Happy new year you filthy animals. Hopefully I should be uploading some new comics soon. I think Corto Maltese may have been posted by me enough times to justify against me doing it again.

I am curious as to how many get this, since it does involve having to know the unofficial motto of the Canadian Mounties (no, not 'Lets take all First Nation people on starlight tours'), and that ain't common in Europe.

Some Guy TT posted:I feel compelled to note as the OP that while Maus was not a newspaper comic, it was serialized in a magazine, and certainly no more of a departure from the spirit of the thread than certain other recent comics if someone wants something to post. Scans are easier to find than I would have thought too, given it's one of the few comic books people actually buy anymore. For university classes of course, but still. I wouldn't mind Maus.

Oof. I know of a few folk who could tell similar tales and it ain't pretty. On a lighter note, good news, everyone! As of today, I've managed to wrangle an English translation of a Spirou periodical, Jerome K. Jerome Bloche's first adventure! It's a nice, quick-paced adventure, and I reckon I could start this weekend.

I know I talked about possibly uploading a new comic, but after reading it and chewing it over, I'm not sure if it is 'serial' enough to really be included, so I don't think I'll be adding it.

Some Guy TT posted:That's disappointing. We all enjoy your posts and wouldn't second guess the appropriateness of what you bring to the thread. Corto Maltese wasn't really a serial comic either, but it was close enough. I would say the comic I got was... Imagine the gap in the 'serial-ness' between Modesty Blaise and Corto Maltese? That gap is between it and Corto. Don't get me wrong it is fun enough, but...

So, I've been banging my drum for a bit now about my next upload project. And now's as good a time as any - ladies, gentlemen, NBs all, I present to you the first in (frankly, a GIGANTIC amount) of the comic series by Jean-Michael Charlier and Jean Giraud AKA Gir AKA Moebius. I present to you the Western comic: Blueberry This series is one of the Franco-Belgian comic classics, having been started in '63 (back when it was first called Fort Navajo and was less about the soon-to-be titular character and more an ensemble piece) and published all the way up to '07. People have claimed that it was as popular in France as DC comics were back in the golden age of DC, and, having seen the SIZE of the books I'm gonna be working with, I'm not surprised. However, I must say first up, I won't be as regular with this series as I was with Corto for a couple of reasons. 1) I have a job, now and 2) Translating a book that is heavy in idioms translated from French into idioms in Swedish into idioms in English is a little tough. Also, this series is published in colour, but I'm uploading in black and white because it is easier for me to edit the words, easier to sharpen images and also provides an impetus for anyone who would be interested in reading more themselves to support the original writers/artists and get the books themselve. If it's too distracting, I could see about changing my attitude, and I also welcome criticism re. text font, size, etc. However, I think this could be an interesting experience for us all, a journey into a genre from another time and from another place than what we typically expect. Fingers crossed and thumbs held! So, without further ado, in today's Blueberry: Yes, he's smoking a cigar and there are one too many aces but we are reading Blueberry, not the Zyborne Clock, or well, maybe you shouldn't HAVE such a stupid moustache, or Evidently boyscout here wasn't a part of the Christmas celebrations in '26

In today's Blueberry: Oh, NOW that you don't have Graig around to offer platitudes, you're willing to listen to the more level-headed people?!, or Blueberry to the rescue!, or Now, in the original book, the term 'Indaaɫigáí' wasn't used - instead it was 'Bluecoat' - and unfortunately, there's a lot of that type of language used in this story. I'm gonna try and use more accurate terms where I can find them, but I confess as a complete amateur, I may mess up. The Chiricahua people are a group of native Americans residing in the New Mexico/Arizona region and include Apache tribes, hence me feeling that this was the more appropriate term. If people feel this is me being too editorial, or if my corrections are far too inaccurate, I'll stop

Julet Esqu posted:I recognize that this is because you're doing the translating here, but I still want to say that I appreciate that the natives are talking like normal people and not in the broken English they use in so many westerns. Thanks for appreciating it. I was concerned that some might think I was being too editorial in my translations - though frankly I'd probably keep doing it anyway even if they did since I dislike that trope, too.

My Lovely Horse posted:Wait so is it that way in the original or is it the old trope? I was referring to the trope - as far as I can tell, the Swedish translation keeps the Apache's dialogue pretty much as Blueberry's and Graig's... though they do have the tiresome habit of using the terms 'Redskins' and 'Palefaces' (actually, on the latter term I did a bit of researching on what the Apaches of that region would have more likely used as a term referring to non-Apache people, hence the use of Indaaɫigáí - Wikipedia states it means 'people who are white-skinned', but I saw some other people on a Native American language board stating it more literally means 'white-eyed'). On that note - in today's Blueberry: Blueberry thinks on his feet... his horse's hooves? Anyway, or Graig, self-critique is an important part of anyone's health, but now is REALLY not the time, or Suddenly, Blueberry's in the mood for some spontaneous horticulture.
