Oh You!

Nostalgia

I know the whole Somali piracy thing is kind of dated, but then again, so is the whole ninja vs. pirate thing.

Hoot And A Holler

Actually, people in Asago are far more likely to mistake me for a Canadian than a hillbilly. Then again, people back home are likely to make the same mistake.

And bizarrely enough, a Japanese guy called my school today (okay, so that part's not so weird). Apparently, he heard that I'm from West Virginia and wants to talk about bluegrass music? He was talking really fast, so I'm not sure exactly what he said, but this promises to be interesting.

Yeah, so there are actually a bunch of comics I did recently that kind of...didn't work. So I'm going to post them all at once.

"Hiroshima Memorial Firework Festival"


Gaijin Card. Funnyish, but too similar to this comic.


Power-oke. When we do karaoke, we fucking DO IT.


This actually works, but...

So does this. There is nothing funnier than watching the little prematurely sullen bastards lighting up like a room full of Christmas trees.


But not for a spell-check. Or for teaching children not to stick their fingers up peoples butts.

Daisy Owl is Amazing

Okay, so have all the webcomics kids discovered Daisy Owl yet or is this something I can feel smug about liking "before it was cool"?

The humor/art is somewhere between Pictures for Sad Children and Achewood, with just a dash of Calvin & Hobbes. Which is another way of saying it's insightful, creative, and wonderfully silly.

Here is an example of one of their many fine panels:


If you click on the panel, it will take you to the full comic.

I chose this panel because picking up children is basically what an elementary school ALT does all day, and I am worried that this ingrained behavior will carry over to other portions of my life. Like maybe I will be at a party and want to introduce myself to a person, but instead of shaking their hand like a normal person, I will instead pick them up, spin them around, flip them over my shoulder, and maybe give them a pile-driver.

Come to think of it, that may be how my parents met...

(Ben Driscoll, I hope you do not mind me putting one of your fabulous panels in my blog, but come on man, I compared your work to CALVIN & FREAKING HOBBES)
