Latest Comic:

As far as the story for Giving goes, yes, that story has ended. However, I am considering adding other Thai/Asian Folklore under this same title :) So if you see other random stories, that would be why. I don't know when I will have the time to start it, since I'm in the process of juggling three other comics, but... I don't want this comic's name to just become another waste of internet space :<

So, in time, I hope to offer some new myths and tales under this title :D I will note the shorts' titles when I start the stories at some point. The style of the tales will remain the same (one dominant color mixed with black and white).

Firstly, I would like to say a big "Thank you!" to those that commented, faved and read this comic so far. It's gratifying to know some people like this stuff :3 It makes it even more worth while.

And now, for some background on this comic:

When I was little, whenever my mother dropped food, she would say "Okay, you can have it" and place it someplace off to the side for a few hours (rather than throwing it away). I never knew why she did that, but in time, I started to do it as well.

When I was about 14 or 15, I finally asked her why she did and said that. She told me that the "someone" asking for it was a departed soul... one that couldn't make it to heaven or hell. They didn't accept their passing, so they still cling to earthen things, such as food. They need the food to survive because they still believe they are living (to some extent), so the only way they can eat is if you don't want to eat the food. So, they make it less appetizing to you by making you drop it for them to take.

However, throwing it away takes the food back from them, thus starving them. This leaves them very disgruntled, so they follow you around and bring you "bad luck" until they find something else they can have. But letting them have the food makes them more of a protector, in that they'll keep bad fortune from you (because they're not causing it).
