So many video games have a healing spring that this was kinda irresistible. I wanted to change up the setting a little, anyway, and I was psyched to draw Dogen & Lennon. Did you see John Hawkes in Eastbound & Down? He’s like a walking cartoon character already! I love him.
Thank you very much to my friends Ellison & Jason for the Japanese lessons! I’m sure I murdered the translation.
I hope everybody picked up their LOST Complete Collection DVD/BD sets this week. The epilogue and bonus features made me laugh, cry, and shout at my television all over again. I love it so hard!
I’m sure if Mikhail had gotten more screen time we would have found that good ol’ Giacchino-fueled-tuggin’-at-the-heart-strings empathy LOST is so good at even for him. What he did to Charlie is dastardly, but I still love him.
I realize I’m playing around with the timeline a little, but it’s silly, and technically possible (see s3e23 “Through the Looking Glass Part 2″).
The last 3 panels were originally intended as a bonus follow-up strip for later, but I liked the way it played right after the first part, so I put it all together! Yay!
