BerlinCartoon-27 (Page 8)I am now in the U.S. almost a year and this comic blog here is online since april. Though my most efforts of the last weeks were going into the comics on this blog I was still publishing on my german toon blog ‘Wo Willst Du Hin???‘ and on the cartoon portal Toonpool. I am very proud that these efforts now were appreciated by the toonpool crew by publishing three of my strips in a whole page feature in the berlin newspaper ‘Berliner Kurier’. It is a quite large newspaper and – as not common in germany – they feature every sunday a big comic supplement. It means because of that very much to me beeing published with a whole page in one of the nations only comic supplements. Thanks again to the toonpool crew! (By the way: Toonpool is an international cartoon and comic portal where you will find comics and cartoons from authors all over the world, such as ‘exotic’ cartoon nations like Saudi Arabia, China or the French Southern Territories and the Polar Regions. So if you like comics, cartoons and caricatures and if you dont mind taking a look beyond your own nose – go there and you will find every day dozens of new publishings from all over the world and Germany. Most of the international toons are in english and some of the native ones come with translations via a translation tool. The whole thing is a big community as well with a scoring system and the possibility to make friends, found theme groups and communicate. It is a one-of-a-kind and a must-go I would think).

I know that updating with new pages of ‘Droopy’ lacked a little bit in the last days since I had very much things going on privatly and I was a little bit discouraged proceeding here. But in the end I know that out there nobody cares whatever my personal reasons are and the only thing what’s counting is to keep my story telling. I hope I will find the time in the next days to update the story with new pages. I am just glad that I don’t make an ‘updates every weekday’-blog and I hope you will follow the story despite of that. Meanwhile you could try to translate the comic feature ;) – Just click on it to enlarge!

Heiteres Berufe-Raten.

My original intent was to promote the new Loriot channel at youtube, but it doesn’t work outside germany unfortunatly. Damn b…

When To Use Du Or Sie

Clever Dale Askey produced a flow chart about the problem when to use Du oder Sie (the second person formal and informal) in german conversations.

Oh, America, I Love You (Yet I Still Don’t Know What Style Studs is, Too)

Back then, when I lived in Germany, I loved to watch all those silly QVC or HOT (Home Order Television) shows late at night. The later the better. They got stranger the later in the night it was. Porcelaine puppets, digi-cam-laptop bundles, stupid beads and trinkets or cellphone contracts wich you would pay for long after you’d be dead.

But — as it strikes me so often — America does better. This is a show from a public access cable show from Oklahoma in the nineties wich just sells crap. It’s called Bargain Barn. And it’s real crap. But the guy sells this crap with the same dedication as if he’s selling pure and shiny gold. Love it or leave it. Allrighty?!! Good to go.

((thank you boingboing))
