More Mimei Sakamoto

I found a link to one of the comics she drew- looks like she's into the slightly bitter, snarky social commentary end of things. And, from what I understand from my penpals and Japanese friends, this is pretty accurate. (I am no expert on Japan or anything, I've just read a lot of books about the culture, women's culture in particular.)

Kind of chilling, the choices you get in Japan as a woman. You'd better get married, and still preferably before 25, or else you're "Christmas Cake", the cake no one wants to buy after the 25th.

In other things, I have extra work at VGSX this week, and an issue of Furrlough to finish up before tomorrow morning. (The A-Kon program guide went off to the printers safe and sound... our back cover ad looks very nice this year, I'll see if I can't get a jpg to post here...) I'm tired.
