Hi all !

As more and more of what we’ve got in store is about to be released online, I re-designed some parts of this portal. The main addition is the “Strip posts”.
Each time a member of BabelComics posts a new translated strip on his own site, a post is automatically generated here on Babel, to give you another chance to go read it as soon as it becomes available. These posts only consist of a lowres screen capture of the strip, linking directly to the original sites. You won’t read it here, but you’re always one click away from your updated strips !

Of course, you can use the RSS feed (top menu) to be informed of each update, but for those of you who don’t like using them, you now have an alternative : come back here every day. As things get rolling on Babel, there should even be more than one update a day.

This was Cathbad, radio Babel.

I’ve just finished listening to my Moon Town rendez vous tonight, and wow, this episode was especially sweet to our ears, my precious

Not only because Steve Ogden probably has the most sexiest voice in all Maryland’s wine country (says my wife), not only because  Steve speaks of characters as you always wished your literature teachers would (but seldom did), not only because of the excellent music by Tim Larkin in the background, but… because he speaks of us !

Steve gives us a good five minutes of praises, for Mirlikovir’s work on Oghme Comics and mine on Babel, and let’s indulge into some auto-satisfaction here for a minute, that sure feels good. Thank you Steve.

We’re making progress in our translation of our members’ archives, and as you might probably have already noticed, there already are ten Moon Town (Luna Ville) episodes available in French on Steve Ogden’s Blog. Steve has written some very nice words about his introduction into the French subculture, and even speaks some French in the comments.

“Here are the first ten Moon Town strips in French! My good friends over at Oghme Comics have done a bang-up job translating these (…)”

Go check it out !

And thanks for your support to BabelComics promotion Steve, you rock

We also did some ‘test drive’ with David Reddick on Legend of Bill (Légende de Bill), and he too wrote some awesome introduction. You can reach the samples here :

“The fine folks at Oghme Comics have done it again!(…)”

“A big hand to Oghme Comics for putting the currect LoB into French! Thanks, guys!!(…)”

Much more to come soon and thank you, David !

Last but nor least, we’re working with Hai on the first 30 pages or so of his excellent By Moon Alone (Par la Lune). We’re honing our practice on the fly, and this collaborative work is getting more and more exciting, as I’m allowed to dwelve into the story to the deepest level.

Check this blog soon for some update.

See you all,

Cathbad
