Chinese (simplified, for Mainland China)
And Cartoon Macro is (I think) coming! Published–like Cartoon Micro–by Cheers Books, I think of this translation as The Cartoon Introduction to Socialism with Chinese Characteristics 🙂 PS. Here’s one of my comedy routines on Youku with Chinese subtitles!
Czech
Cartoon Macro in Czech is supposedly coming from 65. Pole. I haven’t actually seen a physical copy of this book, so if you find one please let me know!
Galician
Both Micro and Macro are published by Laiovento and were translated by students at University of Vigo working with faculty members Marta García Gonzáles and Eduardo Luís Giménez Fernández!
Japanese
Also on Amazon Japan (Micro, Macro) and here’s one of my comedy routines with Japanese subtitles!
Korean
Both books published by Bada Books! (Here’s a link to the calculus book; see also Kyobo and Aladin.)
Malay
Cartoon Micro and Cartoon Macro in Malay are supposedly coming from The Malaysian Institute Of Translation & Books, but I have my doubts.
Mongolian
Cartoon Micro and Cartoon Macro in Mongolian are supposedly coming from Nepko, but I have my doubts.
Spanish
Published by Random House Mondadari, which is based in Spain but with offices in Latin America; see also Amazon listings for Micro and Macro. See also this cool promo video and media including El Pais, La Sexta, El Mundo, and RTVE.)
Turkish
Cartoon Climate Change in Turkish was published (no later than 2023), I think by Yeni Insan Yayinevi (New Human Publishing House).
Vietnamese
Cartoon Micro and Cartoon Macro were published by Nha Nam, I think in 2016. Cartoon Climate Change was published in 2026; here’s some info. Here’s a PDF of the front-and-back book cover. Bui Lan Anh (Alana) writes: “Among the first 1000 not-for-sales copies, 6 have been sent to you, 25 were sent to Vietnam National Library, and the rest were distributed to the libraries of VinUniversity, Foreign Trade University, Academy of Journalism and Communication, University of Transport and Communications, and 56 Vinschools. Initially, I planned to distribute the book only through personal channels. However, due to the strong support and enthusiasm from readers, I am currently working with the publisher to print an additional 1,000 copies, which will be made available on online bookstores and at retail bookshops in Vietnam. When the book is released for retail sale, I will reach out to you.”
