Nemi and a kid are looking at a photo album, and the kid's like: "Why do people always look cranky in old photographs?" and Nemi's like: "Because they never got to listen to Motorhead."

Do you know of any sources to check out Nemi in English? The official site seems offline, I think.

I discovered Nemi earlier this year through a meme. I really like the humor. I guess it is my second favourite (chronologically) comic strip.

From what I looked up in recent years, I don't think the author's ever made the comics digital, English releases are scarce, few people over in Norway sell these comics to buyers abroad, and nowadays' mostly the Christmas specials that the author makes.

However, I also found a public contact email from the author while I searched, so maybe people could request for more official translations, or at least either a digital release or reprints of old comics.

I appreciate the comment. I looked briefly and found some archive translations, but I would rather keep looking for something more official.

Nemi hasn't really gotten a fair shake in the US. I bet if you picked the "best of" over the years and made a good translation of the strips, you'd have a winner.

if you go to nemi.no it forwards you to an official Facebook page with several strips on it. there's a link there to https://www.gyldendal.no/skjonnlitteratur/tegneserier/serier/nemi which I believe is the Norwegian publisher. if you navigate here: https://www.gyldendal.no/forfattere/lise-myhre you can see a bunch of recent collections. If you look here: https://www.ark.no/bokserier/nemi-200507...

Thanks! Great resources. I also fou d this little helpful page with a bit of background history and a few representative strips:

if you just want an unofficial collection of strips someone put a bunch on https://archive.org/details/nemi-strips/

I did a couple fan edits just for educational purposes, let's see.... try this: https://lemmy.world/search?q=nemi+fan+edit&type=Posts&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true
