Scanspam Week: Linkspam Interruption

You can now read Amar Chitra Katha comics online. They're available in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu and Kannada. As of yesterday the website was also advertising English comics available in the online reader, but it doesn't look like there are any (yet). You have to pay for each issue, which grants you thirty days of access, and it doesn't appear that there's any offer of permanent downloads. Hmmm, I don't think that model worked very well for other websites, but we'll see. And anyway the Story of the Week is free! Oh and they're planning to launch an online encyclopedia of Indian culture. That seems interesting.

And hey, Saumin Patel has a blog!!!! Check out these two posts from an upcoming animated movie that's apparently tied to Virgin Animation... And thus may or may not actually happen. (*weeps*) And a collaboration with Ashok Banker that also never happened. (*weeps again*) Oh and his original design for Avni from Devi.

BTW, was it perhaps Saumin Patel who was responsible for the character designs for Virgin's totally-never-happened Ramayan cartoon?

Random and unrelated: This is the greatest scans_daily post EVER. Even better than cross-dressing My Little Ponies and girl!Jesus.

In less happy news, BITCH Magazine needs your help. Guys, this magazine is really really awesome. Please please please donate a few dollars if you can.


Tonights scheduled Scanspam Week post may or may not happen, pending laptop death rattles.

Those two little rakshasas on the Ramayan cartoon page totally remind me of Pain and Panic from Hercules... but cooler.

Agreed. SO agreed. XD

Marathi comics? Oh, I'm there. I'm so totally there. (Maybe I can test out my lackluster Gujarati while I'm at it.)

And those scans are definitely better than cross-dressing My Little Ponies and girl!Jesus. This is yet another reason I should stop viewing the internet while drinking hot coffee.
