Palouse Comic Con next week-end

The first Palouse Comic Con in Pullman, Washington, Feburary 1, 2014.
I'll be there, hopefully with an armload of my comics and probably also several copies of my game.

I may go wild and include some of my older stuff in a bound edition, i.e., Mr Peabody and such.

More comics coming out HERE, probably tomorrow! Stay tuned...!

Last Two Japanese Classes

Jokes

Pronunciation issues

These two are tricky -- is this a correct relativization of the possessive? "That is the dentist whose daughter I went to the movies with"

Do I need to use the honorific to differentiate that I went out with the dentist's daughter, and not my own daughter?

Uniquely-Expressive Japanese Words

Five words in Japanese that have no equivalent in English.

I will try to upload pictures of the chalkboard from the last two classes -- I am having trouble finding a way to get the pictures off of my iPhone easily to my PC (Windows 8.1 -- I guess the home edition does not automatically see the iPhone).

Even Between Japanese Friends

Some Japanese Sayings:

Good manners even between friends. (Jp:親しき仲にも礼儀あり。 Shitashiki naka-ni-mo reigi ari.)

The nail that sticks gets hammered down. (Jp:出る釘は打たれる。 Deru kugi-wa utareru.)

Food before romance. (Jp:色気より食気。 Iroke yori kuike.)

I've also heard: 花より団子 (hana yori dango)

...see you all next week!! I think I will upload some pictures of the chalkboard from last class today (or soon...!)

I still want to find the "There is no arguing with a crying child or a government official" which is something like 泣き子と監督は問えず (naki-ko to kantoku ha toezu). I think that's right but please check it out!!

Don't forget 猿も木から落ちる or Goにも筆怪し (Mr. Go was a famous Japanese caligrapher -- I don't know his name kanji -- look it up for class!!)
