What’s portrayed in this comic is a little something a friend of mine likes to call “Restaurant Roulette”. Sometimes it goes well. Other times? Not so much. Having the help of smart phones and Google Translate has helped from time[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In case you missed the news last week, I will be selling the first Dear Korea book in Seoul this weekend! Come on down to the High Street Market in Itaewon and have lunch with me! While this week’s comic[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There are way too many badly drawn hands in this strip. I should really stop messing around with my settings. I may need to redraw this in the future. Sigh. For those who may not be aware, 호떡 (hotteok) is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve gotten to a point where if there’s even a chance of me going out to eat, I make sure to wear dark clothes. I don’t know how people manage to stay completely clean while wearing white shirts as they[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
..comes great hilarity. That last night might be a little confusing to those who don’t read the comic from the site. Oh well! So this has totally happened to my poor guy on multiple occasions. Every older man he runs[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This week’s comic was drawn live in front of a studio audience! Well, not exactly…but it was still live! Here’s a big thanks to everyone that came to watch me draw! Now you know my random comic secrets! I had[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hey readers! How are y’all? Did you have a nice weekend? Not sure if this is good news or bad news, but it’s looking like I’ll have to move update days to Tuesdays (starting this week). Sorry for those of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Happy Monday! I’m sure the majority of you living in Korea might be busy on vacation right now, but for those of you that aren’t, I hope you dig the new comic! Maybe it’s because it’s hot out, but I’m[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh jeez, I hope you guys don’t hate me yet. I do apologize for being a couple of days late with this strip. You know how us old people get. I’m already starting to lose track of time. Now that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Weird weather makes me feel weird. I am so not looking forward to the hotter months. I wish I stopped feeling weird. Despite my love for Korean food, I have been known to be terribly picky. As much as I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ack, this comic’s a week late. How embarrassing If it’s any consolation, I bring you this comic combined with news that Dear Korea will be going back to its old weekly schedule! Yay for regularity! Here’s hoping I don’t run out[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yay for a new comic! Also, yay for Pepero Day (even though it was technically yesterday)! For those of you that don’t know what 빼빼로 (pepero) is, it’s basically a cookie stick dipped in chocolate. Many of you might be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As a Korean that was born and raised in America, it wasn’t uncommon for me to run into weird experiences like this one. I’ll try not to do these too often, but I figure it would be interesting (or at[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Just stopping by to wish everyone here in Korea a great holiday! Enjoy your noms and have lots of fun! I’ll be taking over Seoul this weekend. There will be a comic on Monday, so keep an eye out for[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yay! A new update! Here’s hoping I can manage to get the next one done before vacation time! While I’m fully aware that three square meals is generally a good thing, I never really experienced this sort of reaction from[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One awkward situation I often find myself in while working on this comic is when coming up with the dialogue and wording in general takes significantly longer than drawing the actual thing. I guess I still have a bit of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As the comic says, Happy Lunar New Year!!! I guess this comic would be a little funnier if it wasn’t so sadly true. Ever since I’ve arrived in Korea, all I ever wanted was one of this mega-gift packs of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hey everyone! I’m back! Sorry again for the absence. I’ve apparently been sick with something that’s been kicking my behind. It’s not completely gone yet, but I’m at least well enough to spit out comics, which is all that matters[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m a couple of days late, but here is the newest comic! Sorry for taking so long with it, as it has been a heck of a week (and it’s just halfway done!). Anyways, Jeju mandarins are pretty delicious. I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hey everyone! I’m back! Those two weeks seriously just flew by. I guess that’s what it’s like when you’re busy with all sorts of crazy stuff. On that note, I apologize for the lack of background in this comic. No[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh no, I’m a day late! I sincerely apologize for that. I don’t even know if this comic actually applies anymore. What can I say? It’s been a busy few days. For those of you that aren’t familiar with the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Whoo~ This one took me a while to do. Anyways, it seems like everyone who enjoys chowing down on Korean BBQ from time to time has a favorite place that they consider to be the best. As a result, I’ve[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I think this is more of a personal experience for me, if anything. Needless to say, it’s not surprising why my mother didn’t tell me the whole truth when it came to making me eat the stuff. If you haven’t[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For those who haven’t been exposed to the greatness in Korea that is street food, the french fry battered hot dog is simply one of many insane creations that one can find just about anywhere. I’m probably the only person[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And here is part two! As great as jajangmyeon (자장면) is, it has gotten me into multiple embarrassing situations. Really, I think that tagline only works for people who aren’t completely inept like I am while eating delicious, sauce-covered foods.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hello, everyone! Long time no see! I am happy to say that we are back to updating on a regular schedule! It’s been a busy few weeks, but it’s great to be back. Anyways, I hope no one finds any[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
New comic! I seriously have a love/hate relationship with these guys. They’re pretty scary and even a bit annoying when I’m out and about, but all is instantly forgiven when I have my hot, delicious dinner delivered to my door[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
What’s this? A new comic? I wonder how much food actually goes to waste as a result of everyone trying to be polite.
I suddenly want a cheeseburger.
Oh what’s this? Look! It’s the first strip!
