Ninja. The name alone conjures images of silent, deadly assassins from Feudal Japan. What do you think of when you think about ninja? Magic? Mysticism? Deadly martial arts? Vanishing acts that involve a piece of wood? My answer is: all of the above.
Thanks to Liz for this strip idea!
Ninja are probably the closest thing we have to an example of a serious modern myth in evolution. Hollywood, video games, and books all have something to say about the mysterious assassins but almost none of it is actually correct. Like most myths, there are elements of truth and because we’re closer to the real lives of these people, we can see it a bit more clearly. In a few hundred years people may not even remember what they were really like, even though ridiculous stories will still be told about them.
I guess we know a bit about why Lil K resorts to murder so often, now. His secret is revealed at last! Too bad this comic hasn’t got anything resembling continuity or this could be an incredible plot twist!
Today is my end-of-year critique for school. Once this is over I can finally relax a little bit and find some time to get things done. Buttons, mini comic, and a brand new comic will be forthcoming over the summer, not to mention a proper hub site for Studio 10kM. I am looking forward to it!
…SOMEHOW tis resembles me from Naruto. I just dont know why…:D
I would also submit that cowboys and spies are modern myths. Our depictions of them are probably more accurate than that of ninjas, but they’re a bit more recent, so maybe it balances out.
I think his zipper pull gets bigger every strip.
Pfbthahahahaha. This comic always cracks me up.
Horrible pun though, but I’ll let it slide….. this time….
*narrows eyes, vanishes, leaving behind a log*
@Marticus That is the only thing hover text is for: terrible puns that couldn’t crawl their way into the comic!
I really likes the ‘Poof’ clouds!~
Ok im proudly declaring I *almost* worked my yaw from the beginning to your latest comics tonight. They were awesome. I want a medal. You wil probably point at the shop button, amirite?
