I felt like drawing Luffy from One Piece.  I can't remember when I started reading it.  Probably before my comic started.  I know I was reading Naruto before then.  I stopped reading Naruto because I didn't feel like I really needed to read the sequel series.  For a while I wasn't reading much of anything regularly and it was really starting to affect my own ability to create.  Recently I started picking up random titles I thought looked good, or that got recommended to me just so that I wasn't constantly inundated in the misery that permeates the rest of the internet basically.  Consuming media that resonates with you, as a creator, refills that well that you draw your own creative water from.  

I used to read a lot of webcomics but all the titles I liked either ended, or the creators became deranged in the last 8 years or so.  Now I just read Questionable Content out of some grim sense of obligation to my past.  I can't bring myself to give up that last little bit of internet culture that made me thing "Hey, I could do that."  

Anyway, what I'm reading now are as follows in no particualr order:

One Piece

Sousou no Freiren

One Punch Man

My Hero Academia/Vigilantes/Team Up Missions 

Komi Can't Communicate

Dungeon Meishi

Zom 100

I'm Dating A Dark Summoner

Edomae Elf

Bijin Onna Joushi Takizawa San

Please Don't Bully Me Nagataro 

Kimi No Todoke 

Dragon Ball Super

Vinland Saga

and probably others I'm forgetting.

Since they all update at various intervals I've got all these going just so I can float around to whatever one has a chapter out at any given time.  I try to buy the physical releases if they were ever printed in English, but for some I'm just stealing them until such a time that I can buy translated volumes if ever that time comes.  

Anyway, this is just something to remind you all that I'm doing things outside of the comic when I can, or whatever.  I'm still making extra comic pages too I just don't have one ready.
