    Greetings, and help needed with Russian comic.

    Hello,

    A quick introduction: I've only recently decided to try and take learning Russian (through self-study) seriously. So far, I'm working my way through Chapter 4 in the Penguin book, and I'm upto the 7th lesson of Pimsleur Russian I. So, I'm an extreme beginner.

    But I'm anxious to get started working my way through some real Russian texts and found a cool site that has a bunch of Russian comics on it. Well, I'm already stumped on an easy one. I was wondering if someone could translate the dialogue for me and possibily give me a nudge in the right direction for working through the rest on my own?

    Here's the link:

    http://www.comics.aha.ru/rus/klakhmu/1.html

    It's just the first page I'm confused by, as it seems these two phrases require a greater familiarity with the language. I'm assuming that what is being said is something along the lines of "Hey, where are you going? And what about me?" but I've filled in some blanks there so I'm probably wrong.

    So, any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi, armageddon t. thunderbird! Your translation is absolutely correct.

    armageddon's version is slightly better...

    "Hey! Where to are you going?" sounds more philosophical than "Hey! Where are you going?"

    'Where to are you going?' just ain't English, friend. No philosophy about it.
    А если отнять еще одну?

    Yeah, you would need some heavy duty philosophy to swallow that construction!

    I would say:
    Where are you two going? The meaning's totally different from the initial one but it's still funny :P

    Well, I don't know what to say. I want to say thanks to the Academy, to Mama, to Papa and to my dog. I love you all.
