Translation Cartoonist Tony Beckwith

Tony Beckwith is a translator, interpreter, writer, voice talent, and cartoonist in Austin, Texas. If you haven't seen Tony's cartoons in the GALAxy Newsletter or other translation industry publications, you can see a small archive of them here on his site. Not all of the cartoons are related to translation and interpretation, but here is a sampling of Tony's translation-related cartoons (posted with Tony's permission):

Um...the speaker just told a joke that can't be translated...
please, everyone laugh, or I'll be in big trouble!".

For not spell-checking my translations
before sending them to the client. And you?

Thank you, Tony!

It would be great to see more consistent translation-related cartoons from syndicated cartoonists (or to get more cartoonists like Tony to become syndicated). One of these syndicated rarities is a favorite of mine by Non Sequitur's Wiley Miller called The Fine Art of Interpretation
