Re: Is it time to reprint Albedo 2?

Wasn't there something about the shading technique Stan did on Albedo #2 that was somehow impossible to reproduce? I remember reading something about that a LONG while back.

Re: Usagi Merchandise and Prints!

I would love a wider selection of T-shirts. I can never have enough of those!

BTW there are a few unofficial Usagi Tees being sold on Amazon right now. You might want to check it out...

Re: Usagi in the next TMNT Movie?

The back issue comic book market right now is driven entirely by speculation over upcoming movies and TV show episodes. So many ebay auctions speculate that characters might be appearing in upcoming shows and films without any evidence behind them. It's what sells, so why bother with messy things li...

Re: 2017 Convention Schedule

Hoping you'll do at least one appearance in the Mid-West in 2017. We're looking forward to seeing you at Cartoon Crossroads in October.


By the way, is it okay for me to share this list over at the Dojo Annex?

Re: Grasscutter

Have either of you tried taking this matter to ebay? They have a series of buyer protections in place precisely to ensure this kind of thing doesn't happen.

Re: UY Dojoboard Forum Update Happening! Plus Update

Looking great! I love the idea of the Dojo and the Dojo Annex actually looking like sister sites :D I have completely forgotten to check the Doji Annex. But this message made me take a peek. You all are doing a great job over there. I look forward to checking it out more often. Peace, maka Thanks, ...

Re: How long Usagi has been wandering

I was rereading some old stories, and noticed that in "Samurai part 8" (so, towards the beginning of the series), when telling the story of the Adachigahara Battle to Gen, Usagi mentions it was 2 years ago. It is consistent with Usagi being wandering for about 9-10 years in the latest sto...

Re: How long Usagi has been wandering

10 years? This brings up another question: Where does he get the new kimonos? His original must have worn out by now. Plus, I guess you gotta find a tailor willing to embroider a defunct mon. :D I'd actually wondered that before. However, I do think it could still be the same outfit. In the Europea...

How long Usagi has been wandering

I originally posted this over at the Dojoboard Annex , but I realize some folks here have not seen it. Essentially, I went about trying to figure out exactly how many years have passed between the Battle at Adachi Plain and the present day of Usagi. Here's what I did and the conclusion I arrived at:...

There is a "secret" to the swords that Usagi does not know about.
Probably the most exciting thing you've ever said to me, Stan!

Re: Usagi's Daisho: Yagi-No-Eda and Aoyagi

I still hope we'll eventually learn how those swords ended up as prizes to be awarded by Lord Mifune. Assuming they were used by one or more samurai prior to this point (as "Daisho" suggested), wouldn't it be important to Usagi to know the story of the person or people from whom he had inh...

Definitely looking forward to the Usagi Chibi doll!

By the way, it's been a few days since I dropped in. The new look is definitely a step in the right direction!

Re: I recently read all of UY. What should I read now?

Don Rosa has mentioned he frequently feels belittled and even harassed at American cons by folks who have no idea what his work is and just assume he's doing Disney or DuckTales fan art or some such (as opposed to being overseas, where Donald/Scrooge are some of the most beloved and widely know com...
