[lojban] comics

[Remo Dentato <rdentato@gmail.com>]

I couldn't find a word for "comics" in the jbovlaste.

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?
