Most webcomics are written in American...Portuguese will probably be easier to understand for most English speakers.

I don't see too much difference between american english and the "traditional" english... Color, colour...

Anyway, someone know a comic in other language other than english hosted in Keenspace?

Was just a joke, mate. I like taking the piss out of the rest of them.

Can't think of any off the top of my head, but I do know there's another Brazilian webcomicker, though his strip is in English (and hasn't updated for months): http://www.alexandilia.com.br/

Yeah, I know Alex and Ilia, RPin is very popular... It's only in english, this is why I thought Keenspace don't accept non-english comics...

Stolle is in another language...it's not really hosted on keenspace, though, I don't think.

Many comics have translations. You can see which comics are available in which language on the Guide. I don't personally know of any that are exclusively in another language, but I do know some sites have been set up just to mirror an existing comic in another language.

Speaking of which... can some admin smack the heck out of mune.keenspace.com's guide entry? It is only in English, it shouldn't be listed for every language. It just screws up the guide that way.

Guide: <a href="http://guide.keenspace.com/k_lang_pt.ht ... tuguese</a> / <a href="http://guide.keenspace.com/#language">languages</a>

Huh, disappointing.

Somehow I doubt he falls into all those Comic Style & Content categories either.

EDIT: *looks through comic* Then again, may it does... *Shrugs*

Hmmm, cool... It seems like my webcomic is going to be the (true) first in portuguese in Keenspace... Now I have to get to work...

Hey! A fellow countryman! Take over Keenspace we will!

Anyways... Yes, you can have any language you want. I chose english because I wanted to reach a broader audience.

See, this is a perfect examle of how two similar languages can be totally different.

...because I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

Take the piss...like taking the mickey out of someone. Having a friendly laugh at somebody.

I'm sure that's not just an Australian phrase...

I was going to make a wry remark about how there is no language called "American", but it appears y'all have all beaten me to it.

To take the piss/take the mickey of someone means to make fun of them in a friendly manner.

(And why on Earth did you all revive this thread?)

KKB did it!

After that it's all fair game, eh?

We don't have those phrases in the US.

And generally 'piss' over here doesn't mean drinking or being angry. (Exept for 'Pissed off' but that's the only time it's used.)
