Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. …
And so on.

Blessed are the merciful” in a courtroom? “Blessed are the peacemakers” in the Pentagon? Give me a break!"

Palme d'Or to "Fahrenheit 9/11" by Michael Moore
You, know, Michael Moore, is kinda like our Bush, not the most intelligent, not the best behaved, but he's out there and he's on our side.

"Our side," meaning, the true patriot, the actual defenders of  non-bullshit progressive, populist values of a truly free society, AKA treasonous terrorist self-hating liberal scum.

The New American Century
by Arundhati Roy, The World Social Forum
"In January 2003 thousands of us from across the world gathered in Porto Alegre in Brazil and declared--reiterated--that "Another World Is Possible." A few thousand miles north, in Washington, George W. Bush and his aides were thinking the same thing. Our project was the World Social Forum. Theirs--to further what many call the Project for the New American Century."

I think I like the bigger version better, it's still the same size... ~26 KB

Freesia I don't know why they label some comics "mature audiences" or "adult content." Working definitions of "adult" and :"mature" both include not reading comics in the first place.
Anyway it's an excellent comic, love the drawing style.  Like most manga aimed at men (not boys), it's loaded with both violence and misogyny.  But Matsumoto weaves in both elements coherently in to the thematic structure, rather the gratuitous fanservice.  It's the difference betweenthe exisistential horror of JG Ballard and a entertaining bestseller like Steven King.
Actually, there are lot's of explicit scenes... but they're not the titillating kind... unless you're pretty fucked up already, of course..

Gazooks, I gotta move again.
I'll prolly be back in couple of weeks.
If not, see you in December, when, hopefully I'll be able to bitch incessitently about how much President Kerry sucks.

Have you seen my stats?  I'm breaking less then a grand, it's horrible!  I use to get up in the 4,000's and broke 5'Gs before I killed KF.  Though frankly, I'm surprised enough of you kept on coming...  man fuck this, I'm gonna draw Harry Fucking Potter!  If I can't make any money out this, might as well get [in]famous!  Hopefully, somebody will sue me and get me an NPR interview on intellectual property/ copyrights and shit....

<-- Rest of the GHMC charater sketches, they're all inked up and await colorin' like the previous Mei with bike shorts. 
And yes, that is Idgie below.

As a parting treat, I uploaded every single Kung Fool episode I ever did in the Archive (use the jump menu).  It's all there, most of you haven't seen in a year, so you can waste some time there.

JainmeS Hey, first time I see scanlations of Korean comics!  (You'll need bittorrent, has review on a adjacent page) They look identical to manga, really.  When I was kid, you could reasonably tell which was which, but then that was before the anime influenced style took over most Asian countries.

You will see one noticeable difference, unlike most Japanese comics that are serialized in magazines first, most Korean stuff is produced for the Rental Library market. 

(In Korea, you go to a comic shop, pay a couple or so bucks and either stay for several hours and read all you want buffet style or borrow a bunch for couple of weeks, just like a movie rental.  If you ask to buy them and they'll just stare at you like an idiot.  Unlike the Japanese, the Korean public has yet to experience the sheer American pleasure of buying something you'll read/watch once, that will clutter up you home for 20 years and end up at a garage sale for 50 cents.  Japan does have a ton of used bookstores just for manga, where you can get the stuff cheap, and in bulk, but the publishing industry still bitch about them cutting into the sale of new comics.)

And so while serialized stories need to fit a 20~ page chunk per episode, the rental libraries deal in whole books, around 150 pages or so.  Since you get paid per book, not per page, lot of the Korean cartoonist fit 3-4 huge panels a page and fit a whole arc luxuriously in to a novella, instead of the 6-8 tight panels for a ~20 page episode in some weekly.

As for the content... I don't know, usual manga fru-fru crap.
