   Agreed. What’s the joke? “First” isn’t the same as “New.” The Bat was the first tone. Phantom is the newest one.

   Oh, I get it. They’re pointing out that the name “Harry Hole” was a poor choice. Fans of the series accepted it as his name. Not a good SignSpot.

   The name of the character in the book is Harry Hole, so their is nothing to translate. Not really too funny.
