So the other night I saw a roach in my kitchen. At least I think it was a roach. It was kind of small, so it looked more like a brown june bug. Roaches kind of freak me out, so I went out to buy some traps.
In Buddhism, killing insects is a pretty big thing. Early Buddhist monks used staffs to scare away any bugs they might potentially step on. Jon Porcellino’s Diary of a Misquito Abatement Man cronicles a man’s newfound love of Buddhism and its conflicts with being a professional insect killer. So going out and buying roach poison is not something I feel easy with. So I thought I’d make a comic about it.
I always feel nervous about making these kinds of comics. I feel like I’m spreading misunderstanding by writing about stuff I don’t fully understand. Hopefully, I will gain a greater understanding of this over time.
This is the wackiest comic about FUTURE ANTIQUE ROADSHOW ever!!!
Yeah, every time I get ready to do a Future Antique Roadshow comic, I come up with a better idea (or an idea I want to do more).
I like this. But Future Antique Roadshow sounds funny too. I’m so torn, I don’t know what I want!
Well, our lat Saint Paul comic jam had Futuristic Antique Roadshow as the theme, so there’s always that.
Yeah, leave it to me for not posting that jam. What an ass!
