Re: names JP vs. name Eng. for Jeffbert's book

That's cool! I knew there were a bunch of horse puns related to Tenma but I couldn't remember the details. There's a panel in Fortress of the Centaurs (Dark Horse #14 p186) where Astro discovers Nuu comes from the Pegasus constellation, and mentions that Tenma is a "horse heaven". I feel l...

Re: names JP vs. name Eng. for Jeffbert's book

I think it's gonna be exceptions all the way down. I had a dig through some of the main character translations. Ochanomizu (お茶の水) translates to Tea's Water, but he's never called Dr Tea Water in English. It'd be a bit silly, and that's fine sometimes in Tezuka's work, but it doesn't make a lot of se...

Astro Boy schematics, as drawn by AI

Re: Yet another new year.......

I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I lost a friend to ALS in May. I've seen people die of heart attacks, dementia, and cancer, but there's something different about ALS that simultaneously requires of us and evokes incredible bravery. I'm getting choked up so I'll stop there. I write on and off but ...

Re: All about the Mighty Atom Club Magazines (1964-66)

Apparently they were being sold as early as 1946.
