Spanish removed from main article. Does someone want to transwiki it?

Aliados: El Kitapón, El Omnipresente buitre, El Negro Llorarás

Enemigos: El Conejo Mariguano, El Malandro, La Ladrona Encuerada, Elmo Jones

I fear the pun on Cerdotado might be lost in translation. In spanish ser dotado means gifted being, but Cerdotado would mean gifted pig. He reminds me a lot of Squigley from Sinfest. --189.157.192.232 07:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A good, idiomatic translation would be 'SuperPig' in keeping with the spirit of the strip. Jasso uses a lot of wordplay that can be lost in translation and explanations often ruin the comedy.

For example, the glove puppet who speaks for El Conejo Marijuano is called 'Elmo Jones' - in Spanish this would sound more like 'el mojones', which translates roughly as 'the shits'. The Stoner Rabbit himself has a real name that, whilst totally legitimate (Rolando Mota del Campo) could also be taken to mean 'bring in the weed'.
