JK: There’s a real turn in the ole middle panel here. Wow, his joy is interrupted by the animal’s joy, you know, for some reason, over here. You can definitely tell that. And then, he gets serious. So serious.
AM: Naruto has big furry energy. Also: two whole watermarks, for two different manga pirating websites. Absolutely unbelievable. It baffles me that sites like Mangastream, Mangahere, Mangafox—all of them—have the gall to watermark manga pages as though they own them. As a comic book writer myself, I know how hard it is to get to a point where you can make a living off your art work. Artists and writers can spend days working on singular pages of their books, endlessly reformatting and redrawing. And then when they finally get their book out, places like Mangastream/here/fox just scan them and upload them, depriving the creators of the profit that they deserve. Folks, if you like manga, comics, or really any entertainment medium, make sure you’re getting it from an official, legal source. Actually support the people who make these things.
