Re: [lojban] A comics: "lojbo ckule"

  Just to completely derail this topic, I was actually IN that play, as Don  http://www.jewishtheatreworkshop.org/photos/aitt5.jpg  My director and stage manager were amazed at how fast I was able to memorized the lines of basically complete nonsense.  I told them that I already am fluent in a real constructed language, lojban, so it was easy. :-)

As much as possible, yes. Since it's meant for people who have little to no Lojban knowledge, it either can't be, our would extremely difficult to,  put in entirely, exclusively,  Lojban.

Not quite disagreeing, but I'm reminded of "The Universal Language", a play by David Ives, where approximately half the action takes place in a constructed (mostly nonsense) language that the audience did not know before the show.

That said, the more of it that is in Lojban, the better. Most foreign language teachers in my experience establish a "only this language is allowed in this class" rule. The comic's class should have that rule as soon as the characters are able to say a complete bridie. Even one as simple as {mi pendo}.

There are two reasons for this. One, the more Lojban readers (and characters) are exposed to the language the more quickly and easily they will acquire it. You do need to be careful not to do anything too complex, however. Two, the less non-Lojban in the comic, the Leeds translating work needs to done for non-English nintadni.

My suggestion is to also publish the comic in lojban.
