I’ve heard in Spanish it’s “el rata alada”

[-] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Rata con alas (wingded rat) generally means pidgeon.

Bats don't have bad connotations in Spain, and are even the symbol of Valencia.

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.
