I changed the title a little, and I don't think it's necessarily right, but it makes more sense to me this way. The translation is calling it "sporting ideal", with the joke being that she's attracted to the hockey player and is then disappointed to see him without his bulky hockey pads. I changed it to "sports idol", even though it seems that "idol" is a completely different word in Hungarian. If any Hungarian speakers would translate it differently, please let me know!

As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

“sporting ideal”

I think that would have been fine, honestly. She's presumably drawn to him in part because in the pads he embodied an ideal of the rugged, powerful, and large ice hockey player, the shape matching the perception of the sport itself, but in street clothes he's apparently just a dude.

I can see that too, however it just hits the ear weird to me. Like, it's literally accurate, but I don't know that I would ever phrase it that way over "sports idol". Maybe I'm overthinking it though.

I like your choice, I think it still captures the original idea!

Transliteration, translation and localisation are always fun to try and balance, and no matter what someone will always tell you you did it wrong.

Idol definitely fits better here to my english-only ass.

Definitely means ideal, not idea.

I think it's because Hungarian compound words can hide different grammatical constructions. Also ideal in this usage might just be archaic in both languages, in Hungarian it sounds a bit old.

Öltöző means dressing room btw

Y'all the appeal of hockey players on a purely physical level is lower torso and butt. You watch them move and you know their obliques will feel like pythons and their ass will jut out like a Hapsburg chin.

They're also symbols of fighting spirit which is hot.

I feel like this comic more applies to footballers, they're far smaller than you think in person (at least that's where I had the exact reaction she is having here, meeting an MLS player and thinking "wow he is way smaller than I thought".)

Basketball players and baseball players are the opposite, they're so much bigger in person than they look on the field.

I just need to compliment you on the ass like a hapsburg chin line beyond a simple upvote. I guffawed.

She's wearing pants in the last frame as shown by her shoe and pant line intersection.

HOWEVER. Those also look like hairy legs without any underwear too.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
  ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
  ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
  Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.

Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

Jago
Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
