Daily Sketchbook Chapter

Thanks as always.
Could be this considered art theft?

I think this page is too Japanese for me.

Translations have been stalled for a couple years now. I don't think there are any available raws.

There may be some effort underway to restart TLs.

thanks OP

Ah, so that's why Kamiya had Ooba test out her silent ball and cup.

Literally my cats.

I knew someone who had this problem. Somehow they decided the "solution" was to get three more cats.

Introductory chapter of Ooba and Kuma
this is a strong one

When will the catfish whiskers arc continue?

"coin for the cat", is like "pearls before swine"?

there isn't room to swing a cat is similar bu I guess a larger area
I can't think of a smaller english equivalent

It will depend on whether OP wants to do Shucchouban or volume 3 first

This kind of thing always happens when the cats are in heat.

I think Shucchouban belongs between 3 and 4.

Literally my neighborhood.

Do pandas eat fish? I thought one of the reason they were such a pain in the ass to look after was because they only ate a special kind of bamboo?

Thanks OP.

They don't. You can't expect realism out of Kuga, especially with stolen art.

>I thought one of the reason they were such a pain in the ass to look after was because they only ate a special kind of bamboo
They are. While the joke was that the painting was originally a bear, the panda may eat things like meat if there's no bamboo nearby.

hunting or carrion?

Does a heavier ball make it easier or harder?

I don't think a small change would make any difference. Material and how much it would bounce seems more important.

I'm just hypostesising that a less dense material has lower inertia, a denser material while be less affected by knocks changing its trajectory.
of course it could backfire and elasticity of collision will make a major difference too

A cute cat

My refrigerator identifies with this comic.
Dear supermarkets, stop making everything jumbo-size and value-size. Not everyone is trying to feed a family or stock up for a zombie apocalypse.

The worst is sweets. I just want one piece of cake as a treat, not one bigger than my head.

And when they do have single serving options they're only $2 cheaper than the full size. I'd be throwing my money away not to buy the big one even if it does get stale before I finish that'd be five or six helpings for only slightly more than the cost of one.
My heart belongs to Sora. But Hazuki lives in my head.

>My heart belongs to Sora. But Hazuki lives in my head.
Same.

Hazuki would worry about it so much that she just wouldn't buy anything.

Thanks, user! Nice chapter today (or rather yesterday).

>It's actually just a cat.
But is it?

I relate heavily to Kuga and Asaka on very personal levels to the point where it makes me sad.

It's a weird irony the only ones that care about having fewer babies tend to be the ones driving themselves extinct whilst in other parts of the globe that arguably really ought to be having fewer kids due to overpopulation some are having over 20 kids...

especially species we've selected for this trait like most pets.

Nice.

>species we've selected for this trait like most pets
You mean like spiders, frogs and snakes?

cats and dogs far outnumber other pet species

Can you blame them? Babies look like golems for about the first two years.

>cats and dogs far outnumber other pet species
But spiders are cuter!

>Babies look like golems
Golems? Those Jewish clay-giants? Are you sure that's what you meant instead of something smaller like, maybe, goblins?

Yes, I meant goblins. Either way, not cute.

In rich countries having children is expensive
In poor countries having more children is useful because they can do work to earn money to support the family

I just wish rich countries would stop importing 3rd worlders from violent countries, they run the serious risk of completely destabilising their societies.

also they tend to deprive those countries of their most brilliant minds.

So we should all just stay where we're born? Stuck in some kind of class system?

I'm not saying that, but rapidly importing large numbers of a foreign culture can rapidly subvert a host culture this has lead to civil wars in the past.
I feel it would be better to improve local institutions and improve conditions that way than to impose the potentially prohibitive costs of integration because that can get very expensive very fast.

meant for there are some arguments around a class system but they tend to be about how class systems naturally develop and what function they play in various cultures. but I'm not going to go beyond my relatively shallow knowledge of that issue.
I know their are some bizarre counterintuitive effects that can happen to a society as it grows more technologically complex.

I just rememberer that yutanpo fag, did he commit suicide?

I'm somewhat regretting the deviation into international migration politics I suspect janitors and mods might get a little over excited. then again a previous sketchbook thread had a discussion of the best way to build with skeletons...

That's kind of why I'm not going to debate it any further, it's not the right place. And building with skeletons is art, so it's almost on topic.

I think wrist and ankle bones might be the key to successful construction strategies, they could work well as plugs

>I think wrist and ankle bones might be the key to successful construction strategies
No. The key to construction are the large parts that make up the fundament and ... well ... "skeleton" of your construction. The hip bone and the rib cage, mainly.
Of course, you can also make constructs from thinner and longer arm and leg bones. Chairs, for example, should mostly use those.

the small bones could be used to avoid wobble, just wedge them into gaps.
obviously I think we're going to end up needing to use some wire in places.

FOR WHAT REASON

>needing to use some wire
Not necessarily. We can just tan some skin and use that. That way, we also have less waste.

could you be a little more specific?

I'm his predecessor.

What if instead of human bones we used readily available livestock bones?
you can buy then pretty cheap plus they're much more angular and sustantial than most human bones.

Not going to do as much in the "intimidate your enemies" department. You really need the psychological factor.

>intimidate your enemies
"Intimidate them first, turn them into furniture later", as my father used to say ...

I guess though after googling cattle bones I'm now quite hungry, there are too many recipes for bone marrow or beef bone soup

see the real trick to building with skeletons is to get the one's that build, you just need a couple decently skilled necromancers to get you going.

>building with skeletons
We're not building with skeletons, we're building FROM skeletons. Big difference!

What an alpha cat, getting its own "doooo-n" sound effect.

Ok get the raised skeletons to build stuff from skeletons. maybe send a few on an architecture or fine arts course

I feel like I really learned something today. Thanks, sensei.

>get the raised skeletons to build stuff from skeletons
Isn't that a bit macabre though? Like canibalism, just with bones ...

Why? we have a low labour force but millions of skeletons just lying around after the famines and plagues might as well put cheap labour to use.

That what they said about Africans back then.
Let's not repeat history, user. Skeletons should have rights too!

You're worried the skeletons might stage a revolt?

Of course, Skeletons deserves rights as well.

All skeletons or just the magically re-animated skeletons?

Stop being racist, user!

Reminder that there's a skeleton inside you RIGHT NOW.

That's very offensive, there could be jellyfish posting here.

There has to be a dilineation or we'll never get anywhere.

>there could be jellyfish posting here.
Are there any jellyfish that are over 18 years old?

what about Anemonaes they're technically immortal.

When I die, I wanna be a skeleton.

>I wanna be a skeleton.
You can't. I've heard that when you die, your Seoul gets separated from your skeleton. So the latter won't really be you.

Like a sardine that's been eaten except for the head.

Any kind of attack they make will take 10 minutes until they explained it.

Generally spending a lot of time in a public place like a store is a hazard when you're a demon lord.

It's interesting how these threads are significantly more active than Aria or YKK were despite Sketchbook being way less popular. I guess more people follow these threads because fewer people have read the manga.

Thank you, OP.

Episodicness is the key factor.

>Episodicness
Isn't the word "episodicity"?

episodicness =/= episodicity

episomally

Not to be confused with episodicnecessity.

>episodicnecessity
Do you mean "episodic necessity"?

episodicity is more of a scientific term
episodicness is more appropriate sounding for entertainment.

So "episodicity" is all about scienceness while "episodicness" is about entertainicity? Got it!

the connotations are different but I don't want to labour the difference to explain what I meant

there's a video I just found on youtube called uroko

They've both got to be into something much stranger. Like knees.

Knees? Not even kneepits? You know, like armpits!

No, the side-front. Like when they're sitting with their knees pulled up toward their chest.

>Like when they're sitting with their knees pulled up toward their chest.
That's hot, but only because they're squishing their breasts that way.

You have to wonder the odds if two of us live close by and don't know it.

>Focus only on the knees.
How am I supposed to focus on the knees when there's squishy boobies (of DFC) and arse in their direct vicinity?

Lots of training and discipline.

Going outside to meet anons is advanced internet technique

Don't say that, user. That's not the real you. This comfy manga has a bad influence on you.

Can't decide on my favorite Sketchbook between Kuri and Kami

Probably because it's Kuga.

>that's because English is the standard language
That must be one of the best skits in Sketchbook. I think about it frequently.

Thanks, OP.

That one also struck me. I would say it's uncharacteristic of Sketchbook to glance at anything that's political in the least, which certainly makes that line unexpected, but also suggests that the author has even more diverse interests than they usually let on. That Kate is also the gloomiest anyone has been probably in the whole series, which really sells it.

So Kate isn't wrong that you can write a foreign word by throwing together random kanji with the same syllables.
How do they even fit inside? Do all mantises have those? I feel bad for them. That can't be healthy.
But thanks for the videos so I don't have to do that disgusting thing myself.

You can in the same way you can invent your own spelling in English.
They used to do that many years ago, but then English became cool and katakana loan words took over.

>You can in the same way you can invent your own spelling in English.
Well ... there is a bit more to Kanji "eye dialect" than simple spelling alternations. There's not much use to it unless you can make it into somewhat of a pun.

If you're trying to be cool like a delinquent, sure.

Almost all of Kate's stuff is for foreigner's

Well, it's the difference between being "cool" or rather witty) and being Kate.
You're either one or the other.

It's the difference between being cool and the old the old boring guys who were making kanji versions of foreign country names because not using kanji is uncivilized.

Or being Kate.
Being Kate is always an option!

There's only one of those. The rest of us have to settle with being cool.

Is there raws of vol 11 still?

Why aren't there any raws to be found anyway?

Yeah, but after thinking about it, it's done already. I think there's text translations by the original translator user up to the end of volume 11, but I was thinking about live translating it from where Habanero left off.

Nothing really. It's more of hindsight more than anything.

I see

>How do they even fit inside? Do all mantises have those? I feel bad for them. That can't be healthy.

Of it isn't healthy, its terminal if left alone. The parasites, hollow out the mantis as they grow, alter their development and in the end force them to go into the water so they can get out.

And if you're a male mantis, you're never developing gonads.

Warning for pic, its shows how hollowed out the mantis becomes if the parasite fully develops, and just how the parasite fits inside.

They first get in there as tiny larvae that live in the insects the mantis eats.

Stag and rhinoceros beetles are fairly popular pets in Japan and yes you can buy them. they even have jelly like beetle food you can buy for them.

(In their adult stage Stag and rhinoceros beetles lose the ability to eat sold food as it's largely just a "find mate" stage, year and in ideal conditions has enough energy saved up from being a grub to not have to eat at all, they actually spend only a few months as adults and spend most years of their lives as grubs)

If you want to save some money but still not bothering capturing your own you can also just buy them as grubs.

nice, thanks for the info Kuriharanon

so mature beetles don't live for long then.

How many cats the author have

most of the cats were based on cats from around the author's neighborhood

Cute

Same for the girls?

If someone did that to me I'd get really pissed off.

I had already cut back for the sake of reducing carbs. But now I will literally never eat spaghetti again.

And next question, are these worms harmful to humans?

No. they have evolved to mentally hijack a bug's brain to get it to go into water so it can leave, they can't exactly pull that off with a more complex human brain, one that is also a lot further away from the stomach then in insects.

Also unless you have a habit of eating uncooked bugs they wouldn't even be able to get into your body.

>unless you have a habit of eating uncooked bugs
Damn ... so I'm the only one?

Kuriha, please.

Bump!

So an adult beetle's purpose in life is just to find some nookie? Seems mean as heck to lock them up and destroy their chances.

Welcome to the wonderful world of biology. The only reason any animal does anything is to make babies.

>The only reason any animal does anything is to make babies.

That's right. Now shut up and let me impregnate you.

Poor Ao, he's gonna have to care for his retarded sister for all of his life.

>taking care of Sora for all of my life
That doesn't sound bad.

His future wife Hazuki will help him.

Bump.

Anyone else still here?

She'dv think batteries are to expensive, you can stand up and use the buttons on the TV.

>you can stand up and use the buttons on the TV
That was true back in the last century when TV monitors still had buttons. Nowadays, not so much.

Okay, you take care of Sora and I'll take care of Ao. Deal?

Sure, you two do that. I'll make sure to keep Asou company.

This was published back when I still had a crt. Which means she still might have one.

>Which means she still might have one.
True. She might have had. But if you plan on living with her for at least a few years, she will some day have to get a buttonless TV.

you can still get TVs with buttons
it's avoiding the spying TVs that's difficult

A TV can't spy if you don't put it online.

mostly true

When I was younger I would exclusively use the TV buttons. Not sure why, but even when the controller had batteries I still preferred to just stand up and use the buttons.

>I still preferred to just stand up and use the buttons.
You probably enjoyed the feeling of coming close to the static electricity that building up on the screen. I know I did.

Plus the bump limit. That could be a possibility for this one as well, considering we're already past 300 posts.

depends on the spices, in the wild they might get a few years if lucky, in captivity with food and good care they can live for around five years, and at least one stage beetle made it to seven.

Spices? Do bugs like spicy food?

Paul and Ringo are still alive, so it's two.

>Paul and Ringo are still alive
Nah. Paul is dead. In fact, he was the first of them to die. You can see it on the Abbey Road cover and hear it in secret backwards-masked messages in their songs!

I've heard this theory before what are the details?

Paul died and was replaced with a look a like. The best evidence is that he's not wearing shoes on an album cover.

>The best evidence is that he's not wearing shoes on an album cover.
Multiple covers. It's also his position in the procession on the Abbey Road cover, that of the corpse, with Ringo and George carrying his coffin and John leading as the priest.
Then there's the fact that the Beatles always denied that Paul was dead - and I ask you: What's a better proof then straight-up denial?

And that's why the theory is bullshit. If they tried to covertly change the band member, they wouldn't leave "secret signs" to point it out. That's like saying "since dollar bill has All Seeing Eye, it must be illuminati".

I hereby deny that I am Totan Kobako.

That's the thing though: They didn't. Their management did. The Beatles hid all those clue to subtly get the truth out without their management noticing.

Hey Rape Bird, I think you got the wrong door. The KF thread's two blocks down.

That's actually just a little bellow the average in Japan.

yes but Kate is Canadian

That's why she moved to Japan.

I can never track golf balls, I have no idea how people do it, especially on cloudy days.

Thanks OP.

or is she?

Are you saying she's not a leaf?

She is actually French.

I don't really know desu, the author likes to play around with the idea that Kate is just pretending to be canadian for the sake of joke

She probably is a Chinese undercover agent or something.

She's too cute to be a chinese.

>10 year special comic
I don't think I've seen this. I must know what it is.

You probably haven't.
It was a edition of volume 10 only available for a limited time that included a small hardcover booklet with interviews with the author and such.
Sketchbook has had many limited edition merchandise.

That makes me almost as sad as the fact that it's over.

But it was coincidentally also 10 years after the first volume was released. More than 12 years after the first chapter was published, though.

You can still find it at Mandarake for cheap.

Never bought from Manadarake online before. They ship to the states?
Also, what's this Perfect Workbook thing I'm also seeing?

They shipped to my shitty third world country, so they probably ship to the states too.
Perfect Book is kinda like a guide. It's pretty interesting. There is info about the anime in it too. No extra stories though.

I can only hope so.

And to top it off, there are also exclusive illustrations that you could only get by buying in Animate and such. Being gaijin is suffering.

We're just filthy, filthy gaijins. Now I want the pins.

Attached: 21.jpg (1432x2076, 3.12M)

Those kinds of bonuses are never worth it. What are you really going to do with them? They just wind up stuffed behind the dust jacket of whatever they came with.

Looks like they will, for a 2000+ yen shipping charge. I don't quite want it that badly.
Are the last chapters going to be sold as volume 14? I haven't seen anything on Amazon.

Probably eventually. Also, expect shipping to cost just as much for that.

I dunno, Amazon's never been that bad with shipping on a per book basis. But maybe that's because I usually buy more than a single book.

I like collecting them. It's like saving a picture you like in your computer. And hey, it's free.

How is it even that expensive? Wasn't even 1000 to my third world country.
Is that the price for SAL or EMS?

And I read somewhere that volume 14 will be released in September.

EMS is 2540. SAL is 1390. I forget what these mean.

I think Amazon raised their shipping prices recently. Or maybe my last few orders have been strange for some reason.

For international postal shipping, a portion goes each to the originating country, whichever country or company did the international part, and to the receiving country. Each can set their own rates, so only the Japan portion will be the same.

I just ordered 12 books a couple of weeks ago, shipping came out to $45. Over 20 for one seems like a lot.

Turns out I'm an idiot and was thinking of an order that had something other than books.

What about Asou merchandise? Is there any?

Through my search through the auction and Mandarake, nothing. Just books, DVDs and the tote bag. Other than the small things shown in the Anniversary book, I don't think Asou merch exists other than a bookmark and pin. Feels bad because Sketchbook is beyond niche. I did order volume 8's limited edition bundle that comes with extra illustrations so I can't wait to scan those in.
