Xmas Comics Part 2 & 3

 And the rest of the Christmas comics before 2015! Have a Happy New Year!
(Oh, and by the way, G's parents live in a house in case you were wondering...)

Xmas Comic Part 1

Catching up on a few Christmas-related comics before the year ends! Here's part 1, based on an actual dream I had after Christmas dinner at G's parents' place...

Unh

Sorry for the lack of updates -- I was in the boonies for a workshop with the uni last week and hadn't checked the internets for a whole week...and now I'm in Bremen with G's parents for the holidays. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!

When We Met

Okay, slightly exaggerated, but we are definitely tubbier than we were on our first date!

Boah Ey

"Boah (ey)!" is the "Whoa!" or "Wow!" equivalent in German. I've caught myself saying it to non-German speakers many times this year ... I guess that might have been slightly weird.

Warmer Than Here

Adjectives, boy, I need more adjectives!

iPad Stalking

Name Tag

Kind of like unofficially getting married to a city.

Rice-ist

Featuring our friends Annett and Adam. Speaking of Adam, his new book Make Me German is coming out in January (and we're in it! kinda!)! If How To Be German and Denglisch for Better Knowers are anything to go by, it's going to be hilarious ... so go pre-order your copy!

Portrait Doodles

Thanks everyone who kept their fingers crossed for G! He did very well on Wednesday and is now happily (f)unemployed. :)

And now for something completely different -- some random portrait doodles of a few of my awesome classmates.

A Little Nervous

I'm crossing my fingers and drucking my Daumen and picking him up with a bottle of Sekt!

We Don't Say That in Germany

According to G, my German emails are still too polite.

Keeper

One of the many reasons why G is a keeper...

Utrecht

Memory or no memory, it was nice to see each other...!

Ein Griff ins Klo

I only learn the most important German phrases from G.

Halloween 2008

It was a fun costume, but not very practical at all...

Court Date

You know your boyfriend is a law student when going to court is a date...

Funny Faces

All Your Dance Floor

Yesterday we crashed someone's birthday party and wowed the people with our awesome dance moves...

Raspberries

Quid pro quo...I guess.

My butt

The things poor G has to put up with...

The Outside World

The outside world can be a scary place.

Chopstick Cramps

Welcome Back to Berlin

Ah Berlin, city of random, rambling, raving people, how I've missed you.

I Got Fired Today

Can I Have My Clothes Back

Not a proper comic, but a doodle I made for class today. Apparently Victor Hugo would write in nude and have his valet hide his clothes so that he couldn't leave the house until he was finished writing for the day.

Tomodachi Collection

I just should not have added my parents in the first place.

Go Figure

We're sniffly and snotty but we're getting better!

Butt Bug

So sorry for the lack of comics in the last few weeks! I was traveling around with G in Tanzania (was awesome!) and got back just this week. G is back for good (for now) in Berlin and we're settling into our normal life again, so check back for more regular updates! 

Random Tidbits from Japan

Superwoman

So sorry for the lack of updates! I had no Internet access on my last few days in Japan

Horiday

Continued from Quality Engrish from two days ago!

Also, I meant "... so it was totally worth the extra trip." Ahem.

Garbage Bin

This probably explains why I weigh about 15kg more than my friend...

Quality Engrish

Now I'm having second thoughts...maybe I should buy the "Comrade!" shirt.

Tokachi Roadtrip

I still have a bruise from where Rocky bit me. ha!

Nails

I'm very easily entertained...

Ramen

Japan is ramen paradise!

Ludacris

Coffee Jelly

The best!

Pixelated Image

He was probably confused by the pixelated Skype video, but still.

Hi from Hakodate! Sorry for the crappy quality -- the lighting was bad in the room I'm staying in. But yes. Will post Hakodate comics soon! 

Temperature Difference

It's cold up here in Hokkaido in the winter, but I'm seriously glad I don't have to be sweating like a pig in the sweltering heat in Tokyo right now.

Queues

I think there's very little that would get me to queue up when it's 34 degrees outside...

Reasons to Love Japan

And they're free and clean!

Pretty Girls

Quality Skype Time

Transit Comic

I tried to do more comics while flying from Berlin to Japan but I got too tired. But here's one I did early in the morning at Schönefeld Airport!

Caring

It's something I constantly struggle with -- this caring too much about what other people think. It gets better with age, but I still have a long way to go before I can say "Screw this, I do what I want!"

Popeye the Noble Steed

Happy Sunday!

Baby Popeye

I got dog-punched in the face (I guess I deserved it.)
