Now, a Return to the Main Topic: Sea Turtles and Southern Italy

【 The sea turtles are also worried 】

【Baby Turtles】

8/2008
It seems that an unusual happening occurred in which a number of baby sea turtles went astray at a coastal restaurant in Calabria, Italy.

Since Calabria has always put great efforts in the protection of these precious sea turtles, this news became quite the talk of town locally

【Calabria】

A region rich in natural resources at the “toe” part of the boot-shaped Italy.
Olive cultivation is very prosperous there.
Spanish influence is strong in this area and the region’s dialect is a hybrid of Spanish and Italian.

It’s also a place where you will find many sightseeing spots famous for strange and beautiful streets that look like the buildings have descended from the cliffs.

But you’ll have to hold your rucksack like this!

【SSC Napoli】

This is a soccer team from the city of Naples, Italy.
In the past it was a famous team that won a lot of championships.
By the way, in the year the turtle incident occurred, they ranked 12th in Series A.

The nice products that come from Scandinavia are…

【Licorice Candy】

Black candy eaten often in Denmark, Norway,
and Iceland that uses a very sweet plant called licorice.
If you eat it without knowing what it is,
you can see aurora- a Nordic-made berserker.

It is sold in candy vending machines in America,
in cute packages, looking like red gummy which makes you think that it’s candy.
But if you eat it thinking it’s candy, you go through hell.

※Candy Vending Machine
Very useful vending machine that’s in every American dorm
or school which sells mini-sized candy whenever you want it at around 50~200 Yen.

【Nordic Joke】

Probably because the five Nordic countries have too variant and interesting personalities, there are quite a lot of jokes.

WBC

Canada-san in the WBC

□Who are you!?! Special Attack Team Italy□

Italy’s team is mostly made up of Non-Italians.

[T/N: For those who don’t know, here’s some info on the World Baseball Classic.
Since I certainly didn’t know what “WBC” stood for before doing this… *doesn’t care about sports*
Also, I don’t know why Canada kept changing Kumajiro’s name. I simply enjoyed it.]

Wait! Lunar New Year!


Hello, if you’ll notice, the Lunar New Year has ended! I’m Himaruya Hidekazu.

Every year during the Lunar New Year, a bunch of stands get set up in Chinatown and dragons parade around, so if you’re ever in NY during the Lunar New Year, make sure to stop by!
Every year, that kind of stuff [in the drawing] is being sold at the shops and I always wanna buy it, but every year I’m just let loose…


Part of a rough draft of Romano. Romano’s so easy to draw, I love it.
