“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!
* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

(I LOVE this blog)
I've absolutely no idea what a 'scanlation' means, so I guess that's a wash! (top link)
Yeah, baby! (all those snipped Tintin panels) [link]
"Nobody likes Gaston?!?" (whaaaat?)
GAS-lighting! With dear ol' Captain Kirk! https://sundaycomicsdebt.blogspot.com/2017/01/requested-adaptations-asterix-gaslighter.html
In clumsily colluding, I guess... eh, well, what was the question again??
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
Haha, that was a bit of a wacky post above. Yesterday I finished off a *huge* job on Calvin's apartment, treated myself to some of his fine booze, and spirited *up*, I decided to make a post here on a really cool blog I'd discovered, above.
Oh, my head...
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.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm fully "back" yet, but we'll see. I really appreciate your focus on Jodo's Dune series lately, and in any case, there's a HUGE archive of posts here for anyone wanting more EGN+ content! :D
I liked it!
I am happy you made it on time, well done!
lol
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.
No pressure mate, take your time.
Thank you, happy that you like it!
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
