Gibi

O Troy adora ler o gibi da Turma da Mônica. Toda noite antes de dormir ele lê uma historinha em voz alta na cama e depois faz uma breve reflexão sobre que acabou de ler.

Ele não gosta das histórias do Cebolinha por causa da troca dos "R" pelos "L", como "elado" ao invés de "errado". As do Chico Bento então nem se fale, os personagens falam praticamente um outro idioma. "Eita Zé Lelé, num creditu qui ocê cumeu as goiaba tudinha qui nóis ía dá pra fessora ." Dá tanto trabalho traduzir "caipirês" para português que o Troy costuma pular as histórias do Chico Bento.

O Troy gosta tanto da Turma da Mônica que até tem um estoque de gibis em casa para ir lendo aos poucos. Esse é o meu "Brasileirinho".

Troy loves reading "Monica's Gang", a popular Brazilian comic. It's his daily bedtime story. He usually goes to bed, grabs the comic book and starts to read it out loud. Then when he finishes reading he reflects on it a little.

He doesn't like the character "Cebolinha/JimmyFive" very much. Cebolinha is incapable of pronouncing "R", replacing it with "L", making it hard for Troy to understand what he's saying in Portuguese. (E.g.: Cebolinha says "calamel" instead of "caramel").

There's another character called "Chico Bento/ChuckBilly" that is even harder to understand. Chico Bento and his friends live in the countryside of Brazil. He is a stereotypical Brazilian hillbilly who walks barefoot, always wears a straw hat, and lives in a little country town. Troy doesn't like reading Chico Bento because his stories represent how a hillbilly would talk by writing his lines with typical mistakes of Brazilian Portuguese and he doesn't want to learn it.

Troy enjoys "Monica's Gang" so much that he has a bunch of comics stashed at home that he reads little by little.
