Read them as a kid; did not enjoy illustrations at the time because everything was so... trashy, crappy, make-shift -- which as an adult I realize was exactly the point :) It also caused UNTOLD confusion to my childhood mind. It was translated into our language, but they left the honorific "Sir" untranslated, as-is. "Sir" means "Cheese" in my language... :O As far as I was concerned for several years, whenever the characters in the comic spoke to anybody of authority, they would speak like: "Cheese Bob, please Cheese, don't beat us up Cheese!" "Cheese YES Cheese!" "I'm terribly sorry Cheese. It will not happen again Cheese!" ... honestly, I missed that dose of surrealism when I put 2 and 2 together eventually :-D
