  This is the new page but I inserted here... Mumu finds it pleasant to hear Pompo singing WHILE he's trying to solve a math problem. If I were Mumu, that would annoy the hell outta me. But I guess he really loves to hear him sing...

  Maybe I should insert a page before where he solves the math questions... Pompo chan's shape is changing every page. It's so ridiculous.

  Finally this is somewhat relatable. Coz I can't enjoy cooking or washing dishes but listening to music makes them a little less stressful... I absolutely can't draw a kitchen or a sink... It's kinda sad to see Mumu call himself slow-minded. But I also need that small detail because I want him to be bilingual. And as a result, he's a little slower to think in English. I haven't made any pages about it but I can already say he doesn't like speaking Japanese. That's because all of his memories related to it is associated with Laichi, his real dad and naturally they're all painful.

 version 1 I can't draw their legs well. Also I don't like neither of their expressions on the last panel.  Looking creepy. I feel there are too many eating scenes of them in my comic. In real life, I don't like eating. I find eating very painful. I absolutely can't relate to Pompo chan these days although he was my self insertion when I first made him. Also all of his positive traits like being jolly and caring don't apply to me so it's getting harder for me to understand him or come up with his lines. But somehow those two just having fun makes me feel a little warm inside. So I wanna continue as far as I can. version 2 version 3

 Hey, I made 1.5 pages? today. Gotta fix the 3rd panel as Pompo chan is not supposed to hold the paper there... which I didn't realize until now for some reason. Only in my comic universe can a taco be merged with primary school math homework. Ah yeah I struggle to draw the kitchen. I hate it. fixed

Hey sorry for reposting this page. No changes are made. I just put this one here coz this... chapter? feels more complete with this page. So urm... I actually want them to reappear... (Sorry not sorry.) I couldn't quite decide how their personalities should be. So there will be some changes maybe... Dude, it's such a shame... They deserve their own series! I just realized the same layout was used at the beginning of this post... Oh man. I guess this is it. This is the end ! It's so creepy how this page forshadowed my real-life event. 2 days after I finished this page, I had to show my comic to my parent. I didn't want to. But I HAD TO because printing at a shop costs me too much now. I feel I want them to be happy although I usually like sad endings better. By the way, remember what I said earlier on this blog? I said remember how big Pompo looked compared to Mumu. Here, he looks much bigger than these two below. Well of course the body-to-face ratio is different so th...

  I'll just.. go with this idea anyways... I believe this should be tolerated when the overall tone of the comic has become fun and very cartoony. Even the sunflower is offensive tbh. Terry's design is a more accurate depiction of a tanuki with the facial marking actually resembling a one in real life... I don't have much to say about her.  Anyway, I love ironic stories. And the dad is full of that. He's the manliest one but his personal color is pink. He's a rudo, but he's very sweet... Yeah I guess you get the idea. I changed the name of the brother. It's now Rodrigo. What does this change do? Well nothing I thought Ray was too short compared to the rest of his family and I think him having the longest name is actually a good metaphor for his personality. Boy, he looks evil as hell due to his facial marking... (which can be said to all of his family though.) Rosita... I wanted to give her blonde hair like her mother but I thought it will stand out too much...
