I was on the verge of stealing your thunder and going with the storytime myself.
But then I realised that I have no idea how Space Usagi was published and where to start, because I'm an ignorant peasant.

Weren't those coloured?

I'm just using the Legends book by dark horse

I think so, or at least some chapters. but this is the best quality I got and I like black and white better anyway

>Space Usagi, you got your position because of nepotism
>but good job

I wonder how Sakai drew the third panel's effect.

Ah, my favourite style of Usagi. I'm glad we got to see it again.

It was the will of the Gods that he lives. Heh...Heh...Heh...

it looks like ink splatter. no idea how he did it

Got a agricultural mech instead of back breaking labor, so it evens out.

>rabbit lord promoting rabbit samurai
Try not to make the species favoritism so obvious guys

I get how grooming your future ruler into someone who listens to you is a benefit, but are there any immediate perks for the extra babysitting job?

You can't escape Feudal Japan
Not even in Future Space Japan

Direct access to the current lord, prestige, it's probably pretty easy

>still a peasant
Such is life in futuristic Japan.

ENTER

Blatant nepotism is blatant.

The contrast between detailed face of Hideaki and and the simplistic cartoon-y mug of Kiyoshi amuses me.

Good to see you Murderanon. It's midnight here, so I'll catch up in the morning- but I'm just some anonymous jerk anyway, so you shouldn't miss me.

Great, now they're ACTUALLY invisible!

don't be like that, we're all anonymous jerks
hopefully the thread survives until tomorrow

this is pre digital, so I'm betting brush splatter using a sumi brush, reversed using a xerox machine, then he paints the planets, spaceships, and space castle.

He uses a brush for some of his fancier lettering and landscapes.

And the lords still have no entertainment better than hunting. Future feudal Japan is so disappointing.

Fucking political marraige bullshit.

at least kabuki is more popular than noh theater now

>have immensely advanced tech
>still choose to live like feudal lords and samurai
For what purpose

So that's your way to keep swords relevant, Sakai...

don't knock arranged marriages until you've tried them.

Attached: The Usagi Yojimbo Saga - Legends-042.jpg (1988x3056, 2.68M)

Such is the nature of future feudal japan.

Gaki energy.

That is a very exploitable smug expression on Matabe.

muh bushido vs good heart

Hmmm... do you the first panel here counts towards "vertical panels in the style of illustrations on folding fans"?

Attached: The Usagi Yojimbo Saga - Legends-046.jpg (1988x3056, 2.56M)

>Bastard!
Such harsh language. Cut out his tongue.

sure. SPACE folding fan

Attached: The Usagi Yojimbo Saga - Legends-047.jpg (1988x3056, 2.85M)

Then I'll also count this and this for the total of 48

With our luck, the thread will probably hit bump limit in a day.

Or until your wife poisons you.

Guess it's a way of showing age.
Isn't it kinda the same with the main series?
