BACK IN BUSINESS: SHINTARO KAGO DAILY STRIPS

Back in business! I wrote 3 posts over the pasts few days, but thought Shintaro Kago daily strips was the way to start. If you were in Japan this past weekend, perhaps you got to meet Kago himself; He was holding down a booth at Design Festa, as witnessed by my buddy David (of the fantastic SEIBEI apparel fame) and Chris from The Beguiling.

Next up after this is another installment of "The Manga Story" essays, reprinted from the late '80s, followed by the first (fucking FINALLY) post of manga reports from my 2010 Tokyo trip. Let's get things going again with 7 gaga comics about errr unique plant cultivation & husbandry ideas, via his site. My translations are, as always, presented below. Enjoy!

Monday - Cornea transplant farm


Tuesday - Meatpacking green peppers(??)
（Saving time & labor in the refinement of meats by remodeling small animals as peppers!）


Wednesday - Ready-to-slice tamago chicken!


Thursday - Kidney transplant farming technique


Friday - Salted beef tongue cultivation


Saturday - Breastfeeder part-time job


Sunday - Transcendental subspace vagina


(You can check out all the previous Kago strips by clicking the daily strips label)

HAPPY TUESDAY FROM SHINTARO KAGO

I've got more "Early Manga Days" essays and report from my Tokyo trip coming soon, I promise. In the meantime, Shintaro Kago has posted another lovely 7-panel wordless gag manga by Shintaro Kago. This was taken from the Daily Manga page of his site:









Kago also posted another 12 originals on his drawings for sale page as well; these are pricier, actual comic pages that are a bit more extreme and gnarly, for the discerning fan. Check 'em out-- if you dare!
