Comics Seized by Canadian Border Officials from 2003–2010 Comics Seized by Canadian Border Officials from 2003–2010 The Canadian Border Services Agency is known for seizing materials depicting horror, violence, and sexuality, and their scrutiny of comics is on the rise. Any comic, graphic novel, or manga brought into Canada is subject to their searches, whether in print or on electronic devices such as a laptop, cell phone or tablet. Previously, the CBLDF issued an advisory (http://cbldf.org/resources/customs/advisory-crossing-international-borders/) for traveling safely with comic art across international borders. Now, we take a closer look at the situation at the US/Canadian Border. What follows is a list of comics, graphic novels, and manga that have drawn the attention of the Canadian Border Services Agency at the US/Canadian border from 2003 to 2010. Every comic on this list has been seized by the border patrol because it was found to be "suspicious." After review, if the comic is found to be permissible, the comic or the electronic device on which it is carried is eventually returned to its owner and added to the admissible list. Otherwise, the book is added to the prohibited list and banned from crossing the border. Regardless of its ultimate status as either admissible or prohibited, each of the following comics has been confiscated by Canadian Border Services agents and examined. There is no clear rubric that the Canadian Border Services Agency uses to determine what is prohibited and what is admissible. Some of the titles that have aroused the suspicions of the CBSA include Gundam H, Grendel, and even Sailor Moon. By looking at the list, it is clear that the decisions about your comics are at the discretion of individual border agents, and that those decisions are inconsistent at best. Take, for example, The XXXenophile Collection, a series of anthologies collecting the satirical series by Girl Genius creators Phil and Kaja Foglio. In late 2004, the Canadian Border Services Agency seized five volumes of The XXXenophile Collection. Volumes one, three, and five were prohibited. Volumes four and six were admitted. Regardless of CBSA's final decision on whether to admit or prohibit your comics, anything that looks "questionable" to a border agent will be seized for evaluation. Look at your bookshelf. Do any of your comics contain elements of horror, violence, or sexuality? If so, it's likely that they would be seized at the Canadian border. If found to be prohibited, possession of these comics could lead to you being charged with a crime, in the same way that one American has (http://cbldf.org/about-us/case-files/cbldf-case-files- canada-customs-case/).

  • Miko Mido Is Lady Blue - Volume 1
    Miko Mido is Lady Blue - Volume 1 Well then, i'll start off by conveying an old-fashioned La Blue Young lady event. This animated typically teeters in between excellent and very inadequate while using the infrequent awful continuity, super-hero plot of land gaps as well as over- all lazy specifics. All of this seemed to be overshadowed nevertheless by simply whatever else . a show needed to offer you: lengthy, useful or perfectly thought-out clips of eroticism promising range a occurrence (at times it's People on Human, sometimes its Enormous about Man, Tentacle on Our, Forms of martial arts Love- making, Bondage, Adult sex toys and Units... almost any lawful fetish). What's even better, Are generally Pink Woman has not been the sort of Hentai that put together it's violence featuring its sexuality, at least steer clear every single scene; in flashbacks and story/drama similar clips, there initially were relegations, but that was only if Kan Fukumoto arrived straight into primary. Usually it turned out great, exciting perversion in places you did not have to be concerned about young women bolstering when a hot man-beast received ahold of them. That may be another thing a regular Are generally Violet Young lady tv show presented: Entertaining. Miko Mido is often aloof plus a excellent eliminate expert, although the woman has been constantly met with crazy, comedy cases owing to your ex dwarf ninja partner Nin-Nin as well as her oversexed more mature aunt; regardless if Miko was met with danger as well as conserving the girl's mates out of lovemaking harm, Miko was your comedic figure.

  • Strategy and Style in English and French Translations of Japanese Comic Books
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 463 675 FL 027 239 AUTHOR Howell, Peter TITLE Strategy and Style in English and French Translations of Japanese Comic Books. PUB DATE 2001-00-00 NOTE 12p.; For complete journal issue, see FL 027 235. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Journal Articles (080) Reports Descriptive (141) JOURNAL CIT Edinburgh Working Papers in Applied Linguistics; n11 p59-66 2001 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Comics (Publications); Cultural Differences; *Cultural Influences; French; Japanese; *Translation ABSTRACT This article explores translation strategies in English and French versions of Japanese comic books, comparing English and French dialogue text regarding local color, atmospherics, and characterization. Section 1 describes Japanese comic books. Section 2 examines translation strategies. Sections 3 and 4 discuss local color and character locus (translation of culture-specific items and of non-standard dialect and foreigner talk). Section 5 discusses the translation of register (situations of language use) .Section 6 highlights comic book character role (the soldier, schoolgirl, and vamp) .Section 7 discusses atmospherics (jargonization) .Section 8 concludes that American translators used naturalizing strategies, both culturally (name changes and insertion of references to American culture) and linguistically (stereotypical use of dialects and use of heavily marked register). Strategies used in the French versions are less naturalizing than those used in the American versions. Culturally, they are more foreignizing in conserving names and culture-specific items. Linguistically, in some translations, transfers and calques from the English version are used, and as a result, the dialogue reads like a translation, but not from the Japanese original. Other French translations reveal linguistic neutralization with regard to dialect and register.

The Diffusion of Foreign Cultural Products: The Case Analysis of Japanese Comics (Manga) Market in the US Takeshi Matsui Hitotsubashi University/Princeton University Abstract This paper outlines the historical development of the US manga (Japanese comics) industry from the 1980s through the present in order to address the question why foreign cultural products become popular in offshore markets in spite of cultural difference. This paper focuses on local publishers as “gatekeepers” in the introduction of foreign culture. Using complete data on manga titles published in the US market from 1980 to 2006 (n=1,058), this paper shows what kinds of manga have been translated, published, and distributed for over twenty years and how the competition between the two market leaders, Viz and Tokyopop, created the rapid market growth.

  • LOCAS: the MAGGIE and HOPEY STORIES by Jaime Hernandez Study Guide Written by Art Baxter
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators STUDY GUIDE: LOCAS: THE MAGGIE AND HOPEY STORIES by Jaime Hernandez Study guide written by Art Baxter Introduction Comic books were in the midst of change by the early 1980s. The Marvel, DC and Archie lines were going through the same tired motions being produced by second and third generation artists and writers who grew up reading the same books they were now creating. Comic book specialty shops were growing in number and a new "non- returnable" distribution system had been created to supply them. This opened the door for publishers who had small print runs, with color covers and black and white interiors, to emerge with an alternative to corporate mainstream comics. These new comics were often a cross between the familiar genres of the mainstream and the personal artistic freedom of underground comics, but sometimes something altogether different would appear. In 1976, Harvey Pekar began self-publishing his annual autobiographical comics collection, American Splendor, with art by R. Crumb and others, from his home in Cleveland, Ohio. Other cartoonists self-published their mainstream- rejected comics, like Cerebus (Dave Sim, 1977) and Elfquest (Wendy & Richard Pini, 1978) to financial and critical success. With proto-graphic novel publisher, Eclipse, mainstream rebels produced explicit versions of their earlier work, such as Sabre (Don McGreggor & Paul Gulacy, 1978) and Stewart the Rat (Steve Gerber & Gene Colan, 1980). Underground comics evolved away from sex and drugs toward maturity in two anthologies, RAW (Art Spiegleman & Francoise Mouly, eds., 1980) and Weirdo (R. Crumb, ed., 1981). Under the Fantagraphics Books imprint, Gary Groth and Kim Thompson began to publish comics which aspired to an artistic quality that lived up to the high standard set forth in the pages of their critical magazine, The Comics Journal.
