      Deconstructing Achewood

      Posted by Orato

      Ominously enough I finished a page of about 10 of my first strips and put it on line around 2a.m., Sept. 11, 2001. So as you can imagine, six or seven hours later no one was going to read my comic strip because that was the day the World Trade Centers fell. It was a pretty inauspicious beginning...

      I hate hand-guns. Shot-guns are made for hunting game (wild animals), which is necessary to help keep populations in check to prevent over-population, which can cause serious eco-damage, including leading to the extinction of numerous different species. But hand-guns are made for one purpose: killing humans.

      Burma In Clouds

      Posted by Orato

      Burma has one of the world's most odious governments, and accordingly Burmese have watched their standards of living, welfare and general situation decline progressively since the 1950s and 60s. On top of a military dictatorship, the country is wracked by civil war, poverty, corruption and diseases like malaria and HIV/AIDS. While this has happened and happens, the world has looked and looks away. I wanted to see and feel it for myself...

      Help Wanted: Resume Of A Sex Trade Worker

      Posted by Orato

      I was brought back to thinking about my past life as a prostitute because I found myself struggling financially. I’ve never had to worry about money until now. Being off the street now for many years and never wanting to go back to that lifestyle, I’m searching for new ways to manage.

      A Blue Needle

      Posted by Orato

      What now seems so long ago in the onslaught of evidence in this 13-week-old trial, is the mention of a hypodermic needle in the “jail cell” tape, in which Pickton bragged to an undercover officer that a good way to kill a person is with windshield wiper fluid in a needle. I was revolted that someone would think of that, but we are dealing with a pretty sick case here.

      Dilana's Supersoul

      Posted by Orato

      While Dilana is well known as the runner up on the Rock Star Supernova reality TV show, she's been a singer, songwriter and performer since she was five years old. Nowadays, she's feeding off her own audience, digging deep into her soul and delivering shivers up the collective spine of fans, from America to Iceland and abroad. Dilana says she longs for the sixties, because the music was so pure.

      I Was Nearly Killed

      Posted by Orato

      It was my second visit to Jalalabad. But this time the route was different. This route was insecure and, in 1994, when rival jihadi groups were killing each other mercilessly to get power, it was the most dangerous route as there were different rival commanders every one-mile. And they had plenty of check posts where their fighters looted and abused going and coming people.
