Run while you still can Dini!
If you haven’t figured it out, ‘okaasan’ means ‘mother’ in Japanese, and ‘kaasan’ is more like ‘mum’. The more you know.
Webcomics featuring Dini

Canis Minor is a line.

Thank you for subscribing to Canis Minor facts.
(get used to these 2 or 3 star constellations by the way, there’s a lot of them)
0071 – canis major
NOW you now why it’s called the Dog Star. Anyway, here are your complementary Canis Major facts:
Canis Major intersects the Milky Way.
Canis Major contains the neutron star RX J0720.4-3125 with a radius of 5km, and the red star hypergiant VY Canis Majoris with a radius of 990’000’000km.
Canis Major is the only dog constellation which actually looks like a dog.
0070 – sirius
Yayy! The educational strips are back. Here are some complementary Sirius facts:
Sirius is technically a binary star system made up of Sirius A – a star twice the size of the Sun – and Sirius B – a white dwarf.
Sirius B is so tiny it wasn’t observed until 1862.
The word ‘Sirius’ is the Latinised form of the Ancient Greek word for ‘glowing’.
Sirius is sometimes called the ‘Dog Star’ for reasons that will become apparent in the next comic.
Thanks you for subscribing to Sirius Facts.
0067 – hands
Suddenly I remember why I don’t normally draw Sedna in colour.
0066 – pencil wars: episode 5
OHMYGODITSFINALLYOVER! 5 comics, 65 panels… remind me never to do this again. :|
Now I wish I could go back in time and tell kid me that playing with his pencil case instead of paying attention to class would actually pay off one day. In your face teachers!
0064 – pencil wars: episode 3
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Will his sacrifice be in vain? Will our heroes’ homes and families be blasted into oblivion? And will poor Dini survive Sedna’s melodramatic imagination? Find out next week in episode 4!
Wait, do pens even have families? Are there pilots inside the pens, or are the pens themselves sentient like in Cars? Hang on, do the characters in Cars have families? I’m so confused.
0063 – pencil wars: episode 2
Oh no! The ink-pire strikes back! How can our heroes repel water power of THAT magnitude? Tune in on Saturday for episode 3!
By the way, I hope everyone’s seen Rogue One by now. Great movie. Especially the end, just… wow!
0062 – pencil wars: episode 1
Whew, this took AGES. 16 panels – a new record! Let’s see how long it lasts.
I’m really excited about this story arc, and this is only episode 1, so come back on Thursday for the even better sequel. It’s gonna’ be EPIC! (hopefully)
0061 – language
Sedna’s probably already planned out the wedding, honeymoon, first 3 years of marriage, and the names of their children.
Poor Dini has no idea what he’s getting himself into. Wait until he finds out that there are over 2’000 kanji characters and multiple ways of pronouncing each one. Plus 46 hiragana characters, 46 katakana characters, and don’t even get me started on the grammar.
