it's a sad end for that little kiwi
That kiwi was hiding at the bottom of our fruit bowl for ... well, it was a while. It's a little embarrassing and I think we're going to gloss over the details ... ! But we wanted to share this particular incident as a cautionary tale.
Also, guys, it was gross. Really the worst. When Yuko picked it up it kind of squished and all this juice came out.
Ew.
All shipping from hereon out will get done when we return from visiting our respective parents! Sorry about that, we couldn't really bring any stock with us.
Also, now that we can talk about it, the reason George is moving to Portland, Oregon is because he got himself a fancypants job at Oni Press as Operations Director! If you have a moment, please feel free to congratulate him. That'd be swell. :D
Gonna keep it short this time! Happy Holidays, and steer clear of those fruits of deceit that might be lurking in your kitchen.

Seriously. I took off my shoes while leaving drama club, and noticed one of them was full of green mold. I had been wearing it for four hours. Needless to say, the janitor must've been suprised.
ewwwwwww

Yeek.
Comment by Tara (not verified) Tue, 12/22/2009 - 20:38Oh dear.
I remember finding a really old kiwi in my parents fridge and it had shriveled up to about the size of a walnut. EWW! Curiosity getting the best of me, I squeezed it: bad idea.
Oh ew!
Comment by Raptorix (not verified) Tue, 12/22/2009 - 20:53I'm surprised you couldn't smell it in your fruit bowl!
Also: I spy a Yuko in that Oni Press photo~

Comment by SarahSongbrd (not verified) Tue, 12/22/2009 - 20:58I have done something very similar to this. Was seemingly just as fun.

Congrats George! Good luck
Comment by Hilary (not verified) Tue, 12/22/2009 - 21:46Congrats George! Good luck with your new gig!
Hahaha... Grohaculations... I love it. I am going to use this word on other people as well, just because it has a nice ring to it. "Grohaculations on your graduation!" "Grohaculations, it's a girl!"
Ha. Why do I get the feeling
Comment by Halconnen (not verified) Tue, 12/22/2009 - 22:23Ha. Why do I get the feeling George getting that job is related to his Grin Of Death(tm)?
Hah!
Comment by SgtDC (not verified) Tue, 12/22/2009 - 23:36I appreciate how Yuko's left hand is cringing away from the kiwi, as if with a mind of its own.
Where's ___?
Comment by peterntrinh (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 00:16What makes me laugh about that photo on the Oni Press news post there is that Yuko's in the photo with Odlaw's stripes on her scarf.
Grohaculations from me, too!
My God! I half expected it
Comment by Sneaks (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 00:20My God! I half expected it to start oinking!
Congrats to George!
Comment by Eto (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 00:42Okay that kiwi thing is disgusting. :x Haha oh the adventures of discovered food.
But tell George congrats from us! If he's ever in Seattle for a a comic con, we'll come and bother him! :D
Goose BERRIES
Comment by Dust (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 01:12I'm living in New Zealand right now and I've had my fill of kiwis.. and kiwi fruit. I love their other name, goose berries. hehe
That was probably one off kiwi fruit if it looked like a potato. ew
A lesson for all you
Comment by Kurt (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 06:02A lesson for all you Americans: It's called a KIWIFRUIT. And Gooseberries has got to be the stupidest alternative name ever :p
Mystery Veggie
Comment by A.L. (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 04:36That is totally gross and I hope I never come across a kiwi like that.Fortunately for me I tend to eat kiwis on sight if I happen to have one within my presence and it looks ok.
On the subject of George,that is totally awesome and congrats to him.Hopefully he won't turn megalomaniac and try to take over the west coast with his new found powers of publishing and managing.
What are 'Taters precious?
Comment by Asmodaeus (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 05:34Whatever 'Taters are...they shouldn't be Kiwi fruit. I remember once at my parents place, my mother asked me to sort out the vegetables in the kitchen. Now, in our house, the Potatos were kept in a LARGE earthenware pot with a lid on it. (Still are I think) Thing is, they'd been there some time. As it turns out, when a Potato rots in warm, dry conditions...its skin stays whole, but the inside liquidises whilst retaining its colour. XD So I was sorting out the Potatos, picked up a certain one a bit briskly...and it exploded in a potatoey custard all up my arm and across the floor. XD
So, the moral of this story is; Beware the old Potato, for it is a fearsome and volatile creature!
Still loving the comic by the way, much awesomness abounds.
It's a sad testament to how
Comment by Kaotik4266 (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 08:00It's a sad testament to how much time I spend on the wrong parts of the internet that I read "shipping" and it takes me a while to realize you're talking about mailing things.
And Kiwi fruits are awesome! How could you leave one around for so long without eating it?
Before it went bad. Not after.
Er...
Comment by ladymercury (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 09:45Don't mean to be a nitpicker, but with reference to the alt-text, it's spelled avocado, not avacado.

Oh noooo I will fix that
Comment by Ananth Wed, 12/23/2009 - 15:41Oh noooo I will fix that right now! Thanks!
True Story
Comment by Joe D. (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 11:57In the apartment I was living in over the summer, I started noticing that something smelled like Nasty Onion. However, as there were no onions to be found, I let it slide. Flash forward about a week... In an epic bout of "god dammit, we're CLEANING," we discovered the source of the odor: Nasty Onions. Nasty Onions with maggots coming out of the bottom. We also discovered that the cereal boxes on the top shelf had become infested with moth and their crawly larvae.
The Lesson: When living with friends, NEVER EVER EVER assume "oh, someone will eat that eventually." For your own sanity and sanitation, throw that crap away.
She picked it up thinking it
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 13:43She picked it up thinking it was a potato...but it was in the fruit bowl? Do you keep potatoes in with the fruit? They are tubers, silly people! They must be kept separate from the fruits, lest there be a fruity-tuber war that breaks out when they can no longer tolerate the differences between them.
Can't we all just get along?
Comment by Joe (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 22:05But that's segregation! And segregation is wrong!
No, what we need to do is make them play football together. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll make a catchy Remember The Titans-style halftime show.
Um.... Shouldn't it be
Comment by Moe (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 15:58Um.... Shouldn't it be furry? Or did you get the golden kiwifruits that aren't furry? When I read the title I thought it would be a little kiwi bird or a New Zealander. ^^; Don't really call kiwifruits just kiwis over here.
But all-in-all ew....
I went to a training coure
Comment by Lupus Draconis (not verified) Wed, 12/23/2009 - 22:56I went to a training coure in Virginia, and I was getting food for the two days or so I was going to be out. Said food included a can of pears.
I didn't notice until after I got home that there was a hole in the can, and very questionable dark liquid on the inside of the bag. My room-mate and I didn't want to open it properly, so we threw it hard as we could into the road to try to get it to open.
It worked, and the pears were BLACK. They looked like tar. It was disgusting. ._.

Portland
Comment by Kia (not verified) Fri, 12/25/2009 - 00:39Portland Oregon, you say? I thought you meant Maine since you guys are all... East Coasty. Portland is awesome! Very rainy though. If you visit George, go with him to Saturday Market and visit Spoonman (they make stuff out of cutlery!).
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH it is my
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 12/25/2009 - 23:22AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH it is my Portland! Oh the adventures we will have! And when I say adventures, I mean never running into him but thinking about it and then feeling like a creeper and defenetly not hanging around Oni press all by myself late at night.
squishy
Comment by Fraoch (not verified) Thu, 01/07/2010 - 03:06My parents and I have found old oranges and apples that are almost completely dessicated and brown in the fruit drawer. Usually after that there is an impromptu gutting of said drawer.
