Nerd Boy two days in a row! Cool. Anyway, this strip took a long
time to do, maybe because I'm tired from my trip across Sweden,
or maybe just because it's hard to fit jokes into a plot. Stupid
story arcs, I should know better by now. How does ScaryGoRound do
it?
I like how the evil cloak guy's cloak settles down in the last
frame, kind of hesitantly and maybe even a bit disappointedly.

It seems to me like French is the language that Nerd Boy should have been written in! Everything seems much funnier! I was actually laughing out loud several times as I read that! :D Anyway, I immediately posted some news about it on the website, but I have to add something more permanent, like a French flag in the upper left corner or something. > ObASCII > Doomoo aligatoo gozaimasu, > OO , Gandara sensei. > .//. > || Douitashimashite.

However, bug has done such wonderful work with this, and his translations have sparked discussions on pl.rec.ascii-art. So you should really do a search on Google Groups to take a look at the sheer volume of work he's done. If you know Polish, enjoy!" So, Joaquim, you should take a look on this site http://republika.pl/strefa_robacza/ there are 171 episodes of Nerdboy in Polish. :) Unfortunetly bug moved up to London, and don't have internet connection so he isn't able to make new translations. I'll talk to anya_g (half of Nerdboy translations) maybe she will continue it.

I took a look at http://asciipr0n.com/bug but didn't find anything. Did he move his website? And.. where are episodes 1-89? I think I'll have to download all the translations from Google Group some day and simply put them on www.nerd-boy.net. > Unfortunetly bug moved up to London, and don't have internet connection > so he isn't able to make new translations.

Unfortunately I can't speak a word of Polish (except "Hej", which is the same in Swedish), so I can't enjoy them the same way as the French translations. However, I'm really flattered that people would go to all that trouble translating Nerd Boy. Also, I find it kind of interesting that Nerd Boy seems to be such a European phenomenon. Is that simply because ASCII in general doesn't have a major following in the US or Asia? Who knows. -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg

Is that simply because ASCII in general doesn't > have a major following in the US or Asia? Who knows. It will be nice if other Japanese (Read Only Members or good to speak/write) can reply this question...... Feel sorry if I miss-read your Q. First of all, main stream is anci-ascii code art in Japan. Very strange phenomenon but Japanese calls anci-ascii code art as AA( ascii art ). Maybe some of you had watched Japanese AA somewhere else. As you know, anci-ascii code includes various character (font). So people's way to express will expand more than using only ascii-code. That's so sad but true. The share of real ascii-art is very small, because AA(anci-ascii-art) is so popular in Japan. If your PC can read Japanese font and Greek font, please search google and take a look to Japanese AA site. ------ [OT] MONAA("monaa" in Japanese) We Japanese have very popular and famous AA character. It's name is "MONAA". MONAA had made AA so popular in Japan, they said. Most people recognized the cradle of MONAA was 2 channel. ( 2 channel is very famous bulletin board site in Japan ) But true cradle of MONAA is "strange world", some claimed. ("strange world "is another famous bulletin board site ) I think "strange world" is the true cradle of MONAA. What I want to mention is that most Japanese don't mind who made AA drawing. You can notice they never signature their AA, even never get permission to copy and paste other's drawing. This is totally my opinion. If Nerd Boy will translated in Japanese and uploaded in Japanese site, maybe you'll be shocked that your drawing will be copied and pasted, even diddled rudely with no permission. Some probability exists. But if it once happened, you'll never advertise yourself, people will do by themselves while their passion will continue. That is Japanese way to love their favorite characters. ;-) As you know, there are much money making opportunity in Japan. Especially we pay much money to the character goods like Kitty, Disney,etc. Maybe exciting and little bit rude than Europe. ......How are other Asian and U.S.? ------- kirara http://bbs2.otd.co.jp/283399/bbs_plain
