Here I demonstrate how to take a public domain comic book, take a story from it, clean it up, and prepare it for re-lettering with Cherokee Syllabary using [GIMP] and [Inkscape].
The reason we want to do this instead of producing new content from scratch is to reduce the amount of labour from many months to only a day for the re-lettering process, once translation has been performed.
This is the final set of practices and will test your skill with all of the Syllabary.
