Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

I wasn't prepared to offer up a search game this week so here's something I've done before. Match the artists with their Usagi art. If you get 4 out of 5 you will be entered once and if you get all five correct you will be entered twice into this week's contest.

BONUS QUESTION: When Stan's pen of choice was phased out, how many year's supply did he purchase? You'll receive one entry if you can answer this question.

Send me a PM matching the numbers to the letters.

1 - Rob Guillory (Chew)
2 - Skottie Young (I Hate Fairyland)
3 - Ryan Ottley (Invincible)
4 - Franco (Tiny Titans)
5 - Chad Thomas (TMNT Animated)

A - Chad Thomas (TMNT Animated)


B - Ryan Ottley (Invincible)


C - Rob Guillory (Chew)


D - Skottie Young (I Hate Fairyland)


E - Franco (Tiny Titans)

I've received my first 5 out of 5 response.

The answer to the bonus question can be found on multiple websites in video form.

OOPS! Did I say that out loud?

That was supposed to be sent in a PM.

I hate trying to post messages through my phone!

Steve would know. peace, maka

Only if I read the question right. For some reason, I was thinking of ink and not pens....

There are multiple correct answers for my Bonus Question. A certain Usagi historian pointed it out to me.

So, the answer can be found here on the DojoBoard and in videos across the World Wide Web.

Thanks to everyone that played. Especially those that gave it the old college try.

The artist's names have been added to their art above. The bonus question had two answers. I was looking for 25 years, but I also accepted 30.

I was basing my answer on the AnimePlay video from 2004, but I also excepted the 30-ish years answer in an an interview with Julinda Morrow in 2012.

This is great video if you haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf-ClzImAKA Or you can just jump to 3:30 when Stan starts to discuss the pens.

"The pen that I use was discontinued almost 20 years ago, and I still haven’t found a good substitute for it. Fortunately, I still have about another 10-year supply of barrels and nibs."

Now for the fun part.....The winner is 4 (Trevis Woods) Congratulations!

If interested, I will send you these two items donated by Dantes Verlag. Steve had won them in a prior contest, but since he already owned them he decided to graciously offer them to the next Dojo member that won one of my contests.

The first one is a postcard and the second is a sticker.

Congrats Travis! Gaffey let me know that I got zero correct out of the five AND bonus question. Maybe I'll do better in the next contest. Peace, maka

Awesome!...I would love to have that sticker and post card as I do not have any of those yet.
I will PM my address to you.
Thanks!!!
I will try to get a new question posted by end of day tomorrow.
Sorry I have a crazy work schedule this week but I will get something posted
