It still seems bleak and slow on my pictures lately. I had a small handful of incomplete comics, due to this mental and creative drought as well as my apathy and lack of physical motivation on drawing. But then, I was looking back in my old picture I did back on February with that kappa. That is, if you remember ISAO & BABURU [3-2-2019] [Image: fav.me/dd174kg]

To my surprise, I felt my body and mind finally getting into drawing something. I had some more that I ought to do more of that farmer boy and that reformed and cute kappa. That is, if I keep up with this inspiration from KITARO OF THE GRAVEYARD {GeGeGe no Kitarō} (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎), by Shigeru Mizuki [1922 - 2015] and a little from YOKAI WATCH.

While I was drawing the pond part, I haven't formulated the entire single page comic yet. However, some time this morning, I thought of THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE from Aesop's Fables. That was random, I know; but when that came to me, I thought up a better idea for a gag.

And I think this would suit well for Babaru, too. Don't you think kappas would be into dark humor?

Note 1: That thing with that laugh Baburu made? How that went "Bebobobo..." [ベボボボ...]? I blame Eiichiro Oda, creator of One Piece, for this. But yet again, it fits well with someone who goes underwater like this kappa here. I guess you could say that I was inspired or tempted.
