#tiger den

The only thing bears treasure is destruction.

I do it every year where I forget about the follow up comic. Made it in time, though.

I haven’t seen that new version of Hunter x Hunter–I already thought the ‘99 version was excellent. Plus, I loved the original cast, so I’ll be pissed to hear everyone with different voices.

Anyway, so far no new treasures this January. Hope I find something good this year. I need it.

明けましておめでとう！

Wow, how nice to have the time this year to not rush the 年賀状. I usually have to work, so I have to slap something together. Can’t say that my work reflects much difference from a rush job and a leisurely one, but I at least had more time to stare at it and think about changing things without worrying that New Year’s would be over before I finished it. I was inspired this year by the saying: 「虎穴に入らずんば虎子を得ず」.　It parallels with the English saying of “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” I don’t much practice this idea, but I could benefit a little more by entering the “tiger’s den” more often.

Really hope I get to enjoy myself a little better this year. I feel like I was a little too busy being miserable in 2021 to do so. Also, I didn’t notice last year, but this is just past the 10th anniversary of me making my first 年賀状 back in 2012. I hope I continue for another decade, but who knows if my creativity will last that long?
