Well these next three one-page comics just have to be new on this forum. I did not see them on the Wiki neither did not find with a quick search through this topic. They may not be the greatest you have read but they're still TLK ones!

How Enlightening
Go Fish
Pest Control

Also two of these will add two new letters in the comic section of Wiki, the G and the P!

And Akril, may I ask how do you translate these comics? I know you use Google Translate but can you any Russian by yourself? Do you have Russian layout on your keyboard?

I relied solely on Google Translate. I was afraid I'd have to copy Cyrillic characters from MS Word into Google Translate, but when I started typing words into Google Translate, I noticed a little blue button with a picture of a keyboard on it in the text field. When I clicked on it, I got a virtual keyboard with Cyrillic characters on it. This made translating a lot easier.

Anyway I found a "new" Russian one which is like a hybrid between a storybook and a comic. I wonder what they are asking about at the end?

Hmm, interesting find -- I've never seen it on INDUCKS. I may have to translate it myself just to see what the questions at the end are about. Looks like some kind of quiz about the story, or maybe just ants in general.

Comic With Missing Pages

I actually remember that comic from when it first came out -- it wasn't that interesting, though. It was a lot like a typical Timon and Pumbaa TV episode. In the comic, Timon and Pumbaa end up in a surfing contest with "Kahuna" Quint.

Heh, I was referring to "Birds of a Feather" but was a little disappointed after reading it, it could have worked better...

Ah, okay, I see.

ZOMG! Ed is talking!

Yeah -- he's done it a couple of times in the comics, and he talks in one of the German audio plays too.

I'm not sure how Akril do that but when I was translating this story: http://www.mylionking.com/wiki/File:Igr ... alki_1.jpg into polish I was using ocr software (Free OCR v3).

Waaait a minute...Kiara's face is in the lower corner of both of those stories. Did the artists mix her up with Nala?

The title of this story roughly translates to "Science Kings". I translated the text on that page, but I think there must be more parts to this story, since nothing much really happens on this page:

Simba was running on the savannah in search of entertainment. After finding some coconuts in a clearing, the lion cub immediately came up with a game: he tossed them up in the air and tried to catch them.

"What are you doing?" Zazu frowned. "Is this an activity for a future king? I'll teach you something useful!"

Zazu began to teach Simba how to behave as a king, but the cub was soon bored, and he again began to toss coconuts higher and higher.

"Stop that nonsense!" protested Zazu. "It won't useful to you when you become a king." "Okay," sighed the lion cub gloomily. "I won't play anymore!"

(Those little purple things are...coconuts?)

EDIT: Whoops, my mistake, I found the other pages of the story on the MLK wiki. I'm translating them right now.

EDIT 2: All right, here's the rest of the story.

Page 2:

The lesson continued. Zazu told Simba that the king does not twitch his whiskers or tail in the presence of his subjects. But this lesson was interrupted by Nala.

"Simba!" she cried, panting from running so fast. "The river overflowed its banks! Animals could die!" "Where are they?" asked Simba. "This way! Hurry!"

In the midst of the raging water, a monkey and a lizard were sitting on a small island. They trembled and clung to each other. "The current isn't very fast, but they can't swim!" said Nala.

Simba dropped a few coconuts into the water, and by jumping from one to another, he made his way to the island. Gently grasping the lizard in his teeth, he moved back to the shore the same way.

Page 3:

Then he went back to save the monkey, but by that time, all the coconuts had been carried away by the water. "Don't be afraid," said Simba. "I'll think of something!"

Fortunately, the island was strewn with logs. Simba balanced one on a rock and winked: "You want to go for a ride?" Happily, the monkey flew through the air and landed on the shore.

Then he swam safely to shore, and the small island became covered by the water. "Thank you, Thank you!" said the monkey and the lizard. "You saved us!"

"You're a real king!" "Yes...what can I say..." said Zazu, scratching his head.
"From now on you can play games wherever and whenever you want.
I shall allow it!"

I've got a whole bunch of TLK magazines and each issue had part of a story with pictures in it and all the stories are based around Simba's time in the jungle with Timon and Pumbaa, both as a cub and adult. There's some great characters in them. I have one of the stories uploaded to photobucket, if people are interested, I could scan a few more. There's quite a few pages for the first story, I've linked to them all in order below

I've heard of this series before -- Li'l Cheetah posted several of the stories to her Photobucket account, but I think there are still several that are still missing. If you have any of the missing stories, it would be great if you uploaded them.

Hey guys, I was bored tonight so I decided to translate that Russian comic/storybook thing.

Here:

I found it amusing when it reffered to Nala as Simba's Girlfriend. x]

[Akril]

Oh, darn -- I was translating the same story, Simbaholic! My translation is a bit different than yours since I did a little tweaking where the result sounded awkward, but this is what I came up with:

Page 1:
One day, Simba and Nala were hungry and went into the jungle in search of food. "There’s always something tasty in the jungle!" said Simba. Suddenly Nala saw a long trail of ants crawling on the ground. "I wonder if they are looking for something to eat too? Let's go after them!" she suggested.

The ants soon led them to a bush, which was covered with ripe fruit. "You were right about the ants!" Simba laughed. The fruits were very tasty and ripe, and sweet juice oozed from them onto the ground. "Don’t worry, be happy the ants will clean up the mess after we finish eating!" Nala smiled.

Page 2:
(The words under the hyenas are obviously their names -- Shenzi, Banzai and Ed.)

But suddenly the cubs heard a menacing growl behind them. Turning, they saw a hyena, which was preparing to jump. “Run!” squeaked Nala. The cubs ran into the bushes but two more hyenas blocked their path.

Then Simba had an idea. “Throw fruit at them!" he whispered to his friend. “That won’t frighten them!" murmured Nala. Again, she was right. The hyenas only laughed when the cubs hit them with the ripe fruit. “That’s not going to help you!" they said.

[Turn the page...]

Page 3:
But suddenly, the hyenas howled in unison -- they were covered by a horde of ants! Sensing the sweet juice, the ants swarmed the hyenas from head to toe! The hyenas rushed away, shrieking. "What fine fellows -- they led us to food and gave us the opportunity to eat in peace!" smiled Simba.

[Test yourself]
1. Where did Simba and Nala go in search of food?
2. Who lead them to food?
3. What were the fruits on the bush like?
4. How many hyenas were there?
[Answers: 1. The jungle, 2. Ants, 3. Delicious, ripe and juicy, 4. Three]

I thought it was funny how the narrator called Nala Simba's girlfriend too. This has happened a couple of times in foreign comics.

Wait a minute...A jungle practically next door to the Pride Lands? Lions eating fruit?
*shakes fist* Curse you, "Upendi"!!

EDIT: Oh, and speaking of Simba's Pride, I found a comic on INDUCKS that looks like it's by the same author/illustrator as "Science Kings" and "Tasty Tale", but it stars Kiara, Timon and Pumbaa. As usual, there's only a tiny thumbnail of the first page, though.

Lol. Girlfriend. I know I had a Disney Adventures comic book. It might have a TLK comic in it. Hope I can find it...

[Akril]

Well, I'm in a good mood today.

Why? Because I've discovered a number of TLK comics that were written in English. That's right, English -- which means no translating for me, and no out-of-place-looking Comic Sans for you! These are all from the magazine Disney Comic Hits!. Nearly all of them play out like episodes from the Timon and Pumbaa TV show, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

A couple of the comics I found are ones that have either already been posted or translated, but I'm not removing any of the comics I've already uploaded, for the sake of completeness.
"Love Struck" - Remember when Zazu got crushed by a female rhino in TLK? Well, in this comic a female rhino develops a crush on Zazu.
"Slime Okay, You're Okay" - Zazu tries to settle a mudhole-related dispute among some hippos.
Once Upon a Timon - The OTHER story of how Timon became an outcast and met Pumbaa.
Bruisin' for a Cruisin' - Timon and Pumbaa...on a cruise ship!
The Green Ghost - Timon and Pumbaa...in a castle in Ireland!
Mall I Want for Christmas - Timon and Pumbaa...in a mall at Christmastime!
The Terror of Lake Timbuktu - Timon and Pumbaa...at a lake with a monstrous fish in it! (I think this is the only comic I found that Nitrol didn't upload a Russian version of.)

And here's the original English "Greedy is as Greedy Does" and "This Chore's a Bore"
