The Adventures of Yutaro
May 4, 2008
Based on a true story but names have been changed to protect the innocent. The killer was never convicted. On a side note, he was largely credited with founding the art of sushi-making in Japan.

Your stories gets better and better! Love the art, love the pace of the story, love the feel of the japanese setting. Clever ending, one of your best endings to date.
I am just looking forward for you to publish the book!

It seems a lot like Tim Burton’s “The melancholy death of oyster boy”

Sound like a japanese folktale,
Look like a japanese folktale,
but it is not a japanese folktale.
If minus the rubber and taxi it will be more like one. LOL Impressive nonetheless. Thumbs up!

Hey Josef,
I think the artwork’s great. It definitely has the feel of ‘The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy’ – darkly perverse, yet light and somewhat silly – but using Asian motifs and minus the rhymes. I was kind of hoping for a darker, more gory ending though…would make great artwork that!

Hey Josef! You are a genius!
I think I have seen your work for a year or two, but that’s enough time to come to this conclusion. Loved both the story and the artworks…. fantastic stuff!

1 п. “Не имей сто друзей, а имей сто шекелей” тоже хорошо рифмуется 🙂
8 п. Ты никогда не потеряешь работу. Когда закончатся фотографии можно размещать рисунки (да хоть бы и конкурс объявить на лучший рисунок Одри (-:), аппликации и фотографии поделок из пластилина…
9 п. Сто пудов ! 🙂
