Panel 1:
Leo: Hi Warnick! What are you doing?
Warnick: Oh hi Leo, I’m just waiting to meet my brother. I was trying to do some Christmas shopping, but it’s just so depressing.
Panel 2:
Leo: Wow, I know exactly
what you mean. All this overconsumption and commercialism. Prices go up, people go crazy, retail workers commit suicide. The cultural and religious
underpinnings of christmas subsumed by what has become the convergence point around which 364 days of capitalist marketing revolves. To be honest Warnick, I’m a bit surprised you aren’t all into it.
Warnick: I have no idea what you’re talking about. Christmas is awesome! New gadgets, new toys, DVD movie releases, christmas latte flavours! Tons of sales and new things. It’s a shopping paradise!
Panel 3:
Leo: But you said it was depressing… ??
Warnick: Oh, that. Ya, well its just that i cant figure out what to get my brother Larsen for Christmas. He’s really difficult to shop for.
Panel 4:
Leo: Ah, of course. Well, you can always get him a watch.
Warnick: Naw, his wrists are too skinny for a watch.
Leo: Ok, how about some clothes?
Warnick: He’s not really into clothes exactly…
Leo: Errr… not into clothes… Ok, how about a hat?
Panel 5:
Warnick: Ya, hats are nice. But he sorta has a big head, and I wouldn’t want people to think he was a hat rack.
Leo: Yes there is that… wait, what??! What are you talking about?
Warnick: Shhhh… here he comes!
Panel 6:
Warnick: Leo, I’d like to introduce you to my brother: Larsen. Larsen – this is Leo.
Larsen: Yo yo yo … what up Spock?

I just realized that Warnick kind of looks like a red shirt dude from Star Trek.

I was shocked and appalled by your unfair and prejudice jokes at the expense of my people.
You should be ashamed of yourselves!

I love how Spock has started to wear a scarf exactly how Kenji does.

I love how Kenji has started cooking toast with a laser.
(and by laser I mean his white hot contempt for the Gaijin Devil)

I love how Kenji has started to draw comics in the nude.
