Since my last colour-based game proved to be popular, I thought I'd do another one. The rules are exactly the same - but for anyone who didn't play, here they are:

  • Post the name of something in both Spanish and English - it can be anything from a food to an emotion.
  • Pictures are very welcome, as always.
  • Most importantly - have fun!

Ya que mi último juego basado en el color demostrado para ser popular, pensé que podría hacer un otro. Las reglas son exactamente las mismas - pero para quien no jugó, aquí están:

  • Publicar el nombre de algo en español y inglés - puede ser cualquier cosa desde una comida a una emoción.
  • Imágenes son muy bienvenidos, como siempre.
  • Lo más importante - ¡diviértase!

Here's a starter:

El Chico Amarillo / The Yellow Kid

"Mickey Dugan, más conocido como El Chico Amarillo (The Yellow Kid en inglés), fue el personaje principal de la serie Hogan's Alley, una tira de prensa estadounidense publicada entre 1895-98. Tal fue su éxito que dio lugar al término prensa amarilla al aparecer simultanéamente en el New York World de Joseph Pulitzer y el New York Journal de William Randolph Hearst. La serie también es recordada en la historia del cómic por ser la primera en usar globos o bocadillos para contener el diálogo de los personajes, aunque el chico usualmente se comunicaba a través de frases que aparecían impresas en su camisa...

El Chico Amarillo era un niño con los dientes desaliñados y una tonta sonrisa, que vistiendo una camisa de dormir amarilla compartía un callejón con otros personajes igualmente desarreglados. Rara vez hablaba, siendo su lenguaje una jerga marginal, típica de gueto."

wiki

"ser la primera en usar globos o bocadillos para contener el diálogo de los personajes"

"speech balloons".

Though this is not quite true--the first newspaper comic to use them, perhaps not their first use.
