Usagi Yojimbo #160 cover

Why does Inspector Ishida have two different mons? One is the usual Y and the other kind of looks like an asterisk.

Because I forgot which way the mon is supposed to be and first drew it upside down. It did not look right, and drew it correctly on the other side. This image is from the first pass in inking (out of 5), and it was corrected in the final pass. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

I'll post a step-by-step of the entire process on my FaceBook page in a couple of days.

I couldn't find a thread dedicated to "Which issue are we up to?"

For some reason my LCS didn't get #160 in for me. It has been released, right?

And as far as I can discern this was the last issue that has been released. So we haven't seen any new issues in 2017?

(Not trying to seem ungrateful; I've been snapping up all the Saga releases, but I live rurally and only make my way into the city to buy comics occassionally. I was initially afraid I'd missed a bunch; I'm just trying to figure out where I should be up to.)

Any help would be appreciated.

A couple weeks ago, Stan posted on Facebook that "UY 161 will be out in September with 162 to follow the next month."

Thanks Mayhem. My LCS should be able to get it back in, but I appreciate you looking out for me.
