Lucy realizes that her life is not really interesting in excruciating detail, so this is her homage to brevity and LOLs.

Very intriguing comics from artist Yan Cong…
Mainstream Japanese manga is often too “movie-like” in with its storyline and visual perspective. The montages are too quick and it makes you rush your reading. You get the feeling you are always trying to catch up.
However, comics can give readers other types of experiences – they can make you meditate over one page, they can be read in a slow, unhurried manner, and they can make you feel that you have time to stop and appreciate the characters in the story. Overall, I want to say that there are many ways to draw and many ways to control the rhythm of a story – we should give readers all these choices.
Sometimes, when I find myself laughing at something funny I’m reading online at the office, I wonder if it would be equally funny translated into Japanese. But then, imagining my explanation for LOLcats in Japanese kind of gives me a headache.
It’s moments like these that make me realize just how brilliant xkcd is.
P.S. A bunch of teachers in my office are now proud owners of their very own photocopies of a blank absentee ballot… I HOPE that wasn’t illegal.
Meet Mr. Bat, a character I’ve been doodling since high school. “Mr.” Bat is not actually male (there is a whole comic book idea to explain this, but it would make for a very ludicrous and unsatisfying explanation, so… tough). I drew up this picture quickly (and by “quickly” I mean “in several hours”) to see if I could do a CMYK separation lithography (big words for: I’m printing this shit old school). I JUST finished printing the yellow plate… came out surprisingly well!
I too look like this when I’m moonwalking. (Via garfieldminusgarfield)
