  1. If you find yourself in Zürich and want a tour of Google (sorry, no umlauts), holler. I love your comics and I'd be happy to show you around.

    1. Wow! Cool! I didn't even know they had Google in Zurich. I mean, I don't see why they wouldn't...but I never thought about it. Nice, thanks! Be careful what you offer, you just got yourself a tour guest.

    2. Hey, actually...! What about giving a talk (do you do that kind of thing)?? The Google Zurich office is stuffed full of expats, I'm sure they would love to hear about your comic.

  3. My home city, when written in katakana, begins with a smiley face. It's always a happy "welcome home!" when I reach Narita airport and find my connection on the departures board!

    1. Nice! That would suck if your home town began with a frowny face.
