Cartoon Strips From Around The World Brought To You By Wireless Internet

Americans may think that there's nothing left in the world of cartoon strips and comic books beyond their borders, but the truth is that there's plenty to be seen on the international comics scene. Though perhaps not as well developed as the comic strips of the US, cartoonists worldwide have discovered the benefits of the format and have put it to their own use effectively. And for people within the states, branching out to foreign strips is a great way to get a feel for foreign countries without spending so much on airfare, since they can all usually be accessed easily with wireless internet. Here are a few of the more popular cartoons to choose from.
From the artistic center (Paris) of an already incredibly artistic continent (Europe) comes a cartoon that pokes fun at often stodgy history of the Romans who reigned supreme over the continent so many centuries ago. Asterix, a goofy Gaulic villager, takes a dose of superhero potion to be able to hold off invasions by well organized Roman legions. Working with his fellow villager Obelix, his many adventures take him throughout the region of Gaul (modern France) on a quest to keep his village from being overrun. Even after being translated into English, it still retains its distinctive Frankish charms, and does a better job of being sophisticated while still quite funny in a way that most English language stirps fail to deliver on. Many of the drawings from the series can be found online via wireless internet, and you can also look up full editions for purchase.
From the far away southern hemisphere comes Mafalda, a strip that chronicles the life of the young girl Mafalda, her parents, and her adventures at school. Much like a certain stuffed tiger carrying colleague of hers, Mafalda's style seems deceptively simple at first, but soon her parents and friends find themselves deeply entwined in heavy conversations about the Cold War, Vietnam, as well as the issues faced domestically within Mafalda's native Argentina at the time of the comic's writing, the 1960s. The strip attained huge popularity not only within Argentina but within the rest of the Spanish speaking world, and it remains well known today. Cartoons as well as full collections can be found online with 4G wireless internet.
Our tour of the globe wouldn't be complete without branching outside of the western sphere of influence entirely, and to do so we turn to Japan and its ubiquitous "manga" comic books. There are plenty of books which are done in the style of Manga, and it's difficult to identify one single manga comic book that has significantly more notoriety than the others. But all mangas exemplify many common artistic styles as well as narrative themes. Some play off of Japan's perceived predominance as a martial arts center, whereas others graft western "noir" styles effectively onto modern Japan. For more on manga, run a search on wireless internet.
