A new year to us all, how wonderful! And what better way to break in a new thread than with a new adventure of Blueberry! I am translating this story not from the original French, but from Swedish (I am living there now, and want to get my knowledge up) and, while I try to keep my translation as close to the original as possible, there are times where I change it, either for the sake of certain things being... inappropriate, the occasional joke, or for other reasons, but I typically draw attention to them when it comes up. Now, as you may all remember, when we last saw our hero he was... repeatedly gunned down in an alleyway and left for dead. ... Well! I'm sure that won't put a hamper on anything, so let's see how the newest adventure, A Shadow over Tombstone starts! Let's see... Stop the press!, or Professional discourtesy coming in from all directions for the Tombstone law officials, or Truly we see the worst crimes of the Cowboys gang - cultural appropriation    And, as I am sure I have pointed out earlier, but it bears repeating in the new thread, some of these scans are a little crude... to which I say, good! If you are at all intrigued by this, I suggest you look into purchasing this from the publishers; you'll get high-quality pictures instead of my crude reproductions and in colour, too!

Some Guy TT posted:Eh, if anything I'd say this comic is being way too positive about Americas social, political, and moral state in the late 1800s if this big fancy Bostonian writer is acting flabbergasted at the notion of lynch mobs. I think it's more the case that an elected official would demand a capital punishment for a non-capital punishment crime in Campbell's case. But it is true that Campbell is quite the foppish dandy; and, on that note, in today's Blueberry: Blueberry neglects to read the fine print, or Virgil has a terrible bed-side manner, or Doc waxes philosophically

Stultus Maximus posted:I love Tauhid and his work but I think he needs to stop using one of the most well known strips of all time as direct inspiration. Eh - there have been many snowman comics from C&H, I certainly wouldn't describe that as 'one of the best known strips of all time'. I think that Crabgrass is fine.

SuperKlaus posted:^part of what makes Footrot Flats an A-rank comic to me is the absolutely honest, no-punches-pulled approach to farming life In the PYF comics thread, there was a manga called 'The Noble Peasant' which detailed the life of a person who grew up on a Japanese farm.

God, I love this thread sometimes. Also, glad you're enjoying Blueberry, Cowslips.

NVTrainee posted:So, what's the thread consensus on Prince Valiant lately? I remember many threads ago that it was more negative, but it could've been different people talking about it opposed to now. Compared to other comic strips, the art is gorgeous and I love the weekly story updates. It's a bit old-fashioned, but on the whole it's good, and the art is astounding.
