Here we go again 🙂 Originally launched 2 years ago, the strip format was challenging but ultimately limiting. I was also writing in a descriptive, expository style. Which is cool, except it’s not terribly exciting for me. So I changed the writing style to be more personal. This time completing the page took a couple […]
Never forget: #Pornban 2015

Apparently, my childhood is incomplete because I completely missed a comic book starring Amitabh Bachchan. This man was my idol back when I watched Indian movies – and I only watched his movies, for the most part. I figure that I missed it because it sold out and TV was very limited there in the […]
