If you are as confused as Sandra, that’s kind of the point of this comic. Everything will be explained in the next one.
Update [22 November 2013]: Apparently, world-famous football manager José Mourinho is not as famous among our readers as I thought. Therefore I decided to add a short explanation for Sandra’s statement in her last word bubble; just like I did for Ratatoskr in WWRD?.
Update [5 December 2013]: Since only passionate football buffs seem to have understood the original version, I decided to change Sandra’s text in the last panel. I have therefore removed all comments since they are no longer up-to-date.
Click on the following thumbnail to see the full drawing of a giant butterfly putting José Mourinho into a mailbox:
- Woo: Sandra, can you ask Richard to drive me to Beech Valley this weekend?
- Sandra: That’s 40 miles away. What do you want there?
- Woo: I want to watch Butterfly sending The Special One.
- Sandra: You want to watch a giant insect putting José Mourinho into a mailbox??
- Woo: … Not … quite.

Aww……..I liked that one!
Ehh. Personally as someone who doesn’t follow football, I was able to follow the joke well enough with the footnote.
I liked the original. I didn’t understand it, until I read the footnote. But once I did, I understood & liked it.
… This one comic strip, across two instances, has become somewhat of a dadaist art piece.
What at first made sense only to very few people, now doesn’t entirely make much sense to anyone… and yet it remains… a testament to… um… things being lost in translation, then the translation itself being lost? Nonsensicality?
I read a really good Sci-Fi book called Lost in Translation. Unfortunately I don’t remember the author’s name…
But I highly recommend it anyway. Also I love that image even if I don’t know who the hell the guy is.
