Fried Chicken and Sushi 185 The new girl...

Looks like J isn't the only black person working at his video game company.  I have a feeling he's happy about it, for many reasons.  Oh!  I've been playing around with my Art Blog at www.bangacomics.com and I think you should check it out.  It will give you a good idea of some of the other stuff I do.  Thanks!

Fried Chicken and Sushi 183 Turning Japanese

Happy New Year!  I hope you all are excited about the new year and all it will offer.  Today's comic really happens when you're in Japan and are accustomed to talking to people that do not speak English well.  You begin to speak slowly and very simply so that everyone can understand you.  I remember forgetting certain words because I didn't use them anymore.  Have any of you had this experience?  I'm looking forward to another year of comics and I hope you're are too!

Check out my new interview!

Hi fans!  Mark Turner from the Oakland area examiner.com interviewed me about Fried Chicken and Sushi, my creative process and the future of the comics industry.  Check it here!  I think it turned out pretty well.  I actually sound like I know what I'm talking about.  Please give it a read! Thank you Mark!

Fried Chicken and Sushi comic review. Take a listen!

The awesome guys over at the Deconstructing Comics podcast critiqued my webcomic here http://deconstructingcomics.com/?p=1389  I was a bit nervous because both of the hosts, Tim and Mulele are Americans that have been living in Japan for many years.  They had good things to say and made some great points!  I think they really get what Fried Chicken and Sushi is all about.  Give the podcast a listen and see if you agree!

Also, I hope you're enjoying Karl's adventures at the Board of Education.  I remember having to sit in the B.O.E. office everyday for a month before school starts, doing nothing.  They hired me to teach but without having any classes yet, I guess they just didn't want me to hang out on my own with all the free time.  Guess they figured, "We're paying this foreigner, he'd better do something!"  It sure was boring though!  I'm not kidding when I say there was nothing to do.  I had to create my plans for the day and bring books to read and notepads to draw and write in.  Every now and then, someone would come by and try to practice English on me.  That would actually make me feel great because most of the time It was like I didn't exist.  I couldn't wait for school to start so I could get on with the job I moved all the way to Japan for!
