Wizard World Chicago!
Join me this weekend at Wizard World Chicago where you can find me at table 3731 where i’ll have comics, graphic novels, prints, posters and working on commissions! If you’re going to be around, please be sure to come by and say HI!
I figured it out without help. Nice one, ‘Brina!
Thank you madame, your mother wears combat boots.
Interesting choice of words.
Doesn’t Sabrina know it is rude to speak a foreign language in a foreign country?
In fact most countries like it when people at least try speak the local language. As long as they don’t screw up on purpose.
I’m from Montreal and I appreciate people who try to speak french.
I’ve been to Italy and most waiters admitted to have apreciated me trying to speak italian.
BTW, Sabrina’s french isn’t all that bad here. But if she ment “could I have another one (Slap)”, in french slap is a feminine noun so you say “Une”, not “Un”, designing a masculine noun. Props for the effort though.
You know, it’s a heel who speaks a language that isn’t the native tongue. It’s to purposely exclude the audience from whatever it is she’s saying
Yes, I did too. One usually hears that in a slightly different context At least I do. *laffs
Judging by this and the VI I’d say it’s ON! And boss, good work on the faces. They speak volumes.
Being a show off Brenda? Saying you know what they said but refusing to share it with me. Puts a tootsie roll in your slipper.
Gorgeous page boss…
Did you see me in the crowd? 😀
No, but Sabrina is looking very lovely in panel 1 and I looooove the face she makes in Panel 4.
Mmm, that’s good spite! Taking everything of theirs for yourself… Well done, Sabrina! Crush her spirit. If she’s outraged now, she’ll be desperate soon. And if she’s desperate, she’s halfway to surrender. That’s how heroes play head games!
I like Sabrina. I like her a lot!
Speaking of head games you should have seen me in action last Tuesday night, now that was a series of head games.
Oh….she will give you more Sabrina…you stupid stupid arrogant fool. She seems to not have learned any humility yet. Do not worry though, Chloe will beat some into her and more. Pfft you people who are against Chloe are going to be in for a rude awakening when she puts Sabrina in the hopsital where Rua should be resting…under my tender care…
BBD I don’t want you sitting on Brenda while she is in the hospital.
I never heard it called that before
‘Brina is looking super cute today!
…
I mean…er…
*fluster*
GO ‘BRINA!
Think how cute she would look in Kitten ears!
…Trying to hint at something? Hmmm?
Nice page, as usual ! Can’t wait to see the fight 🙂
However, google translation is not perfect : Sabrina should say “Puis-je en avoir une autre ?” (if you meant to say “could I have another one”)
French is soooo hard for English-speakers ^^
Think that is hard, trying being French and speaking English.
I believe that it’s supposed to be quoting the line from Animal House, which had a frat guy getting hazed by being paddled, to which he was required to shout “Thank you sir, may I have another!”.
I think this is a grand way for Sabrina to taunt Chloe. This is going to be an epic and brutal match.
Oh, it’s far older than Animal House. But that could be AlB’s reference. He can be cutely naive at times. Like there was this strip bridge game we… ummm nm
It’s my shame to admit that the immediate reference was from Melrose’s Place. XD
I hope Sabrina treats Chloe like a good book: Opens her up and see that she’s red from cover to cover.
So let me get this right Coel, you want her to find the knife in Chloe’s bag and cut her open? Now that is just plain evil.
I’m just an old splatterpunk at heart 🙂
See!! See!!
Chloe is a good.. she like fans, she cared for fans.. while others are traitors..
Chloe expose Sabrina as evil.. Sabrina is evil..
You might have a point there MGC. I heard that Sabrina is really tight with the writer.
Man, what are you smoking and how strong is it? Chloe hasn’t had one positive thing to say about the fans since she got off the plane. She’s getting the hometown pop and that’s it. She’s just pissed that about half the crowd actually picked up on that, and started cheering for someone who gives a damn about their fans
Sabrina must call her mademmoiselle..
Madame is used for married female..
Chloe is married to her job.
Brina seems pleasantly surprised by the fact she’s getting some backup against the hometown gal. reminds me a bit of the current Cena/Punk situation where both guys have their own fan demographics at the moment. i think Chloe’s about to go Dragonball on Brina in the final panel for daring to speak Chloe (formerly known as French) and given they’re inside a metal cage all that electrical ki power could be fatal to Ultragirl’s chances here. ;P
Wow, Chloe has her own language? Did she call dibs or something?
Anyway, awesome page – can’t wait for the rest of the fireworks to start!
More stage setting. I predict we’ll finally get down to the fight on the last panel Wednesday.
Chloe still hasn’t convinced me that she’s really French. She may have the arrogance, but she doesn’t have the style. Let’s see the birth certificate, why is she hiding it? 😉 I bet she was really born in Kenya! ::sends BBD some minty cookies to freshen him up::
Hahahahahahaha. And people thought that Sabrina was just a one dimensional wrestler. Here she is, playing mindgames with Chloe, and quite effectivly too. Cloud your opponent’s thoughts with anger, while keeping a cool and level head yourself. It’s as old as the Art of War. And on a different note, why the hell shouldn’t Brina parlez-vous a little française? Not like DeSad has a copyright on it. Besides, she butchers English often enough.
Chloe may have brought a kendo stick, but this is when Sabrina reveals she brought Spaceballs: The Flamethrower!
The kids love it
Right on, 2O2BC. I had two years of French and I didn’t have a clue as to how to start that. XD
LOL Snowy! Mother wears combat boots!!! I think almost everyone would look cute in kitten ears. Even De Sade. XD
Thanks Champ! Yeah, the phrase has been around a few different places and now at a French PPV!
Thanks Dyna!!
DragonMan, I’m so happy that you noticed Sabrina evolving, not just reacting but thinking ahead. I can’t promise how long that’ll last…. XD She likes you too. 😉
LOLZ @ BBD
Goldengirl, Sabrina totally loves your cute wrestling skirt and top. 😀
Thanks Franath! Sabrina didn’t quite nail the translation but that’s okay because it’s Ultragirl. lol I had two years of French in high school and I can’t remember a lick of it.
Coel, if Sabrina has her way, she’ll end up resembling the god of war after this fight with Chloe.
MGC, I think Chloe showed her true feelings for the fans when she no-showed the Appreciation Party from her fan club. To borrow jpiv’s comparison, Chloe is like Cena and Sabrina is like Punk.
jpiv, I’m glad that Sabrina’s pleasant surprise came over. She was gearing up to be booed all night but things have a funny way of working themselves out. Of course, we know that fans/marks can be finicky.
GhostEraser, the fireworks will be blasting off in 3…2…
Darkmark, or maybe the first!
I agree Cookie Ogre. If and when we get this alleged birth certificate, let’s get records of the schools she went to as well!
Donny, it seems that Sabrina has a gameplan! And part of it is thinking instead of just reacting. I can’t promise how long she’ll stick to it, but there it is.
LOL Amanda! Just as long as Pizza the Hutt doesn’t show up, we’ll all be okay. XD
“Goldengirl, Sabrina totally loves your cute wrestling skirt and top. ”
*frantic blushing*
Awwww That’s so cute! I was gonna say I like it too and ask where you got it. I’m thinking of changing my look.
*struggles to regain composure, looking as casual as possible*
*ahen*
Thanks Champ! You can thank my dad, Rick “The Golden Goliath” Sinclair (retired! So don’t go encouraging him!), who had it custom made after I finished my physio recovery and got back in the saddle. He’s awesome like that.
I’m always changing my look though, some people even think I have done so while they were stood there talking to me, though can’t fathom how!
Actually the only thing sabrina should call De sade is whats the french word for dumb stupid tramp? De Ssade is mad that someone else spoke her language what an egotistical little snot. If anyone needs any humility beaten into them its De Sade.
It could well come to a beatdown. But it would be nice to see some wrestling too.
Wouldn’t it be sweet to see Brina make Chloe admit she’s the better wrestler?
YES!
*ahem*
Yes it would.
*polite nod*
Great way to build up the tension 🙂 I’m sure you’re missing an Accente grav et goo somewhere in that but it’s fitting 🙂 Since it’s the saucy language of the Francophones. 😀
You know I’ll be swinging by a couple times throughout the weekend.
yeah that would be awsome Brenda hehe especially if she used a submission to do it.
Heh, heh… you did say you didn’t mind French suggestions (and thank you for that!):
1) “Merci Madame. Puis-je en avoir une deuxième?” (a slap is “gifle”, so feminine)- this is neutral, if slightly sarcastic.
That’s the literal translation- if you need something more flexible, you can try:
2) Merci bien chère dame. Me feriez vous l’honneur de m’en donner une deuxième?” (literally: “Thank you kindly dear lady. Would you honour me with a second one”; only people who have really good command of French would say it, as it echoes the slightly “precious” past of the french language).
3) “Charmant. Tu réessayes un peu, pour voir?” (lit: “charming. Try again, see what happens?” dry, and convey linguistic mastery as well as a more… slang… tendency).
4) “Jolie baffe! surtout, ne te gènes pas, répète!” (lit. “Nice punch! Above all, don’t feel bothered, go again!” – as dry as earlier, a bit less on the “illustrious” side).
(also, if I can help with french stuff, during this match or in the future, please do feel free to email me (email entered in the appropriate field), I’d be honoured!
This is really cool! Thank you! And thanks for your offer of help during the match. I will definitely email you for help in translation. 🙂
So I see Chloe isn’t wearing as much make-up as Sabrina for some reason.
