…I bet you thought Ngumbe doesn’t enjoy the festivity during those days. Well, he can’t be grumpy all year long. Can you guess what he’s dressed up as?…

There you go, now we all know what’s behind Ngumbe’s basic grumpiness…

The Smurfs! They are one of my earliest memories of comic-reading, along with Tintin, Lucky Luke, Asterix and Batman, really. Haven’t read them in a long time… What about you, dear readers? Any of you read them as a child?

You have a good week out there, keep on reading comics and see you in the funny papers! Joerg

Hey ho!
Everybody who thought Ngumbe’s romance had a tragic end, there’s still HOPE!!!

In case you’re wondering about the strange name of his love interest, “Shu Thu Zar” means “beauty queen” and she’s another inhabitant of the Cologne Zoo.

Ngumbe got to know her during his “Free Ngumbe” adventure and is obviously still very interested in her.

Oh, I just wanted to let you know that I integrated a “search function” in the right sidebar. And from now on I’ll give my strips “tags”, so that you can find them more easy.

Enjoy!

I think everything which could be said about Avatar has already been said.
Although…

Of course I couldn’t avoid seeing it and I’m not regretting it. My opinion about it correspond to the little elephant’s one and I’m okay with it.
Only a couple of days later I watched District 9 and was a bit surprised how similar the stories were (they even both had a Mecha fight at the end ). I have to say that I felt much more involved with the characters in District 9 and I really couldn’t foresee the ending (contrary to Avatar).
That surely is just my opinion, but I thought this was an interesting example on how differently two stories can be told which are practically the same.
Just my 50 cents…:)

Let’s hope they’ll be done with the fine-tuning by tonight!:)

Oh man, the new functions of my favourite ad service Project Wonderful drives me crazy! I haven’t quite fully understood what’s happening. Can you see any ads displayed where you are?

Oh, sorry I’m so tired after finally watching the two hour LOST season premiere. So many questions, still so little answers! But I’m hooked anyway, so I can only be patient!:)

So long, my english speaking fellows! Have a cool week wherever you are!

As you can see our plus-sized friend is in trouble now. Let’s hope he gets along with his new “zoomates”…;)

And now for something completely different. Here’s a picture of evidence of me and my new stringed friend!
I’m not ready for a concert yet (or an entire song), but I WILL practise every day, I promise!!!
