19th century haiku poets
I love anachronism. I thought it would be funny to have people from the 19th century talk about a "quickie" (a quick sexual encounter) and a "kukai" (haiku meeting). The picture come from a royalty-free clipping book.

Old Pond - Melon
"Don't imitate me, it's as boring as the two halves of a melon." -- Basho
This melon gave me lots of trouble. At first, I drew the lines vertically. I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what exactly. I put the comic aside for 4 weeks. Then one day at the market I realized the lines on melons are horizontal. Bingo!
