historietas en sepia

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature article on media history in Mexico
Hi
I can´t find a good translation for "historietas en sepia" - the author gives examples such as "Chamaco chico", "Pepín", "Paquín".

I am not sure if "historietas en sepia" is exactly the same as "historietas seriadas" - the author uses them both...

Thanks for your help!
Nina

@ Jenni True words, Jenni :) Happy New Year!

Lisa - Don't worry. There was a hair's difference between our answers and one point more or one point less won't change either of our lives.
Once again, a great new year to everyone. Thanks for making the Proz Kudoz forum such a nice place to spend time jawing about words.

Hi Nina I automatically received the points as I think you may have opted for the 'leave it to the community to decide' option. I don´t know how you can reallocate the points to Jenni, as it's her answer you went for in the end. Maybe someone knows how to do that?
Jenni Lukac (X) Dec 28, 2011:
Thanks for sharing the author's feedback, Nina, and happy holidays to everyone!

historietas en sepia Sorry to be so slow! I wanted to wait for feedback from the writer herself. She and I have taken all your suggestions into consideration and agree that "vintage comics and stories" (leaving out "sepia-tone" which makes the phrase a bit bulky) is the best option. So I suppose I would give 4 points to Jenni Lukac! Thank you very much!!

I think 'historietas seriadas' are 'comic strip series'

sepia-toned comics

Yo creo que esto sería lo más acertado.
Te dejo una referencia curiosa: la letra de una canción de Jack Johnson.

"...photographs with sepia-toned loving."

agree Barbara L Pavlik : Yes, "sepia-toned" is more commonly used than sepia-tinted or sepia-coloured
