Chinese (simplified, for Mainland China)
Cartoon Calculus should be coming from Beijing World Publishing Corporation. And Cartoon Macro is (I think) published, like Cartoon Micro, by Cheers Books. I think of the Cartoon Macro translation as The Cartoon Introduction to Socialism with Chinese Characteristics :) PS. Here’s one of my comedy routines on Youku with Chinese subtitles!
