Aloha! Here's my latest Calabash comic strip in today's Honolulu Star-Advertiser newspaper! •Many of you who follow me online know about the whole chaos when I was drawing this strip. I was only half finished when my cat, Zori, showed up covered in motor oil so I had to hurry and wrap this up since I had to both tend to the cat AND the deadline was in a couple hours! •Looking at it now, it seems okay ^_^; •BTW a LOT of these random gags usually happen spontaneously BECAUSE it's so last-minute to the deadlines - lol 😊 Keep smiling and stay safe, all! 😀 #jonjmurakami #calabash #comcistrip #comic #cartoon #sundaycomics #staradvertiser #airguitar #ukulele #hawaii https://www.instagram.com/p/Cps2aDpvHIx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aloha, all! Here's my Calabash comic in today's Honolulu @staradvertiser newspaper • This was similar to an actual conversation with some of my buddies, who are as local as they get... Everyone seems to enter the "pidgin" mode when one guy speaks. We discussed how to spell certain things since Pidgin English is more of a spoken language than a written one... ...Which led to the joke about spelling GRINDS (Grindz? Grinz?) •Good Kine Grinds = Good kind of food, or Good food. •Brok da Mout' = Food that tastes so good that it breaks your mouth. •Keep smiling and have a great weekend, all! 😊 #jonjmurakami #comic #comicstrip #cartoon #hawaii #staradvertiser #hawaii #local #pidginenglish #grindz #brokedamouth https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRKpK9vhvq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aloha, all! Here's my Calabash comic strip in today's Honolulu @staradvertiser newspaper •I couldn't help it. Since last week, my social media feeds have been FLOODED with posts of the return of the Mexican Pizza from @tacobell ^_^; •re: Taro Pies. Hawai‘i @mcdonalds are the only ones in the US that still FRY their pies instead of BAKING. We also get a variety of seasonal flavors like Taro, Haupia (Coconut), Guava, Pineapple, and many others for a limited time. •Keep smiling and stay safe, all! 🙂 #jonjmurakami #comic #comicstrip #cartoon #sundaycomicstrip #calabash #staradvertiser #hawaii #tacobell #mexicanpizza #mcdonalds #hawaii #taropie https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd30JY0P32p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aloha, all! Here's my latest Calabash comic strip featured in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser newspaper! Not only is this a fun toon about how our cat, Zori, sits anywhere she wants... it's also to wish my girlfriend, GWEN, *** HAPPY BIRTHDAY! *** (and yes, Zori sat on some of Gwen's Pokèmon cards...) •I'm very fortunate to have a really cool editor to allow me to print things like this. (In case you missed it - read the first letter of each line of text in the word bubbles) Working on the dialogue took MUCH longer than it normally does, but I wanted to have the strip both entertaining for those who didn't know and keep the hidden message so secretly everyone who reads the paper knows it's Gwen birthday 😊 #jonjmurakami #cartoon #comic #comicstrip #calabash #cat #cats #happybirthdaygwen #newspapercomic #staradvertiser #honolulustaradvertiser #catsittingonthings #catsmarkingterritory https://www.instagram.com/p/CPOq97RjReb/?utm_medium=tumblr
