I really like the Pratt and Moebius panels! Is the Pratt panel from Corto Maltese? I agree, don´t think there is the one Arzach, the guy seems to exist in a lot of timelines/universes. As always reading your commentary on the images was a pleasure.

I´m sorry to hear that and hope he will pay on time. Maybe he has mental issues that keep him from doing it?
I enjoyed reading it, appreciated the weird humor and the ugliness.

Did you just imply the existence of ... thinking machines?!?!
Haha, that was a bit of a wacky post above.
I liked it!
Yesterday I finished off a huge job on Calvin’s apartment
I am happy you made it on time, well done!
treated myself to some of his fine booze Oh, my head…
lol
Anyway, yeah, I think you have the spirit of scanlation. Other definitions you’ll find online. It’s a bit of a touchy subject, as we don’t want to take away proper royalties to the creators, you know? Part of why we say ‘extracts are fine, but no pirated links!’ in the sidebar.
Im am undecided in the matter, I want artists to get every penny they deserve for their work. On the other hand, I think most people who pirate graphic novels do it because otherwise they simply could not afford reading them. At the same time people who can afford buying graphic novels will often pirate and then buy the stuff they like, so pirating can even increase sales.
Anyway, I’m not sure if I’m fully “back” yet, but we’ll see.
No pressure mate, take your time.
I really appreciate your focus on Jodo’s Dune series lately
Thank you, happy that you like it!
and in any case, there’s a HUGE archive of posts here for anyone wanting more EGN+ content! :D
Exactly! Just think of our first few months streak for example. I think I have to go back sometime and look at all those cool posts! :D
Das erste Buch ist ausreichend, mehr geht immer wenn du dann möchtest :)
Great to have you back!
I also never heard the term scanlation before, so here is what I could find out just now. Scanlation is well known in the manga community, meaning fans making translations using a scanner and the results getting distributed digitally, usually with permission of the artist. However, there seems to have developed a practice of not just translating but also modifying the content to a degree, just look at page 2 of the third link you posted: https://web.yongsai.net/comics/gaston-lagaffe/gaffes-and-gadgets/2
Ja, genau diese Ausgabe! Bis auf den ersten Teil, den ich leider mal jemand geliehen habe, ist sie vollständig :) Falls du Dune bisher nicht auf englisch gelesen hast, ich empfehle es dir, Herbert schreibt richtig gut und einiges davon ist bei der Übersetzung verloren gegangen.
I have the same edition!
Maybe he has relatives you could call, or maybe some of our users live near your place and might help? Otherwise, think about what is the most important and what you can realistically get done in time, focus on that and ignore the rest for now. Best wishes to both of you!
Shit, I am very sorry to hear that! How is Calvin now that he´s back at home? How are you doing yourself? Write me a private message anytime but first, take all the time you need to take good care of both of you.
Checking on EGN+ daily is part of my routine anyway, so moderation is ensured and I will keep going with the Dune posts so it wont get too boring here.
I’m truly, totally honored that you agreed to help with this sub-lemmy. You are like the wind in my sails, even if that’s a cheesy analogy, lol.
Oh stop it, I´m so embarrassed now giggles like a little girl.

Absolutely, I reread Dune every few years and Frank Herberts´s style and ideas impress me every time again.
I was never really interested in SW but I have been watching ST from an early age. ST ist the perfect stuff to run when I just want to chill, it almost became a kind of screensaver for me.
