Feb 20th, 2009 - Tourist Notes: Baby Bat
"Have you read The Resident Tourist?"
"Ah, it's not that great. Don't know what the fuss is about.
That Troy Chin is full of shit. Who the fuck finds baby bats
in their shoes? The whole thing is bullshit. Just like he is."
Ever had conversations with your friends that ended up like this?
Ha ha. I bet you have, haven't you?
It's actually a very common occurence,
almost 2 a day, especially when you're dehyrdated.
But look at that tiny black thing above.
No, it's not a frog. It's the baby bat from Tourist 2!
Where you think the ass is, is actually the head.
(It's facing the camera)
I took this after flinging it out of my Nikes in 2007.
"Yeah, sure. He could easily have Photoshopped it."
That's true. That's why you can't trust Facebook photos.
Most people on there aren't really babies!
How can babies type on a keyboard?
Um...where were we?
Oh, right. The baby bat.
At least we all know that it made it.
And I'm happy to report that a whole family of bats
fly outside my window every night around 3AM.
Ji-ji-ji-ji.
"What? This is the Tourist related news he's talking about?
He really is full of shit."
Feb 15th, 2009 - The Road To 825HP! (Part 1)
Are you all playing this game in the arcades?
This is seriously quite addicting
...especially when you start a new car.
There's also always a bunch of kids hogging the machines!
I mean, I've tried going at different times of the day,
but they're always there!
ANYWAY,
do any of you read the Wangan Midnight manga?
Namco really followed the books closely this time in DX.
I'm gonna re-read the entire series from volume 1
as I complete the game chapters and hopefully I'll finally
open those later volumes I bought but never got to read.
Kid 1: Ke ke ke, this guy is a noob.
Kid 2: Yeah, playing with auto gear.
(This is what I have to put up with these days. Damn punks,
I use automatic coz it's the COOLEST.)
This is my card. What's this? There's no car info?!!!
Just you wait. I'm gonna take this car all the way to
chapter 100 (maybe I'll get 100 consecutive wins too).
Can the Loti car make it to 825HP? Grrr. Those kids are hogging again.
Feb 10th, 2009 - News From The Studio
Hello! It's been some time since my last update, hasn't it?
What have all of you been up to? I hope everybody had
a good Chinese New Year.
Speaking of which, the CNY story of Loti will be complete this Thursday.
And incidentally, that marks the 150th strip for the series thus far.
Let's try going for 300 strips!
Ha ha ha.
That is quite a scary thought.
See that picture up there?
That's the initial concept sketch I did for the Loti kids.
Why do I feel that it looks nicer than the final art
that shows up in the strips? Am I regressing?
Oh no. Let's not think about that right now.
Loti is supposed to be a simple comic about those 6 kids
playing around their school and neighborhood.
But they have taken over the story! They want to do their own thing!
And what's up with that dog? Is it a...?
Anyway, I'm going out a lot more so I can research more stuff,
which is a good thing because I've been cooped up
in the drawing room for too long.
Maybe I'll start writing about those adventures here so
you can sort of get a glimpse of the ongoing Tourist narrative
without waiting for the next part
(a lot of material gets dropped from the book).
Yes, I am aware of the emails demanding for part 4.
Don't worry. I haven't forgotten about the Tourist. It's just that
I'm still "living out" the next book as we speak.
Oh, there is something Tourist related
that is happening in the near future though.
I wonder what that could be?
