Lojban Web Comic
I've started translating the insidiously cynical and online web comic Perry Bible Fellowship into Lojban. This is one of those web comics which is cute and cruel at the same time. Below the cut are several samples.
deception type of head
Expression of blame. Rhetorical question: true or false: (you know (the fact (how much is the price of (funny-type-of-person) school)))?
Release of emotion: desire! The speaker can (but has not-- undemonstrated potential) sell the speaker's spirit for the price: dog.
Oh father. Please look under my bed at one or more evil fairies (or elves, sprites, kobolds, imps, orcs, or devils). Don't be nervous. Go to sleep.

I love PBF! It's absolutely hilarious (most of the time), and the only webcomic that I read. Gurewitch is brilliant.
Here are two of my favorites:

It appears that you speak Lojban as well!
Please help me complete this project by translating some more of the comics. I will then replace the text in the comic strips. OK?
