Your Karate Vacation
See, this is a main reason why I never take names down on this website: you never know when you’re going to see their work again. It’s been a couple of years, but I finally found a new book from Matt, and it’s a wonderful thing. This is a book of advice on how to have a proper vacation while following all the precepts of karate. It’s always a good sign when I could have sampled any page of a book (as the whole thing is hilarious), although if it didn’t take too much away from the story I would have picked the two page spread in the center with the karate master’s advice on how to clear out long lines. Or maybe the panel where he has to concentrate on imagining himself fighting a duck to stay mentally on the path of the warrior. Or maybe it would be his excellent advice about public transportation? You see where I’m going with all this: this book is fantastic and you should think about picking it up. Unless you don’t have a sense of humor about the karate stuff, in which case there’s no help for you. Oh, and it’s only a measly $1!
