Hey I wanted to let you know that Cara is a new social media thingy that automatically glazes your art. You might wanna check that out too.
I do have Cara! And I managed to snag the Tofu username (no pixel suffix, how amazing)
So far the site seems very nice, I think I will be using it in the future
Follow me if you have it
Is Glaze a program that can be installed? If so, how?
Here is the download link. I believe there is a browser version for if your PC can't handle it, but it's been down for a couple days apparently. I think people are clamoring to use it after the Instagram/Meta AI stuff

Wow! I was reminded of this image from 20 years ago since Usagi Yojimbo is celebrating his 40th anniversary this year! It’s a compilation of artwork by Hawaii artists for the San Diego Comic-Con souvenir book. Congratulations, @stansakai ! :)
Mahalo everyone who attended the Librari-con Cosplay event! It was a great turnout and a lot of fun, with cosplays from different ages. It was wonderful to see many faces that I didn't see at Kawaii Kon. The event was a big success, with over 300 people in attendance, and it seems like the library is planning to organize more events in the future! 😊 Looking back, wearing the 35-pound proton pack in ghostbusters attire while manning the table for three hours may not have been the best idea, but it was worth it. Many thanks to Amanda Lei Perron, Gail, and the rest of the staff of the Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library for organizing such an amazing event! 😊
"Official recognition is valuable because the shaka is so culturally resonant, so much a part of this place. The gesture is a source of origin stories, family stories, and a way to talk about life in Hawaii."

Hi, I was just wondering if you were aware of this or not.
Although I get it from a money point of view, the 'opt out' thing is still disappointing for me.
I wish it were an 'opt in' thing instead.
Yeah, I'm aware. But it's probably worth it to spread this around so other people here know that there's an 'opt out' option. This isn't something new, by the way. Just about every other major social media platform has already sold / is actively selling your data for AI training and for other purposes. The bigger players are training their own AI models on the data/activity/content of their userbase too. And whatever existent information could be scraped by external parties without the permission or knowledge of you or the platform's parent company has also already been gathered up. So, that this place is on board too is par for the course. Disappointing? Yes. But surprising? Not really. Oh boy, we humans sure are the hot commodity of our time. Hooray. We're the MVPs of capitalism (most valuable products).
Anyway, this is bleak, and I have to go make some cat animations.
Zib and Wick do sports.
Lackadaisy is on Patreon - there's extra stuff!
This is the final Generation Gap comic strip as the hawaii_herald is folding up publication. I'm taking a break due to managing numerous events and projects. Instead of "Sayonara," my farewell greeting is now "Arigatoo Gozaimasu." I'm grateful to the Hawaii Herald and Hawaii Hochi for hosting my comic strip for over 20 years. Thanks to all my fans and readers who enjoyed my comic strip.
I wish you all a safe & joyful holiday season!
Aloha & Ja mata!

A sweet one of Loving Reaper. The Reaper’s gentle reaction to the kid’s back-handed compliments and Life loosing it in the background are wonderful.

Comic Con HNL COUNTDOWN #2 • On SAT 08/05/23, I'm in 2 PANELS back-to-back! Both in Panel Room 2, RM 314
•Art Improv
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Think of "Whose Line is it Anyway," but instead of acting out scenes, artists from COMIC JAM HAWAII will sketch out the scenes. Ever wondered what Mission Impossible would be like if it starred Totoro, or what comic book character would be the worst to date? These are the kinds of things you'll see at Art Improv. Bonus; the sketches will be given away at the end of the panel!
•Um, Actually
7:15 PM - 8:45 PM
From Comic Con to Kamehameha, nerds are passionate about a lot of things, but there’s one thing they love above all else, and that is correcting people- This is the Um Actually panel- the game of nerdy corrections where contestants compete to find out the King of the Nerds!
*** ON SATURDAY, I AM SHUTTING DOWN MY ARTIST ALLEY TABLE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AROUND 5:00 PM ***
• Aug 4-6, 2023, Hawaii Convention Center • I'll be at ARTIST ALLEY #744 • Hope to see you there! 🙂

Aloha! Here’s my latest Calabash comic strip featured in today’s Honolulu @staradvertiser newspaper 😊 I’m not the first person to do this gag. There are multiple posts that talk about it, and I remember seeing a local meme on the many uses of a slipper (flip-flops for you mainlanders) in Hawai‘i but couldn’t find it until this morning when I wrote ‘Slippah’ instead of ‘Slipper’ 😊
•Have a great day off for those who get one. Keep smiling and stay safe, all! 😊

Hi all! Halloween is coming up, so the Halloween Store at Mochi Momo is open!
There is a new design this year: A Corny Halloween. It’s a cute design of two candy corns sharing a little hug. These two cuties are featured on t-shirts, sweaters, lunch bags, and totes. Find them and other designs at the Halloween Store on Mochi Momo.
Switcheroo!

Been having some fun with patterns. Here’s one with the Stock Fish design. If you like it, find the design (in pink or light blue) on flip flops over at the store.
