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

Mämmilä Holkeri's government, blue-red government: in late 1988 the government was led by the Social-Democratic Party (red) and the center-right National Alliance (blue) with Harri Holkeri (Alliance) as it's prime minister. As the two biggest parties supported by the Finnish Rural Party (who later left) and Swedish People's Party, the opposition was practically powerless. There has also been talk of structural change or the government's "controlled restructuring", which was an attempt to modernize Finnish economy. While partially successful it was not all that controlled and with the collapse of Soviet Union ultimately led to the terrible economic depression of 1990's.

There's a terrible "Silence of the Lambs" joke in here somewhere, but I'll settle for "Bruno, what the hell are you thinking?" On the other hand Rudy doesn't know Corrie's a living sheep, so there's not much call to get angry about Rudy here. But it's so bizarre that the outrage is "Bruno doesn't think I look pretty enough" and not "Bruno wants me to wear a dead sheep." maltesh fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Jan 30, 2021 |

If memory serves, I recall seeing this on kiosks all over Switzerland in the early 70s. I was still in the early learning phases of German (I was 8) so it was disappointing not to be able to understand what was happening. Looked exciting, though.

FrumpleOrz posted:Kevin & Kell I'm still so annoyed by this. The tree is sentient, why didn't it say anything about this beforehand? 'lol relax ppl, just droppin' a branch, it happens sometimes, it's like [REFERENCE TO SPECIES CHARACTERISTICS]!' The tree is so huge and solid that the family can live inside it without issue, in comparison that branch is fairly small, and won't really do anything except smash anything it landed on? Judging by the distance, it's not like it would gently caress up their neighbors house either. I don't know why any of this is such a big deal. PS: also gently caress family circus for having a masked edit of them being in a church. 'tee hee mass congregations are totally fine because we have masks on!' No, gently caress off, stay at home, you can go to church again once this is over. Religious/church events are constant and consistent superspreader events.
