Chapter: COMICS

I reaaaaally want to watch Ponyo again. If you are reading this, and live in Nashville, let’s get together and have a Miyazaki marathon.

I have to give props to Clark, who helped me construct this comic. If you are unaware, we together run the slightly-neglected-as-of-late Quarterlife Crisis. However, fear not! For there are big changes afoot. Keep checking here, there, and anywhere find Caldwell-related updates are sold.

Luckily I wore my elastic shoes,

I just found your website and this comic has made me a huge fan. I love Ponyo and all of Miyazaki's work.
I'm so excited to continue reading your comic!

Miyazaki is a god. I could watch Spirited Away all week long, and never get bored. No more then a week though, or else I wouldn't have time to watch Princess Mononoke.

I'm more of a nausicaa fan myself, but there aaaalll good.

Eh, I didn't like Ponyo too much. It was lacking in the complexity and awesomeness usually present. A good kids' movie, nothing more.

Apparently you watched the film WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED. It was a gorgeously animated, complex work of art disguised as a kid's movie.
Carmen

OMG!! You made Miyazaki seem like a lolicon XD

is that a good thing I don't know is it.

Now, I was already thinking “did he just take SeaMan and simplify it to the component parts”… now I know it's true thanks to your comic
tahrey

oh man, i hope you're joking

there's plenty of seperate bits in it I loved (and Lisa is, like, best mom ever , and it's a visual treat (well… except for that bit in the middle where they obviously ran out of time/money and you get the stunning combination of MS Paint-level art and approx 4 frames per second) but overall the whole thing probably only makes sense if you're about four years old. Which is probably why all but one of the showings I could find for it were at times where only preschoolers and their grandparents/stay at home moms could go see it.

Even so, Ponyo > Little Mermaid, just because the only annoying Disney-type song appears over the end credits, and even that is vaguely listenable. Can't quite see what the complaints people have made about the music and voice acting are about… except that they paid all that money for Liam Neeson and he sounds just like Rene Auberjonois.

This comic gets even funnier if you read it manga-style (right-to-left).

hahaha! I never thought about that!

This makes me want to watch My neighbor Totoro really bad…I always wished i could ride on a furry cat bus….

I liked Pom Poko and Porko Roso better…but Catbus is indeed kickass (Ponyo is adorable too)
Anna

I love this! I loved Ponyo! As well as all of his other movies! I want to one day own them all!

Miyazaki is kind of the best.

like i said…. japanese = whatthefuckery.
Anna
