As someone who long read Scott McCloud’s comic theory books, I always wondered how you would make news comics. News manga does seem rather interesting in this regard., some seem to have data dumps in them, others are tightly clustered collages of ideas. It seems very interesting.

I’ve been a fan of this site for a long time – and if you’ve ever tried sifting through a Japanese newspaper… well.. it’s a bit of a chore until you acquire a lot of specialized vocabulary. The manga shinbun makes current events a lot more accessible (and fun!) to non-technical readers.

I used to read the English version of Mainichi Shimbun online. They had a crazy translator who turned every story into a series of raunchy jokes. Sadly, they fired him/her, apologized for about three months and became excruciatingly dull.

*weep* My army of translate-bots choke on manga. I has a sad.

I remember reading about something similar in Fahrenheit 451.
