	Damn, I'd forgotten how great that story was, thank for reminding me. I can spend hours in an ordinary bookshop, ANY ordinary bookshop... they'd NEVER get me out of that place... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, me too, especially with second hand books where it's almost always a labyrinthine little shop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's one in my town where the books are piled so deep you can't even see the shelves. Half the books may be inaccessible, but I still managed to find a Bradbury first edition first time I went in there. Great comic, anyway. I loved the bit about 'except one' being just incase he can't find i. Beautiful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it is, then I can say that the world needs more translators like uh, her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you! I wanted to be a translator before I swerved into art, albeit in German and Portuguese, not English. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	whatistriestine 2009-03-17 02:47 am UTC (link)
	It is, yes. I'd love to see Q Mag regularly translated and available outside of ex-Yu, but sadly that's too much to ask. :/ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluefall 2009-03-17 11:36 am UTC (link)
	In that case, I salute your efforts even more. That's a lot of work to go to for lil' old us. It's much appreciated. ^_^ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's no problem at all; this is the most welcoming English-language comics forum that I know of for this kind of material. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That's why I love those little from-life stories, even if they have a magical dimension to them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	When you talked about this after the Great Disaster, I googled it. It seems to have spread quite a bit! Was there any more to this story? (Reply to this) (Thread)

No, this is all. The majority of comics published in Q Mag are short stories like these; of those that aren't one-offs I think one is serialised because it's too long to publish at once (but no more than 60-70 pages in total) and another is a series of adventures of an avian police station which is hilarious and which I'll have to promote here at some point. There's nothing like a cranky blackbird cop.

	Thanks for posting this. It's a gorgeous story, and the last panel on page 4 is simply magical! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: thank you! whatistriestine 2009-03-17 02:55 am UTC (link)
	Any time! I wish I could translate the reception of this story into getting Q Mag distributed in English-speaking countries, but I doubt they'll ever meet in great numbers. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thanks for reposting this! It's a very charming little story. I can picture myself longing to read Verne again when I get older, as it were also some of the first books I read. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	On a number of levels. 1. Childhood regrets. 2. My mother giving me books and reading to me. 3. The sadness and sweetness. 4. So beautiful. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Oh God, this one gets me everytime. whatistriestine 2009-03-18 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	Agreed; I got into Verne and Lindgren and so on through my parents even more than through the school library and required reading. (Reply to this) (Parent)
