Mad Spanish

I was doing an eBay search today for, what else, The Mad Hatter, and I came across this gem from South of the Border:

Now, I already have two copies of this issue, so I don’t think I’ll buy the third, but what caught my eye was that it was in Spanish. And that “The Mad Hatter” in Spanish is simply, “El Sombrerero Loco.” That’s…pretty much what I would have come up with on my own if you had told me, “YOU! Using your limited knowledge of Spanish, gleaned from one semester of Spanish 1 in high school, Speedy Gonzales cartoons, and Spanish ads on the subway, WHAT IS THE MAD HATTER’S NAME IN SPANISH!?!”

El Sombrerero Loco. It still has a little flavor to it, but just doesn’t do it for me.
