This is such a good story – and the drawings are amazing!
This comic had me checking my eyes for sanpaku!
this was so beautiful and cool
yes meditation and eating as a sacred act, that’s part of why I’m vegetarian- most meat taken without reverence for the animals lives. Also because meat affects meditation. I suggest that everyone try some of the many kinds of meditation!
I love reading your comics Kate. the (shared) filipino heritage is heartwarming and nice – i rarely see an artist own up to it as much as you have <3 it's always nice to see some representation
Note to 17candles: Another awesome Filipina comix lady is Lynda Barry…and she owns it with a vengeance! You simply must read her stuff!
I’ve never heard of sanpaku before, which is kind of ashaming since I majored in Japanese studies…. :D
But the chewing your food 30 times thing is really common here in Japan btw. It’s supposed to be good for your health and for dieting.
