This is a strip I did for The Bench this past week. I thought Ghost Dog was a pretty cool movie, and their website has some interesting stuff including the small image here of a samurai upsetting a go board!

It turns out it's a small world: Remi, who does the fun music comic Too Fat to be a RockStar, saw this one at The Bench and wrote me:

The main character (Forest Whitaker) bases his life around the Hagakure, a Japanese book on the Samurai warrior ethos. Whitaker occasionally reads from this book. The English translation used in the film was done by my High School Japanese Teacher William S Wilson. Jim Jarmusch is his favorite filmmaker. Weird.
