If there's maybe trouble and you don't know what kind, why not bring another guy along who wants to help, just in case? Because he's a "bad" character?

I mean, he is bringing him along, Ox is just snapping at him because they're wound up. Goddamit but this is a pretty good Luann.

There’s also Self-Propelled Public Bath, a quick one-shot by the same guy who does Uramachi Sakaba, which I haven’t shared in this thread because it has an awful lot of boobs in it, but it’s good fun and this is the cover image, so if you think that looks neat give it a gander:


The concept alone is cool, excessive boobage might put it over the line for this thread... I dunno. I wouldn't object, but I would yield to anyone who would for NSFW reasons since browsing comic strips at work seems popular.

Please welcome to the Depression-era American socialist discourse the legendary Detective Comics, which launched with a cover date of March 1937, wrapped in a "yellow peril" cover, which was a good reflection of the title's pulpy pre-Batman story content. The comrade kids were ratting out Creig Flessel's Speed Saunders, illustrated with a panel from issue #3.


Makes me wonder if this feature's going to last long enough that we're going to get the party's take on a millionaire vigilante with a bat fetish.

Well, just to give the thread an idea, here's the first (and most boobalicious) chapter as we'd have to see it in this thread:

Self-Propelled Public Bath










(Which is actually a lot less spoiler-blocked than I thought it'd have to be.)

There're three more chapters: two is pretty safe, three has boobs, silhouetted erect monkey penises and a non-graphic but on-screen sex scene (not involving the monkeys, don't worry), and four is almost completely safe. :shrug: If that seems reasonable to the thread at large I can tack a page or two at a time on to the next few of my updates, if it's too much black space it's no skin off my back. :)

Edit: I couldn't really tell you why, but "this kinda thing happens to us a lot" is one of my favorite panels I've ever translated.

Because he saw it in a thing once where it was funny and so it must be funny if he also references it. Cargo cult comedy.

Thanks for making all this stuff available, all the work you're doing to translate it and get it hosted is appreciated. :) I vote for posting Public Bath, although it's up to you and I'm fine with whatever the thread consensus is.

Shugojin posted:

it's not even particularly nonsensical there, there's the surrealism of "piano in woods, oh she's eating it, oh it tastes bad" but that's dreamlike

then it goes back into a logical thing of "pianist chases her off for eating his piano, then is curious about her eating it and tries it himself, and goes oh gross that DOES taste bad"

all communicated through posing mostly :hmmyes: it's a good strip

Dreamlike is a good word for it, yeah. It's bizarre but also internally consistant in its own way.

I second posting Bombin' Tiddies Bathhouse with generous spoilers.

Jucika "514 - Jucika, As A Stylish Stewardess" NSFW Nudity


"515 - Jucika And The Melon Market"


Yup, we're at that time again. This is the last Jucika strip, likely finished by the Lúdas Matyi magazine staff when Pusztai passed suddenly. "The editorial staff of this magazine informs with pain in our hearts that Pál Pusztai, cartoonist, died of heart failure on September 10th in Dubronik, Yugoslavia, at the age of 51." I'm curious what the rest of you think I should do here. Start from strip 1 and just cycle Jucika into our daily lives until I get bored of it or otherwise move on? Wait a bit and resume? Start again in the new year? I suppose for now I'll wait a week and then cycle it again.

As much as I'd be sad seeing it go, I am ok with it being out of circulation - at least until next year. I can understand dropping it, tho. I mean, I did that re. Corto Maltese.

And also, without giving too much of the game away, I'd be a rank hypocrite to vote against the bathhouse strip. Just so long as it is spoilered (maybe timg'd as well?)
