Great to have you back!

I also never heard the term scanlation before, so here is what I could find out just now. Scanlation is well known in the manga community, meaning fans making translations using a scanner and the results getting distributed digitally, usually with permission of the artist. However, there seems to have developed a practice of not just translating but also modifying the content to a degree, just look at page 2 of the third link you posted: https://web.yongsai.net/comics/gaston-lagaffe/gaffes-and-gadgets/2

Ja, genau diese Ausgabe! Bis auf den ersten Teil, den ich leider mal jemand geliehen habe, ist sie vollständig :) Falls du Dune bisher nicht auf englisch gelesen hast, ich empfehle es dir, Herbert schreibt richtig gut und einiges davon ist bei der Übersetzung verloren gegangen.

Yeah! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harkonnen_Chair

I have the same edition!

Maybe he has relatives you could call, or maybe some of our users live near your place and might help? Otherwise, think about what is the most important and what you can realistically get done in time, focus on that and ignore the rest for now. Best wishes to both of you!

Shit, I am very sorry to hear that! How is Calvin now that he´s back at home? How are you doing yourself? Write me a private message anytime but first, take all the time you need to take good care of both of you.

Checking on EGN+ daily is part of my routine anyway, so moderation is ensured and I will keep going with the Dune posts so it wont get too boring here.

I’m truly, totally honored that you agreed to help with this sub-lemmy. You are like the wind in my sails, even if that’s a cheesy analogy, lol.

Oh stop it, I´m so embarrassed now giggles like a little girl.

Also, I thought I’d found something insightful below (the idea that possibly they were by Jodo himself), but it appears… not?

Good work, Detective Enzyme! Downplay your finding all you want, it´s in fact the best clue we have for now. I will post it here to save people who are interested a click:

No artist is credited but the naive style rules out both Moebius and HR Giger (who arrived late to the project in any case). Best bet is either Jodorowsky himself—in 1967 he was writing and illustrating a comic strip, Fabulas Panicas—or Jodorowsky’s colleague from the Panic Movement days, Roland Topor. In the early 70s Topor was working with René Laloux on the animated SF film Fantastic Planet.

I like how the artists works with black and white surfaces and I really dig the Brazil (Terry Gilliam, 1985) vibes, on the other hand I don´t appreciate the meta level introduced by the letter, it´s kills the immersion imo.

Yes! Magically weird and probably closer to The Incal than to Lynch´s and even Herbert´s Dude if you ask me.

Jodo really tried to get only the best of the best. I mean, Giger, Foss AND Moebius? Then he hired Pink Floyd for the soundtrack and Salvador Dali ,who asked for 100.000 $ per hour, to play the Emperor. I still can´t decide if Jodo was being more ingenious or more insane :D Well, ingenuity and insanity are known to often overlap a bit ...

Orange Catholic Bible: Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.

Leto: Never! But I can use their heads to cruise around like a boss!

is it Moeby, or other artist?

Looking at the style, I´m sure that design is by Chriss Foss, who also did all those impressive starships for the project. As we know the designs for Dune were done by Foss, Giger and Giraud. However, I noticed a forth (less professional looking) style that does not really fit any of the three and I wonder who made them.

Oh no! The cute drawing style did not at all prepare me for that bloody plot twist! 0_0
