Monday marks the end of my “Pirate Week” experiment, so hopefully that was enjoyed.

Thought I should give an update on what’s going on here as it has been QUITE busy. July 4th was celebrated with class here in Japan. A group of Americans (including myself) met at a public park, and proceeded to blow things up, throw exploding ninjas at one another, and tie roman candles to a camel (dubbed the “Roman Camel”). Great fun was had by all, and much alcohol was consumed…FOR AMERICA!

We’ve also booked a trip to Thailand for a summer vacation. We’ll be leaving Sendai and heading for Bangkok on July 27th, and I won’t be updating comics during the trip, but you can bet that my characters will at some point themselves take a trip to Thailand (Who can resist with cities named Bangkok and Phuket? COMEDY).

The 5 day a week comic routine will begin again on Monday August 4th. I had hoped that if I took a cartooning break I could use the time off to finish up some other work (I have a ton of code to monkey out for the website), as well as catch up a bit more on my comic buffer, but I don’t think I’ll be drawing much in Thailand, I’ma ride me an Elephant and pet a tiger.

I will leave you with a small preview of the newest stories. Coming up next: Bob and Nicole visit Sendai Castle, a magical playground of ninjas, samurai, and booby traps! Following shortly after: Bob’s addiction to crane games hits a fever pitch, while Nicole goes wild for purikura! Exc!amat!on Ma!rks!!!
