THE REST
Moving out of Tokyo
I thought I would never write this: we are moving (one hour) out of Tokyo. Blame climate change for it, but also our willingness to try things while we can.

THE REST
Turn the Page on the Scroll
You have seen the "This is fine" meme of a funny dog character (his name is Question Hound), smiling and drinking coffee in the middle of a house on fire. We all identify with that dog these days.

On Making e-Books
Making e-books has become surprisingly easy lately. The question now is: who reads them? Well, I do. And I discovered I enjoy making them too.

SHORT STORIES
Sometimes MundoMendo stops turning
I can't make stories for this site for a month, and I didn't know a better way to explain why but by making a story about it! Blame Caro for this mess.

MORNING COMICS
Be Kind to your Creative Friends
Oh friends, witness the struggle. See us suffer. Feel the tears of dread coming out of our sweaty hands as we hold the pencil and try to do our best. Art is not for the faint of heart: if you have any artist friend, please treat them kindly, because they bear a cross of pain.

MORNING COMICS
Relax. They Always Arrive.
One more short Morning Comic, this one is about how having ideas should be an easy process. As the toothpaste can't be put back in the tube, you can't force ideas to arrive to you. Just wait patiently, take it easy and they will eventually make it to your desk.

Hear the Fads Fizzling
I keep hearing (and feeling) the end of the AI fad is near. Not surprising, but it makes you think that all these rages come and go: as soon as they grow to a certain level, you can count the days when they end. Anyway, this silly short comic is about that.

Text Plus Image Equals ✨Magic✨
A couple of thoughts about the magic that happens when you put images and text together. It is a bit of a waffle about something in my head, but this being another "Morning Comic" story, you will have to accept my semi-conscious state of mind.

The Life of the Early Retiree
Did you ever wonder what your life would look like if you took an early retirement? For me, my early mornings come close to what I imagine.

Long Life to Dead Wood
Where I argue my love for "dead wood" (often used as a pejorative term by businessmen). Most things made of dead wood have my love and veneration. Also about how low lights create a cocoon. And about our thoughts on moving out of Tokyo (oh gasp!).
