The blog is alive! Taxicabs, cats and love fights.

Self-gratifying photo of the week:

Ahoy Miyazaki fans, The Cat Returns/Neko no Ongaeshi is just too precious not to see. It's almost as light and dreamy as My Neighbor Totoro though not quite as dark as Spirited Away. Watch it, preferably with kitty on your lap.

I finally got my hands on Andi Watson's Love Fights vol. 1. I don't think I can ever say anything bad about his stuff and this book is certainly not an exception. Relationship issues in a world where real superheroes exist? Alright, Spiderman and Superman tackled that too but then again how can you say no to the man who wrote Breakfast After Noon? Besides, this is most definitely no mainstream (read: Marvel and the like) comic -- it's light and funny and there are no overly-muscular-heroes-in-tights type characters. (Oh, and BAN fans will get a special treat somewhere towards the end of Love Fights vol. 1). Bitin nga lang, I can hardly wait for vol. 2 to come out.
