Nope, won't make the Tuesday either...

Here's a high res version (~280KB).
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were Eastman (who now owns the embarrassing Heavy Metal) and Laird (founded Xeric comic grants) goofing on Frank Miller's Otaku phase, when he created Electra and a host of white/black mystical ninja stuff into Daredevil, after he got the the boner of his life reading Lone Wolf and Cub, written by Kazuo Koike, who wrote the some of the best AND the worst comics ever created by man.

Lucas should make all the Star Wars like ganzo porn videos, give us the 5 minute action scenes so we don't have to sit through his indecent plots and obscene dialogue.

THE HAN WORLD - Korean Residents in Japan
They're mostly descendents of the slave laborers of early 20th century... they use to get lynched, but now they're just discriminated against... basically they're Blacks.  Koreans have become Jews in America and Niggers in Japan.  Funny world, ey?

An Interview With Masamune Shirow
by Frederik L. Schodt
   1998, kinda old.... Shirow's the guy who drew Appleseed, the comic I loved as a kid... vol.1 and 2  were great.  It had robots that actaully looked like it could work (i.e. Gundam sucks), interesting characters,  fun action scenes and a decent plot, even a gag every other page.
   These days, he mostly draws Ghost in the Shell 2 (An incomprehensible mix of Buddist mysticsm, cyberpunk, mid 90's 3D CG, and pantyshots) and Cheescake Pin-ups (Glossy Shiny Titties™ on NAMBLA boy hips).

I went on AIM to bust Jeahoon's balls again about the Transformer color pic, and before I could finish typing out, "Hey, I just came to bitch about the color pic, tell a few off-color jokes, and leave the PC on while I go off somewhere for hours on end," he immediately logged out. Now I know how my landlord feels.

More internet fame! I'm listed in "Webcomics so unfunny that they become funny" thread over at Something Awful forum:

"H. S. Kim started out with a cool comic about a few people working for a cheesy martial arts TV show. A lot of his work used simple Flash stuff to present sequential comics, and it was neat to read. Then the updates started becoming more and more sporadic, and Webcomic Work-Ethic Syndrome kicked in.
   Now he's stopped Kung Fool entirely and has been promising to launch a new comic for over a year now. Instead he spends most of his time in his own forums critiquing other people's work, exposing front page readers to a bunch of Frothing Liberal Jackass links, and making torturous crossovers with the original characters from Kung Fool. Oh man, Kill Bill and Harry Potter! Funny AND topical!"

Can't say I agree with the "Frothing Liberal Jackass links" comment, but the rest is pretty much on target.  It's on page 4 of the thread, but its worth going through to compare the competition.
