So hey @evilkneazle this happened. ^
Okay, so I talked to my pal who’s a professional interpreter and she says she basically agrees with this.
Her actual commentary: “You’re exactly right: “Stupid” and “Clint.” I can’t really extrapolate more than that without having context, but I am wondering what the question mark is all about. [I then sent her the whole page, rather than just the bottom couple panels] I think maybe it’s Barney asking Clint, “Are you stupid or something?” Clint hasn’t been involved in his own treatment or shown any interest and Barney is obviously fed up. It feels like spelling his name is like when your mom would get so mad she would throw in your middle name.”
That last part feels so right. That perhaps Barney is spelling it out in frustration, though it’s also possible that Clint doesn’t have a name sign.
Anyway, thanks, @whichfandomdoipick and @actuallyclintbarton! Good convo!
Whether he’s just asking if Clint’s stupid or he’s doing the “mom using your middle name” thing, this makes a hell of a lot of sense. Hooray!

One of Marvel’s Avengers Turns to Sign Language. The story strives to connect readers with what he is experiencing: when he can’t hear, the word balloons on the page are blank. The comic also makes extensive use of sign language, but provides no key to interpreting them. “If nothing else, it’s an opportunity for hearing people to get a taste of what it might be like to be deaf,” Mr. Fraction said.
do you ever just use an emoticon or phrase ONCE and then all of a sudden it makes up 99% of your daily vocabulary
I CANNOT stop saying ‘seems legit’. It’s a plague.
I never used to use the word ‘bro’. Then I went to New Zealand for two weeks. Eight months later, I still can’t stop.
It’s true. (is what I say all the time, more in person than online I think, but I use it so much that my ex-boyfriend asked one of our interpreters how to say it in Russian so he could tell me, when we were in Ukraine like 10 years ago, sooooo… yeah.)
Re: the ‘bro’ thing, that’s why when I read Fraction’s Hawkeye, the tracksuit mafia all have Kiwi accents in my head. If Fraction ever writes any of them saying ‘choice’, it’ll be incontrovertible.

Clint signing Kate’s cast after she hurts her ankle? He gets beat up so often compared to her that it’s probably a rare occurrence that he won’t let pass by without marking it. 🙂“You don’t have to enjoy this so much.”
“Well maybe you should be more careful.”
“YEP, HAWKGUY.”
"EYE, EYE.”
“HAWKGUY.”

itp: laundry gives hawkeye fans ~feelings~
I think it’s going to become a thing: new issue of Hawkeye hits me in the feels (emotions jihadist!!), I use Art! to try to get over it.
ffs, Clint. More than this I shall not say, to avoid making this crazy-mad spoiler-y. Honestly, unless you just met Clint Barton yesterday, then you know damn and well that ‘ffs, Clint!’ is pretty much a default with him and therefore not a spoiler for this or any other issue.
(If you aren’t reading Fraction’s Hawkeye, you’re missing out on
a full-frontal assault to the heartcomics excellence)
i love happy coincidences
I may have just laughed way too hard. I don’t care.
