That old German script is called Fraktur. I've had to read a bunch of it in my theological studies.
Thank all you guys for what you’ve done, this continuing masterwork of parody and satire of that which badly needs ridicule, the primitives on Skins’s island and their flatulent philosophies.
It’s been a great five years, but even though I read the DUmmie FUnnies from the very beginning, being a reticent and shy person, I never asked P-J to put me on the ping list until circa 300. I needed some sort of assurance it was going to go, before I jumped on.
Talk about a grievous lapse in judgement.
My MIL made a few dollars transcribing Fraktur for several folks...including Bob Smith and the Wittenberg project.
It's a beautiful script, but difficult to read at length. No wonder you wear glasses (as I do, of course). And, no, I don't read German. My German is mostly limited to German cuisine (Spätzle, Zulze, Spikgans, Kartoffelpuffer, Spek, Sauerbraten) and such remarks as "Ein bier, bitte" or "Kann ich kaufe Ihnen ein Getränk".
Of course, those were from my overseas days...
