Tierpark can fix that

There's nothing in the world a visit to the Tierpark can't fix . . . well, except for my hay fever.

Tastes like banana

Is it just me . . . ?

Small World

He was one of the project coordinators at the gallery. Boggles my mind.

Squirrels are complicated

Why's it so impossible to pronounce in every single language (except for Japanese)? Is it as weird-sounding in other languages too?

Fun Times with German Bureaucracy

Bah! But hardly the end of the world. I'll get it all figured out!

Happy 500 Posts!

Whoop whoop!

To celebrate my 500th post, I made a very Japanese-y Yonkoma (literally, four panel) comic about weird English apartment names in Japan. The address system in Japan is super complicated (I was also trying to explain the Japanese address system to G, and it was way more challenging than I imagined it would be. Maybe I'll get a comic out of that too.), so these stupid apartment names actually come in handy when it comes to finding the right building.

It would have been slightly weird to have to ask official documents from overseas to be sent to "Urban Royal Palace". I'm glad my building had a significantly less obnoxious name.

Oh, and here's an example of one of my favourite 4-panel comics, Kobo-chan:

Whoops

Yikes! I don't know how I did it, but I apparently forgot to save the changes I made to the all but one panel for today's comic. D'oh! Alas, I'll have to post them tomorrow. Sorry! But here's my first panel! Obviously set in Japan . . .

We've just met

I babysat these really awesome girls aged 7 and 9 last night. I think I got really lucky because they were really, really sweet and we spent a good chunk of the time together playing Wii and drawing comics. It's been so long since I've last interacted with kids and I'd forgotten how fun they can be. I also got about a week's worth of comic material . . . ha!

昨日はすっごく明るい７歳と９歳の女の子たちのシッターをしてきました。本当に良い子達でラッキーだった上、彼女たちのおもしろ発言だけで１週間分ぐらいのネタゲット。笑　子供ってホントに面白い！
