I turned 50 myself, on May 25.

I don't see Peter often, mostly because we live on opposing coasts. However, we have one of those friendships that whenever we do see each other, it's like no time at all had elapsed since the last time. The only reminders of time passing are our thinning hair and growing kids. One of the big incentives for my going back east was to see Peter again, and to ride one of his 15 segways. There will be a similar photo on the back cover of an upcoming issue of UY.

I see Kevin Eastman once or twice a year, at conventions.

I've been doing Usagi for 20 years. There was another character that predates Usagi called Nilson Groundthumper. I've also worked with other peoples' characters in limited runs or one-shots--Riblet, Grendel, Nocturnals, and Simpsons to name a few.

Hiyeeeeeeeeeee!! I'm new here, but I've read Usagi Yojimbo for a long time now. Also caught him on the turtles a couple of times!!! I came to this site about two years ago and nothing was happening, never came back-SORRY! I came in search of fans of the genre, and the master sensei himself!!! And, I found them! Heh! Mr. Sakai, My brother and I are working on a comic right now too, we want your opinion on something. Do you think comics over the internet, like you read them on a website instead of there in your hand, are a good thing? It's cheaper than trying to make them at COPYWORKS (Money grubbing-Grrrs!) And no one has to publish it, nya? On the other hand, there's nothing there to hang onto! We're torn about the whole thing, it's not like the comic is gonna get rave reviews on a newstand anyhow, but still. Would you work on the internet medium, or stick with the old paper and blue pencil?

P.S. I am 22 today, and I still don't know squat!!

Biyeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D
Do you like Sushi? :D
