The New and Improved Mari-Orange Studio

This latest page was brought to you by my new partner in crime, Murcot. As I'm sure you are all well aware, this lapse in page-making has been primarily due to the slow death of my old laptop (affectionately named Lemon). Well, thanks to the support of readers like you, I have been able to add a new citrus to Mari-Orange studio: Murcot. As for an explanation of the name "Murcot" it is derived from "murcott" which is a type of hybridized honey tangerine. For mighty Murcot is anything but a lemon. With plenty of RAM, new non-melted motherboard, a kick-ass processor and a high definition monitor, Murcot has made illustrating pages a dream come true. ...The pop-up CD/DVD burner feature was also key in selecting the R2 Toast, in orange of course, as my case of choice.
As you can see I have also acquired a new desk (found on a street corner), lamp (near a dumster) and, oh right, a home office area to put them in (aka, a vacant corner of my new apartment). Well, all in all, this has been a great help towards the production of pages. So thank you to all of you for donating funds towards getting me back on track, and another big thanks to Nikhil, Chris, Ryan and Jack for helping my stupid artist brain work through the tangle of getting things set up.

Hi to my all-too-patient viewers. In the likely event that some of you are unaware of what is going on, I have been having some computer problems over the past months. Basically, I have been without internet or a functioning OS since two months ago (long story). While this means that I have been taking some time off from finishing pages, I've had a lot of time for sketching up-coming scenes, which will expedite my process without a doubt. Another bit of good news is that the end of all of this is now in sight. I just have to wait for my internet to be turned on and all should be well with my world.
In the meantime though, I've been doing my best to help with preparations for the JKA/AF annual training camp which will once again take place in New Orleans, this time at UNO. The JKA/AF is inviting all interested karate-ka of any organization to come and participate. The guest instructor this year is Kenro Kurasako, who is both a JKA headquaters' instructor as well as a standing director and vice general manager of the JKA's technical division. Clinics will feature beginner and advanced kata kihon and kumite. To download a registration packet, for the camp please see the JKA/AF's website: http://www.jkaaf.org/member/
Well, here's page three of inner page content! I apologize for the length of time it took me to get this one up. I've been working at the lab and things are getting pretty exciting. It's too bad that biochemistry is still the bane of my existence. As for karate, this week has been pretty good. It seems that there are some new people in the club whom I had the pleasure of meeting. No one showed up for 7:30 AM training though. Go figure. I was a little disappointed so I made do with knuckle push-ups and kata. It's been a little rough trying to recover from last week's nasty stomach virus, but the wobbliness in my kibadachi has almost decreased back to it's normal level.
In other news, I would like to announce that I have super TV powers. See, I have a really old TV that often takes a second to warm up when I try to turn it on. Well, on Wednesday, when I pressed the power button, nothing happened, so I turned it off again. I pulled my sweatshirt off over my head since it was getting warm, and my hair promptly poofed up with static. Then, I pointed my finger and reached about a foot away from the screen when all at once, a huge shock went through me causing a spark to appear on the screen in front of my finger. The television promptly turned on.
Never have I felt so powerful. I am my own remote. You can call me Remo-Mari.
