Hello Holla Forums. I've had this comic in mind for some time and recently re-read it. I wanted to share but scanning my own copies is too much of a shore. That and they are in french. I found a download link for the whole series and between yesterday and today translated the first issue. The problem is I'm completely illiterate as far as image editing goes as shown in so I'll post the comic pages and the translated dialogue below. The format is the following:
Page X Box1 Character: Dialogue Box2 Box3
I included parts where no dialogue was present and tried my best to translate the jokes as well. Everyone is welcome to improve the translation and/or actually edit it into the comic. Without further ado I'll bring you the comic Billy the Cat 1: In a Cat's Skin
Christian Flores
Meet our protagonist, Billy. For all intents and purposes he's a rotten apple. I know it's kind of sudden but he died.
Page 3 1 The bell rang just a moment ago. It announced,
like every other afernoon, the end of an endless
schoolday. 2 Billy: And the teacher's face when I threw the
frog! Black kid: And the frog's! Heeheehee 3 Kid with the red cap: The teacher's little pets
will have to copy back their notes! Billy: Nice one with the firecracker! Black kid: Let's scram! 4 Billy: Look alive guys, here's the ferocious
bengala tiger! 5 Billy: It's a hit! Black kid: Get out man eating monster! 6 Billy: By guys, don't forget your blowguns
tomorrow! Kid with the red cap: There are things we don't
forget about Billy! Black kid: That's for sure!
Page 4 1 Graffiti on the wall: Billy | Louis is stupid 2 3 4 Shop owner: Hey kid! Wouldn't you rather be doing
something your age? 5 Billy: Here's a game my own age, fatso! 6 Billy: Fatso! Fatso! Hahaha! 7 Shop owner: Watch out! Billy: Hahaha! Catch me if you can! Haha… 8 9

Sorry about the way the last post came out. I have no idea where those newlines popped from. Meet more wacky characters. I bet this is not how you imagined the afterlife! (Note: These two speak in rhymes but I'm not good enough to accurately translate it like that)

Crocodile: Sincere condolences, such bad luck Ladybug: Only a moment of absence and now it's the time of penance. 6 Billy: Wh-Who are you? Crocodile: Don't cry poor child. I understand your shock Ladybug: Even so it's the law. Life yields to death.
Page 6 1 Ladybug: Aren't worms a telltale of the dead? Six feet under, I lead you to your fate. Billy: Does this guy think he's impressing me talking like that? Crocodile: I regret it's the funest rite. Heaven or hell will depend on your faults. 2 Billy: The guy who said two heads are better than one must have missed you. Crocodile: Oh it's not possible to avoid me. No matter the fate, I have to handle it. Ladybug: On the bridge, please step forwards. We'll see how far your sins lead you. 3 Ladybug: Chapter one, naughtyness, 917 punches thrown. 4 Crocodile: Chapter two, snotty, 32 unconfessed thefts! 5 Ladybug: Chapter three, bad behavior, 1835 different cases! 6 Crocodile: Disobedience, arrogance, negligence… 7 Crocodile: …laziness, glutto- 8 Crocodile: Will you let go of me?! I'm ruining my alexandrians! Billy: Mommy! 9

Page 7 1 Wall: Billy! They didn't tell you everything so you can return to the ground if you wish. Billy: Yes! I want to go home! I'm sick of this nightmare! 2 Wall1: It's not so simple little one. You need to follow the way of limbo… Wall2: Whatever you were yesterday, today you will be transformed. Billy: I beg of you wake me up! 3 Crocodile: So be it, that's your choice. In order to punish you who raised a hand against me… your past you will not forget! Hahaha! 4 5 Crocodile: Good luck Billy. 6 Wall1: Good luck! Wall2: Good luck Billy! 7
Page 8 1 2 Billy: Wh-Where have they gone? I'm starting to get fed up with this. My paws are soaked… 3 Billy: ?! PAWS?! 4 Billy: I- It's not possible! They must have made a mistake! 5 Billy: I… 6 7 8 9
Angel Reyes
Page 9 1 2 Billy: Ouch! 3 Billy: W-What happened to me? 4 5 Dog: Smells like cat, boy, a wet cat! 6 from the building: Welcome among us young innocent… You would have avoided a lot of misery by staying quietly inside your home. 7 8 Dog: A dirty cat just for you boy, attack! 9 Cat: Until one of these days… if you last long enough…

So far our protagonist seems to be living quite a nightmare. Even his family has vanished into thin air!

Jason Garcia
Note: The original joke at the end of page 14 is a pun on chat (cat) and peau (skin) combining to form chapeau (hat).
Page 13 1 2 ???: You missed, poor shot! 3 Black kid: Pow! I'm gonna hit you man eating monster! Kid2: Hahaha missed again! 4 Kid2: Put stones inside your snowballs, it makes it easier to aim! 5 Kid2: Go back to your mother! [Second hand books sale] 6 7 8 [Warm chestnuts - 20 cents] 9

Eli Sullivan
Page 15 1 ???1: Feline! Hohoho ???2: Hey little guy. What are you doing there? It must not be very warm in there! 2 cat1: Heehee! Best pun of the year…? Hey, stop Hubert! Don't tell me you're going to take care of the squirt?! Hubert: Are you all alone little one? 3 Cat: I'm telling you, leave him be. Did you already forget about the busy night we got ahead of us? 4 Hubert: Mmhh… doesn't look too good either! 5 Cat: But… Hubert we're expected at 'Circus', we have to pass by the 'Mirano' and have you forgotten the meal at 'Gromeyer' just now? And me, Do I count for nothing? Hubert: Give me some space, will you? Cat: Y-You're nothing but a selfish prick! 6 Cat: Will I? Of course I will give you some space! I'm fed up with hanging around with 'the providence of the gutter, the knight of forgotten dead ends!' Pfft! See ya Saint Martin! Hubert: Yeah yeah. 7 Hubert: The cold isn't an issue. You just have to prevent it from spreading around… come. 8 [Winery] written on the truck Hubert: Perfect! Here's exactly what we need. Do like me.

Hubert's the other main character in the series. He'll be Billy's friend and mentor in the hidden ways of being a gutter cat and not want to kill yourself every morning.
Page 17 1 2 Hubert: Do like me little guy. Put some feeling into it! 3 4 Hubert: Haw haw! Let your body talk little guy, that's the good stuff! 5 6 7 8 9 Billy: Sir! I can't go up! 10 hubert: Missed, pal! You'll have to get up earlier if you want to catch anything else than a cold!
Page 18 1 2 Hubert: Well? Isn't life withuncle Hubert a piece of cake? Billy: I'm hungry! 3 Man: A bit of ketchup if you p-?! 4 5 Hubert: You just had to ask little guy. Just had to ask! 6 7 Hubert: Such beauty all those muscles in action! Hop hop. 8 Hubert: Nimbleness, agility, this dog is quite the athlete! 9 Hubert: Roll away youth! 10
Evan Smith
He also talks a lot to make himself appear all-important and has a serious fetish for cars.
Page 19 1 Hubert: Come! We'll take a little look under the tents 2 3 Hubert: Heheh, I'm still looking quite handsome for my age! 4 Hubert: On your belly kid, on your belly! 5 Hubert: Watch out, we're flying! 6 Mouse1: You can come out guys, they left. There's no danger anymore Mouse2: A-Are you sure? 7 Cat: Pfft…. 'The wastelands's good samaritan'! 8 Hubert: Ah! Supreme! The little dishes at Gromeyer are nothing short of good! 9 Billy: Mister Hubert I have to tell you something…. I'm not really a cat! I'm actually a (human) boy! Hubert: Absolutely! I immediately saw that. When I got to that dead-end I told myself: Hubert, what you have in front of you is a little (human) boy
Page 20 1 Billy: But it's true I… Hubert: There's nothing wrong with that lad. Me, when I was young, I thought of myself as a carrier pigeon! And it didn't get better with time… 2 Hubert: Every time I think about Nepal's beaches or the twilight on the portuguese islands I tell myself: "Hubert, Life is there! You're big spaces cat!" 3 Hubert: The Caribbeans! That's a country to dream about. Sun rays at will, boats that bring fish all day long… 4 Hubert: The world hides away so many wonders, so many adventures, so many loves… Billy: It's raining! 5 Hubert: Here we are! 6 7 8 Hubert: Cadillac Eldorado 1954 75 series, lad. Breathe in deeply and you'll feel the fragrance of Detroit's factories, the particular scents of the Sunset Boulevard's tar. 9 Hubert: What do you think about the palace little guy? Billy: I…
Jayden Bailey
But all things considered he's a good cat. Even if he doesn't want to keep playing nanny eternally.
Page 21 1 Hubert: She was a bulgarian actress, spending her autumns on the italian riviera. There was a window open so we, you know… 2 Hubert: That grace, that class… and the cuisine! The cuisine! A royal life little guy. We were young and crazy… 3 Hubert: I'll never forget that painting over her bed. That old chapel with the windy colours into the sunset. If you ever pass by the town of Andorre… 4 5 6 7 Car: Watch out! 8 9 10 Page 22 1 2 3 Billy: Hey Mr. Hubert wake up! Hey! Mr. Hubert! Hubert: Eh? Who…Err.. 4 Billy: It snowed and it's a thick layer! Hubert: Yay! 5 Billy: It snowed! It snowed! Hubert: Ew! Chilly paws again. 6 7 8 Cat: Let's go Charles-Henri-Misti! You know very well I forbid you to frequent gutter kittens! 9 Billy: We're gonna have a lot of fun today, right Mr. Hubert? Hubert: Err…Yes! 10 Hubert: Mmh.. Listen kid I think it's for the best if we found you a family… A gentle family that will take good care of you!
James Collins
Hubert has a hard time trying to convince the kitten about how cruel life in the streets is after having so much fun the night before! Also, Dubeur is a pun on 'Du beurre' meaning literally 'of butter'. Page 23 1 Hubert: Let's go lad! There's a couple of things I need to explain to you. 2 Hubert: The world of gutters is hell. The ferocious dogs' vicious hostility, the merciless quest to find the least bit of spoiled food, the humid back of the cold alley as your only home, the lonely wandering… Sad! Billy: Yeah! We had a lot of fun right? 3 Hubert: No! Imagine the well being of a warm house with two or three crackling logs in the chimney, an old velvet couch and a few soft pillows. What do you think of that little one? 4 Hubert: Listen, think about the sweetness of milk bowls, regular meals served on clean plats and uh… I could come visit you! Maybe even every day… at first! Billy: I prefer the seats of your big car. 5 Hubert: Everybody down! This is exactly what we need. 6 Billy: But… Hubert: The ideal is to take on a miserable look. You know, a kid left alone in a cold winter. Or maybe simply an innocent, naive look, like a gentle companion that will turn a home into a happier place 7 Hubert: Like so! 8 Hubert: Your turn to play. I'm gonna watch from the opposite street. 9 Hubert: IF he isn't adopted in two min-?! 10
Page 24 1 Hubert: Wastelands, frozen trash bins, those aren't a future for you. You'll be so much better off in a nice family. 2 Hubert: Okay I'll be looking at you. Don't move! Billy: Pfft. But why Mr. Hubert? I won't get in the way! I won't take a lot of space! 3 4 Hubert: Do I have to get angry? 5 6 7 8 Grandma: Poor little fur ball. People have no heart! Here my poor abandoned kitten. Billy: L-Let me go! 9 Grandma: You're going to come home, nice and warm, at Mommy Dubeur's place. She's gonna give you a nice big bowl of milk with honey. Billy: No! No!
Hunter Moore
The hat pun is back, so again I replaced it with this other terrible pun again. Mevoirsibel is another pun if you can call it that. 'Me voir si belle' literally means looking so beautiful
Page 25 1 Dubeur: Albert and Felix are going to be happy! 2 Dubeur: Ginette, Mironton, Come see! 3 Dubeur: Look at the little companion mommy's bringing you… 4 Dubeur: And who's going to eat a nice can of bird liver flavored Noblesse for connoisseurs? 5 Billy: Ew.. Cat food! Dubeur: Be a good boy. Mommy's gonna take a little nap. 6 [Box: Bakery | Pastry] Billy: I much prefer cakes! 7 8
Page 26 1 Mouse1: Welcome to the permanent show of Mommy Dubeur Mouse2: The marvelous, amazing mice of lookinsogud Mouse3: In sound and gruyere! 2 Billy: Ow! 3 Mouse: Applaud nedisk the beast-master and his merry troupe of talking field mice! 4 5 6 Billy: Help! D-Do something! Mouse: Not so fast you're gonna end up… 7 Mouse: Feeling sick! Hohoho! 8 9 Hubert: 'Feline'. You're a really funny guy you know? Billy: Mr. Hubert! 10 Cat1: Would it bother you to be quiet? We're napping here! Cat2: Yeah! Cat3: Well said! 11 Hubert: Myeah all things considered this may not be the family you need. Come, we're leaving. 12 Mouse: Pfft! You're all talk!
Xavier Thompson
First adoption attempt failed, second one didn't fare any better.
Page 27 1 Billy: Do I get to stay with you Mr. Hubert? Do I get to stay with you? Eh, Mr. Hubert? Hubert: No, no and no! 2 Hubert: I… I've got a lot of dates you know! I'm a 'big spaces' cat and I'm very busy right now. You need to understand! Billy: But… 3 Hubert: No buts! I know it can seem harsh, saying it like that. You're thinking to yourself: Hubert has no heart, he's an insensitive rock, a merciless wall… 4 Hubert: And… Girl: Oh daddy he's so cute! Can I bring it home? 5 Girl: He's all alone! Dad: Of course not. Look, there's the mommy waiting right there. 6 Girl: Can I keep it? Can I keep it? 7 8 Girl: It's my most beautiful christmas present! 9 Soon, at that warm new home… Girl: Look daddy, I put a knot on the cat! 10 Girl: I caught you! You are mine, you are mine! 11 Girl: Don't be sad. I'll put the knot back on later. Now you need to take a nice bath to get all cleaned up.
Page 28 1 Girl: My toy, my little doll! We're gonna have so much fun! 2 Girl: Poor little kitty so alone. Now you have a brand new mommy just for you! Billy: Mr. Hubert! 3 Girl: Go to sleep kitty, my little kitty, go to sleep Billy: Mr. Hubert help me! Don'tleave! 4 5 Billy: A cat's life isn't merry! 6 Dad: What happened this ti-?! Mom: Good evening everyone! 7 Dad: Close the door the cat's escaping! he's… 8 Billy: Mr. Hubert! Wait for me! 9 Billy: I want to stay with you! *sob* I won't take a lot of place *sob* Hubert: No! I alraedy said no! Get back in there right now! 10 Billy: I'm not a doll! I'm perfectly able to fend for myself all alone! Hubert: All alone means all alone little guy! Good luck if that's what you want!
Andrew Stewart
Billy finds a conveniently empty house and that sinister cat from the beginning is back.
Page 29 1 2 3 Cat: Sanctifer! He-he's coming back! 4 5 6 7 Billy: I need nobody! I'm old enough to take care of myself! 8 ???: Hurry up! We're gonna be late for the christmas party at Gromeyer! 9
Page 30 1 2 Billy: Mister Hubert of the Big Spaces thinks I'm gonna freeze to death without his science eh? 3 Billy: Mister Merciless Rock believes that the entire world is gonna starve to death without him eh? 4 Billy: Stupid meal for stupid cats! 5 Billy: And for that matter I'm not going to stay a cat! I'm going to find the Crocodile and the Ladybug and I'll tell them myself! 6 7 [Publicity] 8 Publicity: There are difficult cats and there are connoisseurs… 9 Publicity: Noblesse for connoisseurs! 10 Billy: I don't want to be a cat! I don't want to be a connoisseur! 11 Billy: *sob* 12 Billy: I'm a boy! A boy!
Carson Green
He's a real piece of work.
Page 31 1 Billy: *sob* 2 3 Cat: Dear God, such intolerable despair! Such unbearable anguish! 4 Billy: L-Leave me alone! I'm not a cat! I can't stand cats! I hate cats! 5 Cat: And what if I confessed to you I basically share your views? 6 Billy: You're only saying that to please me! Cat: Listen, I'm sympathetic for you. 7 Cat: You know, the truth appeared to me like it did to you. Cats are selfish, hypocrites, conceited… no? Billy: Well… 8 Cat: Always acting so high and mighty and yet ready to flee at the first obstacle. We don't ignore their true face you and me, isn't that right? 9 Cat: Come, I sense some sorrow in you. Tell me everything. 10 Billy: It's because I am a boy you understand? I was getting out of school and… Cat: We can't keep calling eachother 'you' forever. What's your name? 11 Billy: … and so my father… Cat: Shhh!
Page 32 1 [Antiques] Billy: Oh! A fleeing dog! It looks like he's scared of you! 2 [Antiques] Cat: After you Billy, come in! 3 4 5 6 Billy: I-is it's your home? Cat: Yes, somewhat. Many of these objects have acquired some powerful significance to me. 7 Cat: It was here that I divined there was another life besides the one in the gutter or the one in complete pension refuges. 8 Cat: Of course I had the thought of not being a cat like any other since as far as I can remember but look, 'she' talked to me. Billy: The… The statue? 9 Cat: The commendable wisdom of the pharaons and the great priests of noble Egypt had recognized in us the masterpiece of creation. We were gods at the shore of the Nile, princely spirits in the Sumatra valleys! 10 Cat: Why gods? Because, you must know, our four wills are always obbeyed. Man believes himself king and yet our whims are orders to them: The world belongs to cats! 11 Billy: But I… I thought you were like me? That you hated cats! Cat: I agreed a hundredfold. we were then talking about the trash populating this city, right? 12 Cat: Rome didn't fell in one day. Neither did the cat's splendor but here we are: the houses, gutters and back alleys are full of degenerate beasts, of decadent bastards!
Daniel Barnes
He tries to teach Billy about his so-called latent powers which seem to revolve around being a demanding cat.
Page 33 1 Cat: I felt in you the same fire that burnt me in the past. The desire to awaken your intelligence, to awaken your conqueror's will! Do you want me to teach you? 2 Cat: Do you want to discover your latent power? Do you want the world to start obeying your orders? 3 4 5 Cat: It's very easy. You'll see. Stay here and pay attention to me well. 6 Man: Look who's here! 7 Man: Sanctifer! My old pirate! I was just telling myself we had not seen you in awhile! 8 Man: Hoho! Mighty Sanctifer! Not in the mood to let me caress you eh? I'm sure you're rather hungry eh? 9 Man: What would you like? It's Christmas eve for everyone. Smoked trout? bird liver? 10 Man: Your highness isn't really going to play hard to get with a trout from Gromeyer, right? Sanctifer: Taste it! Last time it wasn't that fresh!
Page 34 1 Man: Mmh! It's really good, believe me! A nice trout for the kitty cat. Mmmh…. such a nice trout! 2 Sanctifer: Your turn to play Billy! Look at him and think hard about what you want. 3 Billy: I… I'm scared! Sanctifer: Don't be! Remember the statue back there… The divine cats at the shores of the Nile… 4 5 Man: Oh! You didn't came alone! That's a cute kitten there. 6 Billy: Cake. I want a big piece of cake! W-With Chocolate! 7 Man: Here kitty kitty! Come to the gentle man my cute kitty! Sanctifer: Tell him! Tell him what you want! Tell him! Billy: Cake! I want some cake! 8 Man: Brutus! No! 9 Man: So… What about my trout? Sanctifer: Stupid! I promise you're going to regret this you gloomy moron! I'll be putting you on the list tonight! Merry Christmas! Haha… 10 11 Man: Wait! Don't leave without even tasting my buche! (a cake)
Mason Sanchez
The empty house's cat was probably in this party as well. And here's a familiar face!
Page 35
1 Sanctifer: That sure worked up an appetite, right? Let's go celebrate christmas eve Billy Billy: Oh yes mister! I'm hungry! 2 Sanctifer: It's here! 3 4 Cat: S-Sanctifer! Merry Christmas! We're very happy to have you among us! 5 Cat1: Compete with the 'Noblesse' campaign? Alright. But not with one quarter of the budget and I… Cat2: Of course she does better with 20 square meters… blabla… one hell of a return…blabla… audiovisual landscape… Cat3: 'Feline' you understand? Huhuh…Stupid joke… huhuhh… really dumb… 6 Sanctifer: What you're seeing here is the elite of this town. And by that I mean what you can barely gather around here that's just tolerably educated. Billy: Look sir. It looks like the cat that appears in the ads! 7 Lipton: Sanctifer! W-What a happy surprise! Your presence here rises the status of our little party… Sanctifer: Here's my excellent friend Billy who immediately recognized you. You're becoming quite the celebrity my dear Lipton!
Page 36 1 Cat: Get out Hubert! Sanctifer is in town! Hubert: Sanctifer?! That's bad! I must absolutely find Billy! 2 Cat: You're too late! They were heading towards Lipton's villa! 3 Billy: Do you eat Noblesse for connoisseurs? Lipton: How awful! No! Look over here. Dill Swordfish morsel, armagnac quail, passion and orange charlottes… 4 5 Lipton: White chocolate eternal snow on a praline mountain. Go ahead and serve yourself. Billy: Oh thanks sir! 6 Cat: Get out trash eater! It's a luxury night here! 7 Hubert: I'm looking for a friend… Cat: It's luxe! We just told you! You have no friends here! 8 Hubert: Billy!… It's me, Hubert! I need to talk to you! Billy! 9 Sanctifer: I don't see what you could possibly tell him that could interest us! Pathetic. Hubert: Don't butt in Sanctifer. 10 Lipton: Our distinguished Sanctifer seems to accord you some real care my dear… Billy: Oh yeah. You know I'm going to become a real Subatra prince on the Dunhill shores… 11 Sanctifer: You'd attack me?! I fear you lost your sense of reality poor moron.
Logan Martinez
I don't really think Sanctifer's got any real powers so what happens here is just one hell of a coincidence.
Page 37 1 2 Sanctifer: You won't have defied me in vain. You'll meet the end that all imbeciles of your kind deserve. 3 Billy: Are you in the ads too? Cat: Me? Oh no, I wouldn't be worthy of it. I live with a commercial director. That's all the common ground, if you see what I mean!… 4 Cat: But tell me about these Subatra princes. It just seems so passionant to me. 5 Hubert: Billy! It's me, Hubert! 6 Sanctifer: Come… Come pick me up now! 7 Billy: Mr. Hubert!? 8 9 Billy: Stop Mr. Sanctifer! That's Mr. Hubert! 10 11 12 Billy: Mr. Hubert…
Page 38 1 Cat1: Another client for the old factory again… Cat2: We even told him it was a luxury night! 2 Billy: Sir! Sir! What's the old factory? Where is it? 3 Car: These Tabarsky are charming. This party must have costed them half of the Noblesse budget! Cat: We don't know what you're talking about. Go home! Billy: But… 4 5 6 Car: Jacky Ickx really good on snow 7 Car: Yeah and Robert Dunul drank a lot so drive more slowly! 8 9 10 Billy: Mr. Hubert! Mr. Sanctifer!
James Russell
Billy nearly gets himself killed by a car. That'd be the third time in this issue alone counting the time where he actually got killed.
Page 39 1 2 Car: Lookout! Here's the deadly turn! 3 Car: Smoothl-?! 4 5 6 7 8 9 Billy: T-The old factory… 10 Billy: I'll never make it! A cat is too small!
Page 40 1 Billy: Everyone's celebrating christmas. Everyone's receiving presents! It's not fair that I'm always alone in the cold! 2 3 Billy: And it's not fair that my paws are so ridiculously small! If I was still a boy I'd find that damned factory! 4 Billy: I'd run on the road and I'd be there in two min-?! 5 6 Billy: It's not fair! It's not fair! It's not f- err… 7 Billy: Err… pardon me sir… I'm looking for an old factory..? 8 9 Billy: Wait… You must help me! It's for Mr. Hubert's sake!… 10 Billy: I.. Oh!

This series gets kinda dark at times.

Page 42 1 2 3 Billy: W-Why are you all in cages? Did animal services get you? 4 Cat: Psst! It's a secret! Come closer and I'll tell you… 5 Cat: The world is cursed! Because of dogs… Look! They grow everywhere! 6 Cat: Look around you! The dogs are getting closer… they're climbing on your fur! Dog: Let me out of here! Put down the fire! I'm gonna burn! 7 ???1: Th-They're coming back! I hear them! It's gonna be my turn! ???2: As for me, I'm cold! Billy: Mr. Hubert! 8 Billy: Mr. Hubert! Dog: Nobody has a name here anymore. Haven't you understood yet?

Page 43 1 Sanctifer: Billy?! Billy: Don't hurt him! He's my friend! 2 Billy: Mr. Sanctifer! You're here! Hurry! We must help Mr. Hubert! Sanctifer: There there Billy. You're getting carried away! 3 Billy: You're an island's prince. A noble from the Subara. You're going to tell him to free Mr. Hubert… Sanctifer: What are you so afraid of? Everything's going just fine… 4 Sanctifer: Your pal Hubert is receiving the first shower of his filthy existance. Then he'll be placed in a charming little cage where you'll be able to visit him as much as you wish… Billy: I don't want him put in a cage! I don't want anyone to hurt him! 5 Sanctifer: Isn't it an admirable vocation? To offer his own living body to science! Billy: No! Not Mr. Hubert! 6 Sanctifer: You're just like me. You hate it when your will is not done, isn't it? 7 Sanctifer: I like you very much Billy. When you've learned to obbey me you'll be that little heir I hoped to have one day! 8 Billy: A-As for me I don't like you at all! It's Mr. Hubert who's my friend and.. Oww! 9 Man: What the…?! 10 Man: Oow! 11

They're so alike they can't even tell each other apart! 2 Sanctifer: Me, I am Sanctifer, chosen of the feline divinities, beacon of the rebirth of our immemorial powers! 3 Sanctifer: I am the prophet of the specie's resurgence, the purifier… 4 5 Dog: Hurry up!

That's all! Thanks for reading. I hope the format wasn't too off putting. Here are the other issues and I'll upload the first one to the volafile. Billy the Cat actually has 11 issues but editorial fucked them up big time so only the first 6 should be taken into account. Long story short the two guys responsible for the story had a falling out and left a third guy in charge. There was also this cartoon that removed every single dark element from the series and turned it into a Saturday morning cartoon with Billy being transformed into a cat by a magician and his family being none the wiser as a cat-turned human replaced him. The last 5 issues take on a very different tone than the first 6, lightening up the series too much in my opinion.

I might try and take a crack at 'shooping these later.
Isaiah James
Cool, thanks for the read!
David Davis
I'll try to translate one issue per week. I think this thread should last long enough since Holla Forums isn't that fast of a board.
Levi Barnes
I didn't even know.
David Sanchez
And a good one! Nothing like that horrible cartoon with the wizard
