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

    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.
