ENGLISH CAPTION HERE —— 00:50 Do you know the country Korea?
00:16 Just 50 years ago
00:25 They had nothing in their hands
00:33 Korean War was too severe
00:39 for those who just escape from the colonization by Japan
00:54 Nobody mentioned
01:06 any word of the hope like future or even tomorrow
01:14 For them, tomorrow was
01:27 just another name of today which they cannot assure their survival
01:40 Little praying for their survival was the only thing allowed to them
01:49 There were no poorer countries than this country
02:02 The sense of dream for them
02:07 was that they just spend a day without starving
02:17 and they just want their sons and daughter to avoid this poverty
02:24 It was obvious for them that the life was too severe
02:31 and it might never astonish us even if
02:39 they just sob and give up
02:46 Nonetheless
02:55 they did never attemp to run away as well as give up their presence
03:14 Though they couldn’t ensure better tomorrow,
03:22 they just wish the tomorrow of their sons and daughters
03:30 Officially enrolled countries in UN were around 120 at that moment
03:36 and the GNP(GNI) of the Republic of Korea
03:43 was only 76 USD in comparison with 220 USD of Thailand and 170 USD of Philippines
03:51 the second poorest country in the world was Korea
04:00 In 1962, Korea succeeded in borrowing loan as much as 140 million DMK from West Germany, similarily divided country, against the interruption of the US
04:08 On contion of sending nurses and miners whom West germany required and setting their salary as a mortgage
04:18 Before Germany admitted the ability of young korean nurses, what they firstly did was to clean dead bodies with a gauze with alcohol
04:30 Miners worked extremely hard as they endured serious heats of the earth in the mine caves under a thousand meter deep
04:40 President of West Germany was moved by korean workers, how hard they work and he invited President of Korea to Germany. Many korean workers got together to see their president.
04:48 They began singing their national anthem prior to the presidential speech However, they couldn’t finish singing because they couldn’t stop whimpering. Korean president put his prepared speech into his pocket and said the same sentence repeatedly.
05:00 Let’s work harder and harder. Let’s work much harder not to make our sons and daughters sold to foreign countries.
05:07 Miners appeal to German president in vain for help. “Please help our counry, please help our president. We can do anything”
05:17 Korean president ceaselessly sobbed in the car going back to the accomodation as letting crying miners and nurses
05:26 German president gave him a handkerchief to soothe him and promised We help you, our people help your country
05:35 Modernization of Korea was
05:45 initiated by the sacrifice and tears of these nurses and miners
05:52 Sending troops to Vietnam war was being the catalyst to accelerate economic development
06:00 Expressways could be constructed with the help of sent soldiers’ combat allowance
06:07 and there were being the artery of our country
06:14 Construction workers dispatched to desserts in middle east made extensive efforts to earn more dollors in every day and night.
06:22 Young girls worked hard in wag, sewing, fabric and shoe factories producing exports while they eat only instant ramen in a bid to supplement their younger’ tuition.
06:33 and we eventually achived democracy
06:50 Year 1950 and 50 years later, My country, Korea has
06:56 World’s 3rd largest Constuction Industry
07:01 World’s 5th highest rate of Nuclear energy power plant use
07:04 World’s 5th Steelproduct Industry
07:12 World’s 1st Shipbuilding Industry
07:18 World’s 12th largest export and import business
World’s 4th most foreign currency holder
07:25 World’s 1st spread rate of personal computers
World’s 1st spread rate of broadband communication infrastructure
World’s 1st IT infrastructure of Schools and
World’s 1st rate of Digital opportunities
07:33 Do you believe the existence of Miracles?
07:37 I would love to tell you it is the miracle
07:44 Someone often ask
07:49 why koreans are so proud of their unity nation and place hugh importance on the patriotism.
08:00 Rather, I want to ask them
08:05 how you are not proud of this country
08:12 Just overcoming the poverty can’t be the answer
08:20 In Korea and our hearts, there has been ‘noble spirit’ representing our hopes which the painful history along our blood vessels never happens again to others
08:28 Our today can exist on the basis of such noble spirit in Korea
08:38 Now, we promise that we will hand over a good country to our sons and daughters
08:46 we will give you the country worthy to be proud of as well
09:00 I Love My country, Korea

JBL OnTour Portable Music Box
Share your music while on the road with the Harman JBL on Tour portable speaker system, which features an integrated protective cover that slides open to reveal a pair of full-range speakers. The slightly curved chassis measures 7 by 1.4 by 3.5 inches (W x H x D) when closed. When open, the cover shifts focus to serve as a stand, pointing the speakers upward to produce optimal sound on a flat surface. The system is compatible with most portable audio players thanks to its stereo mini-jack connection, which hooks up to such devices as the iPod, iPod mini, and a variety of other MP3 players, CD players, desktop computers, and laptops. The JBL on Tour is also easy to control, with a touch volume pad that both manages the volume and mutes the sound when desired. The speakers also remember the previous volume setting once the system shuts down.
Unlike many portable speaker systems, the JBL on Tour prides itself on its steady bass and clear, accurate audio. The device employs Harman’s digital amplifier technology and Odyssey aluminum-domed transducers to deliver a full, rich frequency response that extends from low bass notes to high-end tones. In addition, the system uses computer-optimized equalization to improve the soundstage and an advanced energy management system that keeps the unit from wasting battery power during use. Additional features include gripping rubber feet below the speakers, an audio input cable, and a universal AC adapter. When used as a portable system, the JBL on Tour provides more than 24 hours of continuous play on four AAA batteries. The device also includes a low battery alert.
What’s in the Box
JBL on Tour speaker system, audio input cable, AC adapter, user’s manual.
Electronics:
Easy-to-use Touch-controls Touch Volume Control Just a touch increases or decrease the volume.,The sliding cover protects your sound system and serves as a stand when open.,he surface gripping rubber feet provide a stable platform on most surfaces.,A universal AC adapter allows for easy worldwide use.

Soliciting Your Opinions On Obama Cover
I want to wait a day and collect more opinions before venturing some thoughts on the big story of the July 21 New Yorker cover presenting in satirical fashion a radicalized, flag-burning President and Mrs. Obama.
If any of you have thoughts on the matter, would you please consider sending them in where they’ll be reprinted in my post tomorrow? Did you think it was a good cartoon? Do you think this kind of thing has a harmful effect on the campaign?
Site Publishes Joe Chiappetta Without Permission; Deletes Page When Asked
The cartoonist Joe Chiappetta sent in an e-mail describing an exchange between himself and a site called Weblo, Inc. Apparently, the site had used this cartoon on its own page. Chiappetta sent in a letter promising press attention, asking the cartoon be removed and declaring a bill would be sent for use of the cartoon, citing its original positing on his own site. The cartoonist received a letter at 12:52 AM this morning declaring “Hi, the website has been deleted. Sorry about the inconvenience.”
While the events of the story have reached a satisfying conclusion, I wanted to mention it here because it seems to me that there’s a lot more copying of content right now, and Chiappetta found an aggressive and effective solution.

Go, Look: Libyan Cartoonist Elzwawi
I am extremely unfamiliar with the cartoonist’s work, but a mention in this blog post about Libyan-based blogging alerted me to his existence.
Filling In The Picture on Drawn and Quarterly’s Late 2008 and Early 2009
Unlike Fantagraphics, which does a more traditional Fall/Winter, Spring/Summer sales catalog, Montreal’s alt-comics publishing empire Drawn & Quarterly does a catalog for the calendar year. Going from the back half of this catalog and a few on-line bookseller listings, one can see their next several months slowly start to take shape. Here are five books I particularly look forward to seeing.
*****
ACME NOVELTY LIBRARY #19, HARDCOVER, 97818972299562, DECEMBER, $17.95.
The great Chris Ware returns to his excellent-so-far Rusty Brown serial with what is becoming an annual holiday treat of major significance. The only way I can describe how I look forward to these new ACMEs is to recall the way I felt about those turn of century movie fantasy wallows that showed up for a few years in a row there. I can’t believe I’m following a serial that last came out a year and a half ago with such focused interest.
*****
AYA OF YOP CITY, MARGUERITE ABOUET AND CLEMENT OUBRERIE, HARDCOVER, 9781894937900, SEPTEMBER, $19.95.
The first book in this series by Abouet and Oubrerie was like nothing else that’s come out in recent memory, and I want to be among the first to read its follow-up. On the one hand, it’s this beautifully observed and funny soap opera; on the other, it’s a melancholy love letter to an all-too-brief period of cultural vibrancy and possibility, since faded.
*****
MELVIN MONSTER VOL. 1, JOHN STANLEY, HARDCOVER, FEBRUARY, $19.95.
Let the latest great reclamation project begin with this publication from the limited run of comic books that made up the great John Stanley’s primary contribution to the mid-1960s monster craze. One of the two or three best Dell comics ever.
*****
SKITZY: THE STORY OF FLOYD W. SKITZAFROID, DON FREEMAN, HARDCOVER, 9781897299586, OCTOBER, $19.95.
This one just looks like a lot of fun: the well-known children’s book author (Corduroy) looks at the day in the life of a man split between artistic and business pursuits. What could be a tedious exercise in the hands of some artists should in the late Don Freeman’s fall somewhere between light on its feet and outright elegant due to the artist’s judiciously applied line.
*****
THE BURMA CHRONICLES, GUY DELISLE, HARDCOVER, 9781897299500, SEPTEMBER, $19.95.
Because the English-language follow-up Shenzhen preceded Delisle’s noteworthy Pyongyang in the original French, or at least that’s what I’ve been led to understand, that would make this the true sequel to Delisle’s internationally lauded hit. It’s as interesting a subject as North Korea, that’s for sure.

CCI Travel Note: Hotel Deposits
This is the day when most — it could be all, I don’t know — hotels in San Diego participating in Travel Planners’ reservations through the convention offerings lock in the deposits or expectations of deposits for the forthcoming Comic-Con International. I made a small hotel switch yesterday to get a half-mile closer to the show for the one night I’m there, and I couldn’t be happier. If you still need a room, you may be in luck. There remain plenty of slots available for individual days, although passes into the show are almost non-existent at this point. I expect Travel Planners to make a huge push next year to get rid of the double- and triple-booking that results in so many rooms being locked up for no reason until they’re dropped late in the game, but you can certainly take advantage this year. (I would also guess this is a consequence of some plans being changed because of the economy, although it’s impossible to say for sure.)

CR Review: We Can Still Be Friends
Creator: Mawil
Publishing Information: Blank Slate, softcover, 64 pages, 2008, $12.99
Ordering Numbers: 9781906653019 (ISBN13)
Let’s get one thing out of the way: the cartooning in German cartoonist Mawil’s second (?) English-language effort is extremely enjoyable and goes down much like a you-name-it paragon of pleasurable pop consumption: Tim Buckley’s voice, an exquisitely prepared lemon bar, Bill Cosby in his prime doing stand-up. I haven’t seen a book this year other than perhaps the Les Petits Riens collection that NBM published that offers up this much casual eye candy; I could live in this world for years at a time. That said, the cartoonist’s story of missed opportunities with various love interests dances right along the line that divides engaging self-deprecation from tedious, anticipatory confession. This may be troublesome in that Mawil works in a narrative voice that practically begs for super-close examination, a scanning once and twice and maybe even three times for signs of inauthenticity. Worse, many North American comics fans that might be the perfect audience for this story have a knee-jerk, almost rage-filled reaction to material that depicts human frailty of any kind, let alone autobiographically-influenced stories of same.
That latter take on things is patently ridiculous, of course, but the first could pose difficulties. Every so often while reading this material enough of the genial tone slips to one side or the other that one might find themselves scrambling for something to grasp onto other than the thought that our narrator is a really nice guy that just doesn’t get it, and once or twice you might even come close to seeing the entire affair as a declaration of innocence more than a gentle examination of one’s faults. Audiences may prove kinder to this material than I’m being right now; I’m not certain. There’s a wonderful experience to be had in diving into how Mawil sees the world. One just wishes at times there was a little more moral and intellectual complexity to that vision. Once the novelty fades that our lead isn’t neurotic nor does he obsess over his situation as patently unfair in the manner of many autobiographical comics works, it’s hard to figure out why we should care about his plight one way or the other. It makes me very curious to see other works if only to find out if this is an approach that Mawil deemed appropriate for this subject, or if it’s something that is ingrained in the cartoonist’s general outlook.

What It Is Is A Very Strong Seller
I didn’t catch this until this morning because of an e-mail snafu, but Drawn and Quarterly has good news to report about their publication of Lynda Barry’s What It Is. The legendary alt-cartoonist’s work on the creative process has become the fastest selling book in that company’s long history, says D&Q representative Peggy Burns. It shipped two printing in its first month, and a third printing of 10,000 took the total to 25,000 copies in print thus far. Burns also notes that each stop on Barry’s tour has been attended by 100-400 people, which is pretty great for an author’s tour right now of any kind, and comics maybe doubly so. You can see Barry at Comic-Con International 23 days from now or at this year’s Small Press Expo, or in tour stops from now through November in places like St. Louis, San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Washington DC, Los Angeles and Portland.
What’s worth noting about this first rush of success with What It Is is that until D&Q expressed an interest, Barry was without a publisher. I hope that other companies keep in mind D&Q’s success with the massive color hardcover when considering whether to reach out to any other cartoonists out there that may be looking for this kind of publishing relationship.
Fantagraphics Announces Its Fall 2008/Winter 2009 Books List
The venerable alt-comics institution Fantagraphics has sent to press people and booksellers its Fall 2008/Winter 2009 catalog, as Chris Mautner noted the other day. I’ve listed their new comics releases here. Here are ten projects from the publisher I’m particularly interested in seeing.
*****
BEASTS! BOOK TWO, EDITED BY JACOB COVEY, HARDCOVER, 9781560979494, OCTOBER 2008, $34.99
The first volume of this book was one of the more fun art books of the century thus far, and I look forward to more of the same.
*****
BLAZING COMBAT, ARCHIE GOODWIN AND VARIOUS, HARDCOVER, 9781560979654, 200 PAGES, DECEMBER 2008, $22.99
It’s a pretty grand year that includes a huge Bill Mauldin Willie and Joe collection and a smart-looking compilation of Archie Goodwin’s super-solid 1960s genre comics magazine. If I was limited to buying one comic in their new catalog, I’d regret not getting this book more than any other when I picked up the new Love and Rockets.

BOODY: THE BIZARRE COMICS OF BOODY ROGERS, EDITED BY CRAIG YOE, SOFTCOVER, 9781560979616, 124 PAGES, FEBRUARY 2009, $19.99
SUPERMEN! THE FIRST WAVE OF COMIC BOOK HEROES (1939-1941), EDITED BY GREG SADOWSKI, SOFTCOVER, 9781560979715, FEBRUARY 2009, $24.99
Two that seem to be working the same portion of the comics shop staked out by Paul Karasik’s popular Fletcher Hanks book. This might be a danger sign for some publishers, but Craig Yoe and Greg Sadowski are super-solid designers and editors with fine track records when it comes to their book projects.

DEITCH’S PICTORAMA, KIM/SETH/SIMON/GENE DEITCH, PAPERBACK, 9781560979524, SEPTEMBER 2008, $18.99

*****
FUZZ AND PLUCK: SPLITSVILLE, TED STEARN, HARDCOVER, 9781560979760, 280 PAGES, NOVEMBER 2008, $24.99
I think Ted Stearn’s works is idiosyncratic and charming and funny as crap, and it’s hard for me to believe that someone who has created a neighborhood that you can imagine bus lines entering from the worlds of Gary Panter, Jim Woodring and Kaz isn’t at least a little bit super-popular. Okay, maybe I do understand it, but it still sucks. (image is one of the comic book covers)
*****
LOVE AND ROCKETS: NEW STORIES #1, LOS BROS HERNANDEZ, PAPERBACK, SEPTEMBER 2008, $14.99
I’ll miss the comic books, but who doesn’t want more Love and Rockets? The Jaime Hernandez superhero comic promised for this debut looks beautiful and odd, and Gilbert Hernandez has been crushing it every time out of the box for a half-decade now.
*****
MODERN SWARTE, JOOST SWARTE, HARDCOVER, 9781560979531, OCTOBER 2008, $29.99
Swarte’s wonderfully-designed comics and projects are so affecting that I know people that clip them out of any place they find that runs them, like it was the 1940s and Swarte did an elegant-looking comic strip. What a pleasure to have more of his work over here for bookstore consumption.
*****
PETEY & PUSSY, JOHN KERSCHBAUM, HARDCOVER, 9781560979791, OCTOBER 2008, $19.99
Kerschbaum was the first talent where I felt the collapse of the alt-comics model really hindered his career, as he had the chops and the prolific nature to become a four-time-a-year popular cartoonist on the level of anyone out there in the early- to mid-1990s. His work is as potent as any humor cartoonist’s since Will Elder.
*****
SUBLIFE #1, JOHN PHAM, PAPERBACK, 9781650979463, SEPTEMBER 2008, $8.99
Pham’s career path reminds me a bit of Dash Shaw’s in that he’s abandoned some of the surface glitz and potential breakout appeal of his earlier works in search of a more meaningful and significant way to tell comics stories. I can’t imagine not rooting for him to succeed.
