This recipe lacks is very bland. It is also somewhat grimey because of all the cornmeal. I don't recommend this recipe...
i think i've stayed at that ramamda.
Wow, Nate, I just checked in and read the news! Congrats! I hope it turns out to be an amazing surprise and a lovely LA life for you.
NATE!!! YES!!! this is the journal-style comic I was hoping for! I was laughing out loud reading this and it made me semi-nostalgic (in a negative way?) for Los Angeles. Thanks for posting this and I hope you'll keep it up, odd schedule or not!
Any news on MoCCA???
@jon: sysco classic? ewwww.... red splotch? ewwww.. (i think it was lipstick, but still...)
@arlene: thanks! somewhat neat.. i drew this over 2-3 weeks, little tiny bits here and there, in various not-so-drawing-friendly environs, huddled over my ghetto sketchbook in lots of uncomfortable positions (mostly at diners). hard to get a good flow going w/ that sort of schedule.
That's crazy. Love the neat drawings!
great summary. was there really a red splotch on the toilet paper? yeesh!
i love that you mentioned sysco. brady and i used to joke that gracies should start getting sysco service. the other day i saw that they now have a sysco classic brand. imagine that... classic. "mmm, i miss that sysco taste that grandma used to dump out of the can." ... "you are in luck, jimmy! now you can relive that great taste!..." haha
I think "flapmeat" is my absolute new favorite word of all time.
When I saw the footage of those fires I thought of you. I'm glad your shit ain't charred! And glad you're enjoying your new town. I know you'll pry into every nook of your new hood and document the weirdness.
@alec: yeah, i've been drawing a LITTLE bit. i'll post a comic soon. haven't got tickets yet, no. still trying to decide if i can make it.
@jon: what was your good-bye fire? i don't know what crossing jordan is about either, but the set was pretty damn cool. it's amazing how detailed the sets are. that photo is of a dummy of a guy that was in a fire and is being dissected ,apparently. reminded me of the six feet under episodes where they made uber-detailed dummies for the people that died in each episode for the mortuary scenes.
this was the first time i made kimchi as soon bok got called into work (i just wrote wok, ha!) and i had to step in and do my best as a pseudo-korean honkey. it should be ready to eat tomorrow, i'm excited to try it out. (the stuff we used for this feast was just fresh from the batch, so it wasn't fermented.. but still tasty)
whoa! we *both* got welcome-to-la fires! wait, mine was a "good bye" fire i guess.
sorry to hear that the second round with the octopus didnt end up that well. eesh.
i didnt get to see the crossing jordan set (they were filming, i think). i dont know what the show is, but -- what the heck is that a photo of!? at least it matches nicely with the korean meat section of photos! ha
dang. your home-cooked meal makes me uber-jealous. yum.
NATE! Thanks for the photo dump. It's good to see some of your daily sights and hear what you think of them. Uh... glad to know the hills still catch fire every season? Hope you are finding some time to draw... Did you get a ticket to New York yet???
Congrats Nate!!! A new adventure in your life...enjoy the journey! Can't wait to hear how it's all going...we KNEW you were destined for something great...wonder if this is it?! It is pretty awesome. We are proud of you.
Thank you for your drawing, we all love it!!!
I believe that's the lovely Municipal Courthouse in Brooklyn, my friends.
Nate, Soon Bok and tag along kitty have all made it to LA safely and have started the move into a new place. Our fearless leader will update you all soon i bet!

(Sorry to abuse your comments nate!)
This whole series is amazing, but I really, really like this one. Brilliant! Would make a great T-shirt. Very impressive work and wonderful subject matter.
Damn, i can't get any 'san fran hang time,' asshole.
But on a less serious note, CONGRATS NATE! Bammy Fresh told me about a week ago or so. I'm [whisper]proud[/whisper] of you. -punches arm]
My initial reaction was the same as my moms, short tree.
....YEAH..HEY, WAIT A MINUTE....
awesome, i'll b-there.
