On the contrary, my store now has many parents who want to rent books and send their children to practice so that they can practice. You will see an elementary school student walk over and talk to me . Then I want to say what you are talking about , but they can’t speak well and are not fluent. She is a elementary school student. You are so strict and tell me clearly. She has a very bad mouth , but she is actually still very stubborn in training. This child needs to be taught well . Hiho, hello everyone, I am Zhiqi . Happy New Year. Do you want to have a holiday this year? How are you doing? Today’s topic is comics that have a great impact on my life. Today we will introduce the 10 best-selling comics in 2023. I hope this episode can help everyone find your favorite works and have a good time during the New Year holiday. Enjoy , and the guest we have today is very good, that is Yonghua , the owner of the National Normal University Bailu Cave . Hi everyone, before I start, I would like to briefly introduce the National Normal University Bailu Cave to you , because the Bailu Cave used to be in Taipei. It is a very, very common rental bookstore . But after the rise of the Internet, there were probably about 50 bookstores in Bailudong in the past. Now there are only about 7 or 8. However , after this trend, Yonghua decided to buck the trend. The store itself became the owner , and even combined with film and reading clubs and other exhibition activities, Bailudong became a cultural base near the National Normal University. It also made it possible for renting bookstores to survive . I myself would occasionally sneak there. Renting books from here, you should be able to know how much she loves comics. You can definitely look forward to our sharing today. But before we start, let us enter a period of business service time . Next, we will introduce today’s list, which is announced by Oricon Japan. Let ’s talk about the 2023 annual Japanese comic sales list. Which ones do you think will definitely be on the list ? Then I will recommend these two . Because of the animation, the previous ones may also be popular together. If it sells well, I think there will definitely be "One Piece" because "One Piece" will sell too many copies no matter what. It doesn't matter, let's just take a look. First of all, the tenth place is "The World of Kings" , which has sold about 3.2 million copies forever. Hua, can you explain to us what the work "The World of Kings" is about? In terms of the wars in the Qin Dynasty, I think it is a very exciting and somewhat inspirational story. Should it be told like this? What do you think is the most beautiful thing about it ? Actually , I haven't watched it. You haven't watched this one. I have watched it , but I haven't seen it completely because I 'm not that interested in that style of painting and the Warring States Period . But I have a good friend who is Ping Ping Peng. Peng She is so invincible that she loves it. She watches it every day and keeps talking about how beautiful it is. She keeps asking me to watch it and it ranks tenth . I will watch it again. Okay, let's come back and see how it ranks ninth . Nine is "Tokyo Avengers", about 3.21 million. I believe that most people may know this relatively clearly. What kind of comic do you think it is? It is very passionate . In fact, it is a very romantic comic. It is a very romantic comic because of the protagonist. He wanted to save his first girlfriend , so he kept going back and correcting it. The heroine who was talking about it encountered something , so the hero had to go back and save her , but every time he went back, he seemed to correct it. But he came back again and it turns out that the future is still the same. Why is the future the same ? Is that the so-called node of the spider web? Is it something that will definitely happen? He just keeps doing it and then the famous one is the man. The protagonist has a very runny nose and sheds tears. He loves to cry , so he creates a strong point of crying. But maybe in the end, everyone will still cry. From the beginning, it was a very sad thing, and it was helpless for a long time. I suddenly laughed out loud. He was crying every episode. Then I thought he might be practicing his martial arts skills. You know , but it didn’t seem to be true . The setting was that he was 12 years old and then returned to junior high school , but he still behaved very well. Like a junior high school student , but when he passed by, no one noticed and said, wow, you are so grown-up, you are so mature , but he still loves to cry . I want to say that you are already 12 years old. You should be better than these people, right? He doesn't. He is a social animal , so he doesn't have the armor to train his soul, but I think it depends on the mentality. If you are holding a " I want to see the masterpiece" today , after all, it contains a bit of time travel, you will feel that there are a lot of strategies behind it , but it In fact, it’s not a comic like this . It’s more like a work that you can read smoothly or watch with a meal. I think the reason why this work was selected is mainly because the second season of its animation was just released this year. It's on the shelves and has the blessing of a live-action movie, so it has become a topical work again. Well, let's see that the eighth place is "My Hero Academia" , which has about 3.5 million copies and should be about to end. It's coming to an end soon, so everyone is paying attention again. Yes, yes , Wo Ying is a superhero comic. At the beginning, I think the biggest feature is that it has some Japanese and American painting styles , because there are different heroes on both sides . I think it is considered a traditional work , but the author wanted to add more anti-heroes or a very dark side to this work, especially in the middle and late stages. He added a lot of heaviness to it , but this incident has caused some readers to feel I'm not used to seeing
people who originally wanted to watch the King's struggle to move forward , but then suddenly a lot of heavy things started to happen. I felt that he didn't handle this very smoothly, so when I watched it, I occasionally felt that it was a little too dramatic to start with. Being reasonable, I'm a bit preachy, yes, yes, and then I want to say that I want to watch fighting. I think it's this subtle difference in expectations that will make you a little confused when watching this work. Where should I project myself? In the paragraphs like this , this work has gradually started to become controversial , but it is finally coming to an end. Is it really great ? Is this true emotion shown ? Yes, it is really great because it is really a bit long . I think it is more than 30 episodes. It’s a bit too long, okay, let’s take a look at the seventh place, which is “SPY × FAMILY”. This sold 4.3 million copies. From last year, I remember that “SPY × FAMILY” seemed to be at the top. It should be because of the animation last year, we even tried to imitate it. Birna is on the list again this year Is "SPY × FAMILY" also a very popular book in your rental bookstore ? Yes, before there was animation at that time, I watched the first episode and I loved it very much. The first episode was really good. And Aniya is so cute. Oh, and when the dog came out, I cried because I have a dog at home , so I bought three sets at that time. When the animation became popular, I felt prophetic. When some things like us who often read comics became popular, we felt prophetic. And now some comics are very pursuing the first batch. The first batch will have a book waist. It's terrible. Then I threw it away. The book waist is very precious. The book waist is very precious. My classmates, like me, keep the book waist. You can also sell them . There are special trays that collect those book waists. They actually call them trays . Book racks from bookstores are rented out. They are often stolen by others and then auctioned online. It’s scary . Come on. The sixth place is "SLAM DUNK". It’s about It has sold 4.9 million copies . This must be related to the movie, right ? "SLAM DUNK" has been a hot-selling work for a long time. Yes, in our store, people keep renting it repeatedly because it is very good. I should still read it once a year. As I get older, the more comics I read, the more I can feel that "SLAM DUNK" really handles the team thing very well , because many sports comics end up with one person . Emphasize that he is the protagonist , but in "SLAM DUNK", if you watch it from beginning to end, you will begin to doubt that Sakuragi Hanamichi is not the protagonist , it is just using him as the starting point of the character narrative . There are so many players, so many teams, we all still remember other teams' usual words, I I will only remember the protagonist's team , but I will remember the fish seller at Yuzhu's house , or the smelly old Amu, they are all high school students, it's scary, they look like Japanese high school students who are 3 or 40 years old. He is really strong and the coach is also very cute. Each coach has his own personality , such as Murmur, etc. His passion for sports and the details of each athlete's personality are really mastered. So like when the movie version was released at that time I ran to watch it. It was really amazing. I never thought that he could handle it like this. The people around me had never watched "SLAM DUNK" and they thought wow. It was super nervous at the end . It's not the end. There is a key point. It would be a little quiet in the Cut, and there would be people talking over there , and I would be like, damn it, I want to immerse myself in this silence. Then because I was so angry , I would find a time when there would be no children and no one, and I would go and see it by myself. There are quite a lot of people around me who like this movie a lot. It was released for a very long time. It was released in Japan for 9 months and then its box office in Taiwan was 457 million. So if you haven’t seen this work, I really think I highly recommend that the fifth place is "Chainsaw Man". It sold 5.3 million . This is also related to animation. When "Chainsaw Man" came out at that time, "Chainsaw Man" was because this author is very good at short stories. He is basically He is the king of short stories , so I loved him very much in his previous work "Fist of Fire". I think I love "Fist of Fire" more than "Chainsaw Man". Another characteristic of him is that he has no mercy when making lunch . If you have never seen this type of comic, I think you can imagine that it is a B-level movie. Some B-level movies will give you a very sudden twist , or then it will just go away like this , but it is not there. No matter what readers want to expect, I just keep acting like this . When this character came out, I thought wow, I like him very much. The next second he died, I was really unhappy. After building a little relationship, you will feel that I am finished. I've built a little relationship with him and he should break up with him. Since he doesn't care about the audience and disappoints the audience, why can he still be so popular? I think this is a bit evil nowadays. There is a lot of discussion. For example, it makes this character The creation was very good and charming , but he died suddenly in the next episode. If you like this character, you will also discuss it in the past, and you will also discuss it later. This is a marketing aspect. In addition, I think many works like this have become the mainstream in comics. When it is in the form of a routine , it will also be discussed a lot , but you can't think of what it will do next second, so you will want to watch it
, it is a bit like the short video that reverses, reverses and then reverses , and of course it Its style of painting, its storyboards and its storyline also have a certain charm. I think its storyboards are really interesting . The storyboards are great. If you like to study some storyboards, you can see a lot of movie compositions in it. So I think when this work was animated, the idea of the animation also specially designed some things based on this storyboard, so I still think it is a genre, maybe like a dark fantasy in the recent past. You can still check out the masterpieces. And at the same time, if you like it , I also recommend "Fist of Fire". "Fist of Fire" is really, really good . Then let's take a look at the fourth place. The fourth place is "The Child I Recommend". Needless to say, it is so popular that it has sold about 5.4 million copies, but the number is less than I thought. It should be more if it is super small. Since it is so popular , I can only say that the number of Japan's charts will gradually decrease every year. Because the sales of comics have also begun to drop, I am sad. I don’t know how many people are still buying comics every month. Most of them read free online pirated copies of "The Child I Pushed". If you haven't read it, I will be very disappointed. My suggestion is to start reading comics. When I watched the first episode, I thought this would definitely be a hit. I had to buy two or three sets. But the animation came out and it was so popular that Qingwen Publishing House didn’t think of it at that time. So it’s too late to reprint , so Shopee’s terrible short one to seven can be sold for tens of thousands. I’m really scared to death. It’s really a pile of plates to go online to grab the first copy. Isn’t there a book waist? Wow, the book waist is also It’s scary, I’m scared, so I just posted it for limited reading, and I won’t let customers borrow it. I hope you don’t want it, just don’t join in this hype. You know, Qingwen also published and reprinted it. How can you all find a way to do it like "SPY" × FAMILY" or how can someone like "The Kid I Pushed" realize that it might be good in the first episode and start watching it? This is some kind of Sense, I think you can say it like this, because after you watch it a lot, you will know how well it handles the critical point of familiarity and difference , and whether this work makes people want to read more. For example, I think of a movie from a long time ago like "The Exorcist Boy". The opening of the first chapter is very, very powerful, so you will think whether there is much extension to this story setting , and then whether there is any in that The moment will make you feel full of wild imagination. I think this matter is a bit crucial. "I Recommend" has done everything "I Recommend" has done , and its background is the entertainment industry. It has a job. The concept of human drama has been introduced in many Japanese variety shows and YT dramas . I think it’s awesome. Then I think if I watch something like "SPY × FAMILY" now, I will start to look at its structure. I think this structure is very suitable for short stories. Because I think the key for a work to sell well is that it must have many small paragraphs that can be conveyed , and animation is very important. So when I saw it at that time, this was very suitable for animation . Sometimes I even saw it said The arrangement is actually already an animation animation animation , and then it is very suitable to be made into a theatrical version because it has a feature length. When you see that, you will know that it has begun to have a lot of commercialization potential . When it is commercialized, you will have Others are paying you to help you launch this work , so I think it will contain some of this kind of thinking. Then we will enter the top three. The third place is "One Piece" , which has just been predicted to have about 7 million. Because it has many episodes, "One Piece" now has 107 episodes. The Taiwanese version is 107. It's really too long. It 's really too long on Cake Island and Wano Country. I broke on the sky island and you broke on the sky. Island , but the point where you break is also a happy point. The empty island is very beautiful because he kept saving Robin in that part. I kind of forgot that you said that later on, the Seven Islands of Water saved Robin , right , right, and then I want to say How difficult is it to save a Robin? How many episodes have I watched ? He kept saving her and then kept crying over there . Then my colleague said that Ace was dead, and I told him which episode, and then I You probably know it if you go and read it, but I think the scale became really big later , and then the narrative storyboard of the comic will jump around because it is usually a melee or a long escape . This is the right explanation , so I think it’s not easy to understand if you’re reading a manga. At this time, if you watch an anime , you’ll suddenly understand it. It’s right because the animation slows down the pace and adds colors because the difference between the background of One Piece and the characters is right. In fact, the relationship is not so clear and it is very messy. The style of painting is relatively unrestrained. Is it just messy? Will I be beaten? Anyway, I think the screen is a bit too crowded. I hope it can leave some white space , but this is him. We all respect his style of painting. Recently, he has entered a new chapter , and this new chapter has begun to greatly promote the main plot . Oda also said that it should basically have entered the final chapter , so if you are a person who used to like "One" Piece" and want to watch it again now, I think now is a good time, but I think it will take another 5 years. It should be possible. I think, I hope it can not be finished. Why , because I will watch it. Talent will keep coming to my store, which is actually reasonable. I have actually thought about this problem , because it cannot be ended now. Its end represents an industry chain that may be worth tens of billions. It is the end of an era. I will cry , although I am not there yet. I love it , but it was started by a junior high school student of mine. But if it doesn’t end, the evaluation of this work will continue to decline . It should end at a high point. I hope it can reach that high point again so that it can come again. The second place is "Spell" "Return to the War" should not need to be mentioned because it is animated and it is so handsome. I can only say that it is too handsome. It has sold about 8.5 million copies. "The Return of the Magic" is also a work that many people will rent, right ? What kind of age do you think the people it rents are like ? I have to say that people who can rent bookstores are already in their 30s. Those who are older in the second half of the year or have this habit. Yes, they have been reading paper books since they were young. There are very few young people in my store. I mean there are no elementary school students. Instead, my store has many parents who want to rent books and send their children to practice. You will see an elementary school student walk over and follow me. Then I want to say what you are talking about, but they are not good at speaking. They are not fluent. She is from an elementary school. You are so strict and tell me clearly. She has a very bad mouth , but in fact she still has a bad heart in training this child. You need to teach her . What I want to talk about is the recent development of spells. What do you two think? Is this a thunder? Because there is a serialization in Taiwan but there is no single book yet. Here I want to talk about this. This is a thunder because it is a serialized plot. Anyway . There was a character who died. The Internet was in mourning and many people said that I wanted to throw it away. But at the beginning of that episode, the "Spell Return" space in our store was empty. Everyone wanted to know. It's not fair to say what happened before, but you may have completed the previous part. You probably have nothing to do with it. He just wants him to die. If compared with the previous "Chainsaw Man", this death is even more unexpected for me. I think the author It's a bit bad. I think the author once said that he wanted to draw a group of people with a bad mentality fighting each other. There are many such characters in this spell , such as real people and Gojo Satoru. He also said that in addition to his personality, Except for a little twist, everything else is probably full marks , so in this state, I think to some extent he has also created a character that he can't solve. If you don't do it well, people will be very angry at the author's interpretation of the story. Whether the power lies with the audience or the author is a very interesting discussion here , because I think Hanjie handled it very well . The intensity of each character and the way each character died will not make us feel He said it was a waste and I feel sorry for him. For example, let's say the ant king fought against the president. The president was always created to be super strong , but in the end he died like that . Although he died like that , I think the ending was OK. The plot was right, so in the spell, it was We were really shocked when we just talked about this character , because I remember that basically in the last episode or the previous episode, I was still bragging that he was super strong , and then suddenly he fell off the cliff at the highest point. Everyone feels sorry for me, I can imagine it. Wait a minute, "Blue Prison" is number one. "Blue Prison" is actually number one. Why, wait a minute, this is so surprising to me , and it is the only broken one in this list. There are so many people renting this book from a rental bookstore that sells tens of millions of dollars. It was animated before and then stopped recently. I wanted to buy another set at that time , but when the Taiwanese version came out with episode 19 , I only bought one. Because "Blue Prison" has always been a less popular work in my mind , but because we are in Japan, the football fever in Japan may be completely different from that in Taiwan , and the World Cup will be in 2022, right , right? And their jersey was still that very cool one. It was designed by the author of "Blue Prison" and "Reverse Supervision". It was very cool . Because I was in Japan at that time and I really wanted to buy it. I went to many places. It’s not easy to buy . I understand that in Japan, because of their football craze, people like to bet on the same sport. I think this work is quite interesting. Taiwanese people may not be very clear about it . I will introduce it specifically and just talk about it. In 2018, Japan's national football team failed to reach the top 16 of the World Cup. Then the Japan Football League decided to launch a "Blue Prison" project in order to win the 2022 World Cup. The person in charge of the project is all over Japan. 300 outstanding forwards under the age of 18 were gathered together and then conducted a brutal closed-door training in a building called "Blue Prison". The goal was to eliminate 299 people and find the most self-centered and strongest forward , because they are everyone. Everyone wants to give credit to others , but you have to be very selfish. I want to shoot and then shoot it in. I think it is a bit of a combination of the concept of battle royale, which is a survival game and football , and recently it has become a bit more... It feels like watching "Prince of Tennis". Some dinosaurs have begun to appear. Meteorites. Let me tell you, now everyone plays football. You know that when you run, there will be black fog surrounding him. Black Dragon Wave. Everyone's eyes are that kind of blood. I recently saw the 17th episode of Rinnegan , where brothers were fighting. The younger brother kept sticking out his tongue and his eyes kept rolling . Then someone next to him suddenly said, " Your tongue is sticking out." Then I wanted to say that the referee didn't want it. Is it against the spirit of sportsmanship to give him a card? Do you want to test him to see if he has eaten anything bad ? It is super exaggerated. I think of my first sports comic as "Lightspeed Mask 21". I like it very much. "Light Speed Masked Man 21" Although I don't know what is going on behind it, the front is very beautiful. I never thought that I could fall in love with a ball game because of a comic and I have no idea what it is about. Is it right for a ball game and then Everyone liked it very much , so we all went and bought a rugby ball and played there when we were in junior high school. If you want to experience the passion of this kind of sport, I think you can also watch "Blue Prison". Then come back. Let’s look at another list , which is the borrowing list of Bailu Cave, National Normal University last year. We want to see if there is any difference between Taiwan and Japan . Of course, it may be affected by some age. As I just said, let’s take a look at this single episode. What will the top five on the borrowing list be like ? And you told me, and then I wanted to say that it ran through our system and came out. I almost died laughing , did I die laughing? Yes, I just wanted to say that you would never guess that I was going to bet. If I 'm older , I'd bet on this because I'm in my 30s. I'd bet on "The Underworld" because "The Underworld" is so good. I believe that when the first episode comes out, people may not want to buy it now and go rent it first. In my 30s, I think it seems reasonable. Let's see if there is any. I will show this directly to you. I actually hit it. You are awesome. Because there are many, many re-lists in this list, so we will delete some re-lists and then It was directly announced that the fifth place was "Spell Return" , then the fourth place was "Hunter" , then the third place was "The Underworld Messenger" , then the second place was "One Piece" , then the first place was "The First Divine Fist" 》 Why is there "The First Divine Fist" and the content of "The First Divine Fist" is very high ? In my original ranking, about six of the top ten were "The First Divine Fist". As long as it has a book published, it will be the first. You just mentioned that one of them is a little older. Maybe he doesn’t have much space at home to put "The First God Fist" because it’s really too much. The latest one was released at 138 , and Japan released it at 139. There are so many of them . It’s been 130 episodes now. Is it still exciting? It ’s very exciting . My friend is boxing, so he started watching it. He has already watched 4 or 50 episodes. You still have a long way to go , and you have to watch three times more . Because for example, when we watch One Piece, we are already tired after watching more than 100 episodes, and we feel that it is almost over. Why is "Daiichi Fist" able to continue to this day and still look good ? Their characters are improving . From young to old , you still get injured , and then you rest a lot. In fact, you are experiencing that mentality , which is a bit like when you were watching "Ronin Swordsman" and farming for many episodes. You will also feel a little bit of this feeling, which seems to correspond to Some of the background of your current life growth is like this, and then add it (The First Divine Fist) has been serialized for 30 years. There is no piracy on the Internet , that is, you can only find 108 episodes , but you can still find pirated copies , and then there are no more . Except, it is because it was originally In Taiwan , it was serialized in "Shounen Express" and later "Shounen Express" disappeared , so no one would scan it. In Japan, the author hated e-books very much, so he did not allow Kodansha to have e-books. The threshold for piracy of books has become very high Yes, because no one is so free. I just buy that weekly magazine and tear it out page by page. Then I ’m exhausted from scanning. Who wants it? That was done a long time ago. Yes, then if you add it, it will be more than 100 episodes, and then it will be serialized for 30 Years , so its readers are people who have been reading comics since they were in their teens. They are reading comics on paper , so they are not used to reading e-books, so they are accustomed to buying single volumes as soon as weekly magazines come out. This is their reading habit. Well, and adding that comics don’t cost much, I think another very interesting point here is that it is very important not to be pirated. So when I first saw "The Underworld Messenger", of course I also thought about this website. I looked for any updated serials on the road and couldn't find any. Then I thought that because Hiroshi Arakawa had insulted China by painting Mao Zedong and then it was all cut off, it was like "The Messenger of the Underworld". I think this work is very worthy for everyone to at least buy it. The first episode or go rent it and watch it because you can feel it in the first episode. The world view Arakawa wants to express this time is very complete. His fieldwork is very detailed . There is a messenger, which is a bit like an alien. Pokémon that can summon monsters will all be in pairs , and there will be some interactions. The line between reality and deception is played very, very well, so I highly recommend everyone to watch it. There are currently four episodes in Taiwan and now If you don’t buy the comic quickly, it will go out of print. It will go out of print, and you won’t be able to buy it, because it may usually only be published once or twice, because those are the only people who buy comics now, and in addition, there is no such book in mainland China. So there will be a lot of people who will buy it and take it there . So "The Messenger of the Underworld" is worth buying. It's worth buying. It's worth buying. Buy it quickly . I now have a fixed Wawa Bookstore Day every month . This is the time. I just have to run there and then... Scan the round to see if there are comics that I think might be interesting or I just know this. I have seen this before . I must buy it quickly and start buying it . Otherwise, it will be too troublesome to get it back later. As a monster guardian who has bought it God's plate is so good, I will hurry up and buy it before the Chinese New Year episode airs. Yes, hurry up. Apart from the comics I just shared, do you have any other ones that you feel regretful about and would like to recommend to the audience? Wow, I have a lot of legacy. Let me tell you about "Ruri Ryuu". Do you know this? I don't know about "Ruri Ryuu". It's not simple. The author is very young. I think he is only in his 10s . Then he released one episode. He took a break from publishing for a year because he was not in good health. OK , but he did not serialize it during the year he took a break . However, it was still included in the list in 2024. "This comic is really amazing!" I think it is really a bit fantasy and everyday . That movie where the heroine is super cute and the heroine turns into a dragon, that's right, that's the heroine, Dragon Dragon. She got up one morning and her head hurt so much , and when she was brushing her teeth, she wanted to think about this thing, why did my head grow horns , and then she... She said, "Mom, I have horns." Then her mother said, " It's because your dad is a dragon." When she was in school, her classmates didn't try to exclude her. They were like, "Oh my God, why do you look like this? It's so cool. Can I take a photo with you?" Then, for example, when I go to school. She spit fire because my throat was so itchy , and then burned the hair of the classmate in front of me . Then you thought it was going to be a school violence incident , but the teacher in it also handled it very well. This comic is very "Asian" "Jiang has something to say" is a youthful and light state. This movie is very fun. Every classmate is young and cute , and it is a very kind world . Plus, Long and her father are very mysterious, and it's really It's a dragon. You want to say how her mother and father are combined like this. It's also one of the highlights . I didn't expect it to be gone after just one episode. The author took a break, but he said he would make a comeback in 2024. I think I'm looking forward to it. Can you watch the first episode of "Ruri Dragon" in Bailu Cave now? Can you watch it? Hurry up and rent it. Then I want to recommend a sketch that is a bit like " When can a tiger raise a dragon for a thousand days before it can be eaten" The work is very interesting. It also involves two people who transformed into beasts. It tells the story of a dragon being raised by a tiger as edible food. However, in the process of getting along with them, some emotional changes began to occur and then some developments unfolded. I think small adventures or battles are relaxing and will make you feel some pure love . When I just watched that kind of work, sometimes I felt like I wanted to go back to my youth , so I highly recommend these works to everyone. Go take a look. Okay, today’s special New Year plan for this episode will be shared here. We thank Yonghua, the boss of Bailudong, Normal University. In addition, you are very welcome to share your recommended comic works or today’s comics in the message area below. Which of the comics mentioned is your favorite?
