Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Enjoyed the issue, but I can't help thinking five issues will be too short for this.

Fraggin' awesome! I can't wait to buy this!

... It's lovely. I'm curious about one thing -- Oishi appears to be Asano's chief retainer. Why then does he (and one or two others) wear a different crest from Asano and Asano's samurai? Is he of the noble instead of the samurai caste? And if so, why would he have joined Asano rather than his own f...

Almost caught up with the latest UY issues. Have recently read the Sakura stories about a whip-armed gambler, and comparing this with other gambling houses we've seen, I'm starting to wonder what the point of gambling is in Usagi's Japan if the only game is guessing whether the dice will be odd or e...

My thoughts are with you both.

Saw it at a regular theater -- though you may have better luck at an arthouse. I think it came out in February, so it may no longer be available. I liked it, though I was surprised to find that the Zero itself does not appear until the end of the film. The movie is really about designer Jiro Hirokos...

A preliminary sketch that I may someday expand to actually make Usagi recognizable, if I can't meet Stan at a convention someday and commission him to do it himself! A bit of background: This is a crossover with a Keith Ferris painting of Saburo Sakai, as depicted in his memoir Samurai! Sakai was a ...

I've only just gotten back into UY again and haven't heard much about what's going on with Stan. Sounds serious, though, and my sympathies are with him. I've never been to any convention other than local store ones, but SDCC is one I might get to at some point, since I have family living in San Dieg...

Picked up Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy yesterday -- short but sweet (make that awesome)! Still powering through UY back issues to catch up to the current storyline (just finished Book 25). As I was reading everything so quickly, back to back, I noticed something about the female Samurai in this co...

Is it by any chance possible to commission something from Stan? I've had an idea in my head for a decade plus. One of these days I may get to SDCC to ask in person, but I doubt it. I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask. I don't see anywhere on the site that discusses it, but it's a big site ...

Digging back into Usagi Yojimbo after a sadly long hiatus. I just finished one of the UY Color Specials, that shows how Tomoe became Noriyuki's bodyguard. She and several other ladies of the court are armed with naginatas as part of their duties to his mother. I'm curious to know how common this was...
