Hi Newspaper comics thread! I've been lurking in this thread for a while and posting over in the webcomics thread, and thought I might share the love a bit / get the word out about a comic we've been enjoying over there. For the past 6 months or so I've been translating a Japanese web / print comic by a guy named Maruoka Kuzo called Uramachi Sakaba - it translates to something like "Backstreet Pub" but I couldn't think of a way to translate that that didn't sound kind of dumb so I've left just the title in Japanese. People have described it as "Cyberpunk Cheers" and that's about as perfect a description as you could get, really. Here's the first chapter:     (I'm lazy about translating sound effects and non-plot-critical signage, but I did at least switch to a more-readable font before too very long.) I've also translated a lot of stuff by Q-Rais of Nekonoughey fame - most of the run of Chako, as well as a couple of longer-form narrative comics he's done / is doing recently, and if people over here are interested I could share those as well.

At some point one of his dudes should have escaped with Aleta. Yeah he'd be a traitor, but maybe Val would have given him a quick death instead of this. The crew should kill the captain, then make Aleta captain, because she has more stones than he does.

Like I said, I got permanent hearing loss from hearing one 122mm gun go off a couple dozen meters away. Standing in a continuously firing battery for weeks on end has to be absolutely brutal for your hearing. And hell, your overall health.

Powered Descent posted:The Family Circus Stuff like this always baffles me, schools doing things that make no sense like this. If a school lets off early because of an emergency does little Billy just show up unannounced at the front door? Aren't calls made and texts sent and busses notified? It's like how in a lot of movies and TV shows and comic strips kids are getting the big summer project. What school does that? Nobody wants to deal with a project that takes all summer. Or when summer ends they go back to the same classroom with the same teacher. Presumably these kids moved up on to the next grade? Did schools really work this way when these boomer rear end writers were kids? Calaveron fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Sep 16, 2021 |

I, a millineal, have definitely been let out of school for various reasons to my parent's surprise a few times between elementary & high school. Project wise it was mostly summer reading with a book report, though.

Gen-X reporting in: in grade school we'd get book reports or a journaling project that most of the students either didn't finish or obviously only started on the week before school restarted. The same teacher thing is just a gag about how tv shows and comics have limited casts and the kids usually never age. There was a fourth wall gag years ago in Sally Forth where the kids realized that they had just moved up a grade and didn't know how to handle escaping the time loop.

I'm really happy the thread is getting more Q-Rais, but is there a chance for some reposts of World's Saddest Bear from anyone? I love Nekonaughey, but geez, that sad bear may be one of the funniest strips I've ever seen in my life. Breaking Cat News  Phoebe and Her Unicorn  Wallace the Brave  Curtis would have some words to say to Jordan Peterson...

Another Gen-Xer here: I cannot remember ever having any schoolwork over summer. Although I was a huge dork ("what do you mean, 'was'?") so I usually participated in the library's summer reading club anyway.

Another Gen-X report: no summer projects were assigned to us, ever. Not even once. And this was in Phoenix, where presumably the Keanes also got educated, so I'd say Jeff's just rolling with the old comics trope rather than drawing on personal experience.
