----subtle humor is oft times subjective and prone to difficulty in translation ;D |:)\
