what a MUGNIFICENT collection
Ugh, that puns hurts me more than it hurts you. Oof.
Yuko and I keep talking about cataloguing her mug collection and so that's just what's going on here. This is the tip of the mug iceberg. I think my favorite mug might be GIRL GIRL GIRL.
Day X of working on volume 2! By which I mean I've lost track. We're getting there! And getting back to work, see you next week!

CALLING NANOWRIMO JW FANS
Comment by Firework the Comic (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 16:25If any of you guys are doing nanowrimo this year PLEASE stop by the JW geekout thread I just made to discuss this and other webcomics. It's in the all ages coffee house, here!
http://nanowrimo.org/en/forums/all-ages-coffee-house/threads/22868
Also, I'm going to buy that second volume, so get on it right now! I didn't have money to buy the first volume, but you need to give us a release date man, I can't wait to own all the awesome comics that appeared after the 1st year of JW. Even if I'm not a cat person, you can really see the development of Yuko's art in the strips. I'm going to buy yellow peril vol. 1 and johnny wander vol. 2. And the cover design had better be sweet and a little bit like vol. 1's cover design but more so xD

Hah!

Brontosau- um
Comment by Nik (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 17:07My friend has the inaccurate plastic mug too! People's mug collections can be fun to go through... mine's awfully boring though. Good luck with the ongoing volume 2!
Oh my gosh, I have that
Comment by Lucy (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 17:25Oh my gosh, I have that plastic Brontosaurus mug! It leaks, though...
I've been mugged!
Comment by Nick (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 17:27Aside from the pun, what can I say? Uh... my favourite mug has a tortoise jumping up and catching a frisbee on it.
My parents have a hilarious
Comment by Kitty (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 18:07My parents have a hilarious amount of random mugs. Good to know that other people love odd mugs too.
Archaeology
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 18:18Hundreds of years from now when future archaeologists examine the pottery remains of our civilization, the plastic brontosaurus mug will be deemed the pinnacle of second millennium household mugs.
All the other mug fragments will then be erroneously arranged to depict other dinosaurs in a similarly inaccurate manner.
!
Comment by Spooks (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 19:58I'm pretty sure I have that bunnies in trees mug!
And that plastic dinosaur mug was one of my favorites when I was a kid! Mine had a "T-Rex" on the other side though.
Are these inaccurate mugs
Comment by Elizabeth (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 20:02Are these inaccurate mugs from the Chicago Field Museum? Because I think I remember having a Brontosaurus, but I definitely have a T-Rex and a Stegosaurus.
:o
Comment by Sary (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 20:04Is your inaccurate plastic dinosaur mug GREEN? If so, I TOTALLY HAVE THE SAME ONE. My mom uses it to keep coin-rolling papers in Dx I'll relocate said papers to a ziplock eventually when I move out >_> THE MUG IS MINE!

Comment by Tawny (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 20:29My chemistry professor in college used to collect mugs from different countries. He would always test the glazes for heavy metals. The craziest glaze he found was not from some third world country, but a glaze containing both lead and mercury from *dun dun dun daaaa* Vancouver, Canada. Damn you, Canadians!
You've got a handsome mug
Comment by Emily (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 21:29Unsatisfactory pun is unsatisfactory. I've been working on my own mug collection for a few years, but it is slow work since I only add to it once or twice a year. My current favorite mug has happy vegetables lined up with their names written in English, katakana and hiragana next to them. (:
I think Yuko's mug
Comment by Lyndse (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 21:58I think Yuko's mug collection is pretty awesome. It's cool to collect unusual things.
I collect stuff, but you know, just stuff that people normally collect. Like buttons (the kind you pin on). Or corny, tacky souveniers.
I used to collect coins and foreign money, but not anymore. Long story. :|
Graduation
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2011 - 23:53Might just be my Astigmatism here, but does that mug look like it says "Proud to be Class of '63" to anyone else?

Comment by Jason (not verified) Fri, 11/04/2011 - 09:21No, I read it right. I just felt old when I did.
Woo mugs!
Comment by Kuragari (not verified) Fri, 11/04/2011 - 00:16My mug is a year of the monkey mug with characteristics of the monkey. I got it in an asian store in albany. It's legit. :3
Dollar Store!
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 11/04/2011 - 00:18I'm Canadian, and for some reason (The Simpsons?) I thought Americans called dollar stores "99 cent stores"... maybe that applies in some places, but I'm glad to see you're not ALL needlessly polysyllabic.
This is a very cute collection by the way. And "mugnificient" made me laugh.

Comment by Leah (not verified) Fri, 11/04/2011 - 14:52In California we have The Dollar Store, Dollar Tree, and the 99 Cent store (Open 9 days a week!).
Woah. I graduated the same year as Yuko. For some reason I always assume people are older than me.
Yep
Comment by Old Dude (not verified) Sat, 11/05/2011 - 14:35You're telling me. I graduated a year before she did. Now I feel old and lazy for having achieved so little by comparison.
I also graduated in
Comment by Alex (not verified) Sun, 11/06/2011 - 18:20I also graduated in ought'three. Felt good to see that mug on display here and I have no idea why.
Xmas Mugs
Comment by C.D. Reimer (not verified) Fri, 11/04/2011 - 01:01I have an odd assortment of Christmas mugs. Probably because there were $0.50 each the day after Christmas. Did I mention that I'm a cheap bastard? :)
Mugging mugger mugs.
Comment by Pairou (not verified) Fri, 11/04/2011 - 02:54That French mug looks like it could be a soup mug... it's all wide and such.
I remember the older mug comic! I'm glad to get to see more of the collection. (Mugs are awesome.) My favorite one on this one is the cat mug... meow!

Cmon don't be stuck up, all your dinosaur mugs will someday be inaccurate..
Thirty Hurts has and will
Comment by Aaron Diaz (not verified) Fri, 11/04/2011 - 20:25Thirty Hurts has and will always be my favorite mug at your place. I demand that, on the day I turn 30, I get to drink out of that mug. The mug will be filled with POISON.

Comment by Katzilla (not verified) Sat, 11/05/2011 - 10:49I have a collection of five-ish rainbow mugs and one Jack Daniel's mug. The Jack Daniel's mug is for my husband because he refuses to use my 'gay' rainbow mugs (he's not-homophobic, that's just his joke about my silly mugs). I WANT MORE RAINBOW MUGS. My next mug should be a Pink Floyd 'Dark Side of the Moon' mug, that way my husband will have two mugs he can use!
Because Pink Floyd can't be gay ;D

Comment by wynden (not verified) Sat, 11/05/2011 - 12:32Great, now I need a rabbits-in-trees mug. Did not see that coming.
Mugs
Comment by Andrew DAmbrose (not verified) Sat, 11/05/2011 - 15:24I actually work at good will. Some of the mugs we get are the shiz, and some just make me want to curl up into a ball. It's really hit or miss
My favourite mug.
Comment by Rob (not verified) Sun, 11/06/2011 - 19:46Its a mug with a big lady wearing an apron with a carrot on it. Its made in some ancient plastic that makes it really lightweight.
I love it because its my rpg-mug. Spent many a day playing dnd and drinking Lapsang from that baby.
Puns hurt?
Comment by the1truesushiboy (not verified) Sun, 11/06/2011 - 23:08What? Utter mendacious confabulation! If all the word's a stage, my life's a play on words. Puns are a necessary part of one's verbal arsenal. Why, rapier wit is the only way to make truly ingenious, cutting remarks. Wordplay is a weapun of mass discussion. Though, it's best to be careful when going about it. After all, it's all fun and games until somebody loses an I.
Now I wish I knew where my
Comment by Korbl (not verified) Mon, 11/07/2011 - 16:50Now I wish I knew where my old Barnum circus tiger mug was... Probably got thrown out. Damn.
My current mug is one of those bell-shaped cafe mugs, from Weta, with a weta cricket and the company logo printed on the outside, and a smaller weta cricket on the inside. My mother hates it, I love it. Especially since she broke my favourite mugs from Dancing Dragon.... }:(.

Oh, it really surprised me
Comment by dryadka (not verified) Tue, 11/08/2011 - 15:56Oh, it really surprised me that Yuko graduated the same year as me! Though the education system is a bit different in our coutry :)
My crazy mugs are sending a greeting to your collection ;)
Oh, man, I want to put this
Comment by Esther (not verified) Tue, 11/08/2011 - 18:44Oh, man, I want to put this on my wall in my kitchen. I also have a slight mug obsession- it's an affordable compulsion!

Comment by bloop (not verified) Tue, 11/08/2011 - 23:55OH MY GOD, I think I also have the "Happy Birthday" mug. Crazy!

Comment by SJ (not verified) Fri, 11/11/2011 - 20:32HOLY CRAP I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY FOR HAVING A MUG COLLECTION!
thank you. This means so much to me.
MUGS!
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Sat, 11/12/2011 - 20:17I've got a small mug collection, with an upside down Santa (I guess they painted it upside down without realizing it.), a bunch of salamanders, and dogs driving sailboats.
Shot glasses
Comment by DanicusRex (not verified) Wed, 10/31/2012 - 07:29I have a similar thing going with Goodwill and shot glasses. So far, the crown jewel of my collection is a shot glass with a viking ship on it, sideways, gold around the rim of the glass, and, inexplicably, the word "ISLAND" in all caps below the viking ship. just the word ISLAND.
It's truly beautiful to behold.
Cup collections are awesome.
