*UPDATE* Our First Book is coming out! But we need YOUR help!
**UPDATE**
We’re really happy that we’ve had so many responses! THANKS! Just a couple more weeks to vote for which title YOU like best for our book! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
We’re up to 350 comics last week!
WOW! So we’re about to come out with our first M and Mx book. We’re pretty excited here. But we’re also a bit confused and frustrated. WE CAN’T THINK OF A TITLE! With a comic like ours, Chinese/English and all things about China and the WEST… what can the title be?? We have a couple options below and if you take a few seconds to choose which title you like and that will help us make a decision!
Explanation:
Our ideas are as follows. The Chinese language has many words that when translated into English are not translated literally. And when you translate those common words from Chinese into English they sound very funny. Example: “American Football” (橄榄球) in Chinese is literally translated as “olive ball.” These are very humorous to me, not so much MX since she doesn’t think of “OLIVE BALL” she thinks of it as “American football.”
So I thought that a couple of these kinds of words combined together would make a catchy and memorable title. Here are the choices that you can choose. Please choose one that you like best for the title of our book!

If you need help you can always use the comic we did back in June of this same song.
