That's one reason I like doing fan-adaptation of a Smurfs comic book from another language into English, to save time on the waiting. Another reason is that I don't like how Papercutz translates the comics. It's basically too literal to the way French people would speak. Grouchy in particular ends up saying "Me, I don't like..." which is totally unnatural to the American audiences who are so used to hearing "I hate..." When I translate what Grouchy says, I want him to say it in the way Americans are used to hearing him say anything. It's not that I wouldn't pick up the Papercutz version if it does come out to see how their translation of the story compares with mine, that they may have found missing I have missed or incorrectly translated.
