Notes | "That the design was drawn in jest can be seen in the title: "kimo ga imo ni naru" (literally, "their livers became potatoes.") Kimo as a bodily metaphor means something like "guts" or "gall" in English, while imo refers to a country bumpkin. So the joke is that the two cool, macho men turn into mush when they inexplicably encounter a giant octopus lurking in their potato fields. Maybe we could render this in English "their guts went nuts" or "their gall developed a pall!"" (see [1] and [2]) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
