Assuming we need one (and I think we do) I started thinking about what other languages do (AFAIK): Italian: Fumetti (that literally means "little smokes" referring to the balloons with the words in) English: Comics (referring to the comical subject of the first comics) Japanese: Manga ("whimsical pictures" probably referring to the subject of the first picture books) French: Bande Desinee ("drawn strips" for the fist format that was used for comics) Unfortunately I don't know about other languages. For Lojban, the best I could come with is based on the fact that comics are images that talk so it could be {tavla zei pixra} {tavyxra}. A comic book would be a {tavyxracku} ? Has anyone else found a better word? remo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group. To post to this group, send email to lojban@googlegroups.com.
