Ninja Day

Hawk on Dec. 5, 2006

Happy Ninja Day! I know it was set for December 5th, but that's technically when I finished this… I just decided to update on Wednesday. In honor of Ninja Day I'm putting up this Tadashi wallpaper. If you go the Downloads page you can get different sizes.

I'd also like to dispel a myth… I've been told a couple times by readers that Tadashi is using the wrong kind of sword. They say he should be using a Ninja-To, which has a more straight edge and is shorter. The truth is, Ninjas did not stick exclusively to one sword, but used what was readily available. While sometimes that was the ninja-to, it was really up to their choice. Besides when trying to blend into society, does it make much sense to run around with the “official ninja sword?” Ninjas were versatile. How do I know all this? I'm in close contact with a bona-fide ninja.

Please don't get on my case about pluralization of the word “ninja”.

In other news, I'm thrilled that Drunk Duck has featured Culture Shock. DD has always been good to me, and that's why I stay here. It's a really good comic host, too! I would also like to thank all of you readers for returning commenting so much. You definitely make it worth the work.

I apologize for updating this late. I'm working on college finals right now, but I hope to have something new for you this weekend.

And in honor of Ninja Day, go check out Dr. McNinja from my list of links. It's the best comic about a doctor or a ninja.

It took THIS long for DD to feature your comic? WTF?

Nice drawing, Hawk. And that's incredibly true, I believe. Don't many modern ninjas know how to use guns? It only makes sense, as they obviously need to stay at the top of technology to efficiently take out strong, non-ninja opponents. Enough partially-theoretical talk of ninjas, though. Excellent artwork.

Awesome.

I could wear a sign to make it even more plugrific! I'll threaten everyone with hats! A note on ninja's(I'll plurize the word howver I want! :P) I once read that ninja found honor not in a fair fight. But in service to ones lord. So while a samurai may have restricted himself to certain types of weapons a ninja would use whatever was available and indeed whatever s/he would have prefered.

love the image man! Especially the underlighting and shading. also, beat down the people who complain about the sword. also to the below, that really was plugrific.

Hi hawk just like to say I've been a fan of yours for a while. I'm in a comic my friend does. The basis for it is that the crew lives in a spaceship called the SS nekos creed. Our captain is the author and is aout as competent as Zap branigan. Seem here: http://www.drunkduck.com/Complete_Insanity/ ENOUGH SHAMELESS PLUGGING! Right I like Lane most of all of your characters cause I too am a slacker. Whens your next update?

Anime Guru at 3:11PM, Dec. 7, 2006

Even better ninja than this one...?

Oooh that is such awesome lighting! The colours really go well together!

Mr Mustard Seed at 9:21AM, Dec. 7, 2006

have a happy ninja day y'self! I'm slightly underdressed for the festivities, but I'm sure no one will hold that against me ... YET!! Hai-YAh!!

Dude, whats the kanji you sign with? Really nice one, cant find it in any dictionary. Is the bird-part under seperate, or? BTW, really like your comic, good humor AND a nice style combined with a original plot! Sweet!
