Carnaval - Japanese style
Sun 28 Sep 2008
There is a very large Japanese community living in Brazil so we get a lot of Japanese related programmes and news items. This morning I found out about the Kishiwada Danjiri Festival. What began as a dedication to Inari, the fox god of the harvest, has turned into a completely crazy race.
Different neighbourhoods of Kishiwada spend a year creating intricately carved wooden floats and then spend two days tearing round the streets of the town on these moveable shrines that weigh 4 tons. They are pulled by as many as 500 to 1000 people. The best part are the high speed accidents that occur as they are dragged around narrow roads and street corners, crashing into buildings and sometimes completely falling over.
('97)
I haven't found a decent video from this years festival and that one from '97 doesn't really do justice to what I saw on TV. Guys falling off the roof and carts knocking over telephone poles. Excellent.

It's like a compact, perfectly formed Twilight Zone strip. That's how I'd describe Will they notice? by Brandon Palas. The third strip appearing in issue three.
Planet Nik
Wed 12 Mar 2008
Grey Days by Nik has already appeared in the Judge Dredd Megazine and I'm chuffed that a couple of his strips will be in krazybov comics too. If you can't wait that long then head on over to his site at Planet Nik where you can buy a comic collecting all his Grey days strips. Highly recommended.
