Loved your smiley facial expressions this week. And, yeah, I agree about many American customs officers being unpleasant: their problem, genuine security issues notwithstanding, is that they're xenophobes. But, by all means, please continue to smile your Japanese smile--I love Japanese positivity in general, and your sense of humour in particular! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, one more quick comment: I've noticed that the real-world 'guest' figures that have appeared on-panel in this strip and in your last one have been rendered in a slightly more realistic fashion than you normally display. Is this just an experiment, or are you saying something specific about these individuals? Just wondering; either way, I like it (the angry border guard's glare was especially funny to me, for what its worth). :)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a commentator with eyes for details! I thought a realistic style might convey the border guard's seriousness and anger better. I also enjoyed drawing in a "graphic novel" style.
DeleteThey're very concerned about terrorists sneaking in nowadays, I suspect your smile makes them more suspicious rather than reassuring!
ReplyDeleteI will keep working on a better smile! :)
