Comics fan located south of the Rio Grande. Astérix, Spirou et Fantasio & Tintin are my favourite French-language strips, but I can't imagine a life without Calvin & Hobbes.

    And it’s not even Mexican, by the way. It’s Spanish. But it was all the rage in Mexico in the mid-90s. “Macarena” is a copy of a song by the name of Perro Lanudo from the mid-60s, by the way. I wonder why there were no lawsuits involved

    English is now is the official language, and in next panel he switches to “por favor”. Good one.

    For us Latinos not living in the US and not having any connection to the Mexican-American society, this is all so surreal.

    That would be “pimienta” – if you mean pepper, as in salt & pepper.

    I was once in Acapulco sunbathing alongside a Norwegian couple who were saying to each other all kinds of awful stuff about Mexico and Mexicans – in Norwegian, of course -, while I chatted away with my family in our native Spanish. So at some point I “casually” struck up a conversation with them in Norwegian (I lived in Norway for several years back in the 80s and speak the language fluently). Guess they were embarrassed at the thought I had overheard them. They turned out to be very nice people who had had a bad experience, so I actually sided with them in some respects!
