Eastern Europe Digs Khmer Comics

Eastern Europe digs Khmer Comics Eastern Europe likes Khmer comics At least, I think it's an Eastern European Language. Maybe it's from 'Cornucopia'. (Clarifications, anyone? The whole office is stumped.) Every now and then I get a heap of hits on the Khmer comics page - earlier this year it was Japan, last year, Spanish language sites. In a country where reading isn't a favored lesiure activity, illustrated stories are a good starting point. You can find comics at just about any newsstand in Phnom Penh. Most are reprints, decades old. Readers' advisory: persuse with caution. High degree of unintentional kitsch. http://del.icio.us/slugdog/khmercomics Tags: ,

Pretty far eastern European -- it is, in fact, Turkish.

It's been 37 years since I spoke Turkish, but I can still translate the headline, which reads "Cambodian Comic Book Cover".  

Dude, serious language props.
So that's why 'Constantinople got the works'.
