That is quite possibly the coolest thing I have seen all day.

Deer in Nara are psychotic aggressive that for whatever reason, get free run of the entire place. They develop an monumental attitude with no natural predators around.

Awesome picture! Thank goodness your Dad lived there before Nara got weirdo mascots like Sento-kun though :P(http://fieldweb.co.jp/designblog/2008/04/18/images/0418.gif).

Hey Yuko, my apologies if you answered this before, but are you doing actual screentone on paper or is it all digital?

The last time my parents asked me for a favor it was to proofread a letter to some higher up at work. I was supposed to fix the English. At some point I gave up and just wrote a new letter because it was that bad. Yuko's dad's request is a lot cooler. Not sure if it's less frustrating. Cooler, yes.

I still think this is one of the greatest phone conversations of all time.

What.
The.
F*&K.

Even knowing the whole story, this is funny as hell. Because you still had that phone conversation with your dad, and that drawing still resulted.

That is the fourth most bizarre thing I have ever seen. Now I need to make it happen in real life. I'm off to the zoo!

...I am at a loss for words ._. however, this is utterly awesome. :D

i thought this was awesome when i saw it on LJ, and i still think it's awesome. and quite silly.

Fucking awesome!

From what little you've told me about your pops, the bad monkey must totally be him.

I actually went to Nara once. The deer are all up in your business unless you feed their pushy asses. Well, faces. Feed their faces. I think they'd kick you really fucking hard if you tried to feed their asses.

Deer.

Haha, that is awesome! XD I love how you get smaller and smaller in each panel, as the weirdness of the request increases. The little illustration is great, too. :)

I loved the deer in Nara. <3 I saw one having a wrestling match with an old man over a newspaper, and one deer that had learned to shake hands like a dog. They were so cute! ^3^

I guess it's pretty cheesy to say, but I laughed out loud at about 50% of the comics and smiled at the rest of them (and today's AppleGeeks). Thanks for making my day :)

Monkeys have tails. Fail!

This really made my day

Epic pic is epic. And it makes a great wallpaper :3

It's surreal. How did you dad like the picture?

That is the greatest story ever.

Also, the end result was insanely cute and made of awesome.

From what I could see before... nobody has posted this yet, but I think this would make an absolutely kick ass t-shirt, and I'd buy one! <3 it.

That's an awesome image.
I came here because of your great work at AppleGeeks (the best they've had in a long time, honestly). I love your work. :)

I'd buy that t-shirt!! Great one, Yuko!

I saw your ad on Dominic Deegan and am so glad I clicked. I'm hooked and will soon convert my husband to the dark side. A+

You know, the great thing about this picture is that, weird and slightly odd the concept may be, it's actually really cute. I mean, look at the monkey on the deer. The face is soo adorable...^^

Wow..I need to lay off the caffeine.

I know several people have said this already, but I just want to build on it. I would totally buy this as a T-Shirt. It's hilarious.

The deer thing I mean.
When I lived in Texas, there was a petting Zoo that had herds of deer walking around freely and you could go right up to them and pet them. Well there was this one herd that no one was going up to and being a 5-year-old I did so and next thing I knew they were all licking me! And I mean ALL of them. Thought it was pretty funny at the time.
I had to be fished out by my parents.
We have a picture of me hugging one (pre incident), and I suppose I am one of the only people in my family who does not go hunting. Ironically, I love venison (deer meat) :)

i am unaware of this species of monkey, but the monkies are missing their tails.

When I was a kid I got stuck with goat in a petting zoo and when I ran out of food to feed them they cornered me and started eating my shirt too. Thankfully a nice old man pulled me out and gave me to my mother.

I have reread this comic five times in as many hours. It remains completely, utterly, totally hilarious. Thank you; the many LOLs were much needed!

Clearly, your dad is awesome. Also, the result of his request is awesome.

All the talk of the crazy deer in Nara reminds me of squirrels in Minnesota. On campus, they jump out of garbage cans at you. One came and sat on my backpack while I was out on the mall, and I fed him cheez-its until I had to go to class. Cute but disturbing.

thats the most awesome picture i have ever seen... i followed you from Questionable Content.... thanks for you art..... very very cool!
