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

    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.

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

    Funny, nemi.no doesn't work for me.

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