This strip features detailed drawings of food (name the dish Bucho-san is eating!), a 14-year-old girl in a school uniform, and a silent final panel with rain. I think that makes it the most manga-esque one I've drawn so far. I'm rather happy with how it came out. Also: I want to draw more close-ups of old people. Drawing all those wrinkles is really fun. Finally: I didn't know what MATZ's full name was until I looked it up to put into the caption in panel 3. That's when I discovered that Yuki's hero is named "Yukihiro". What a delightful coincidence!

Stephen 2007-10-02	There's something strangely John Kricfalusi-ish about that closeup panel. Maybe it's just too early in the morning... The US sure has a weird way of making short Japanese names. Matz? Dice-K? Also I appreciate that they are eating dinner at work at 6:45.

Actually, that's a 24-hour clock, so it's 12:45 and lunchtime. Not that they wouldn't also eat dinner at work sometimes. I'm pretty sure that Matz calls himself Matz and US abbreviation has nothing to do with it. See his blog for instance.

Stephen 2007-10-02	WTF 24 hour clock? oh, right, the future. Also I'm sure that at least Matz gets his name from Americanization of other /Matsu.*/ names.

sushux 2007-10-02	Wow. Much <3 for the last panel. Also for all the food names on the board. Mmmm! And 14-year-old Yuki is the cutest thing ever!
