		<title>An Interview with Rene Engström</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Rene recently finished her terribly famous (and terribly good) webcomic, Anders Loves Maria. You shouldn&#8217;t read this interview with her if you haven&#8217;t read Anders Loves Maria from start to finish! Go and do that now, if need be.
If you are an Anders Loves Maria fan and you have so many questions for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Donation Postcards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Recently, for a couple of months, I offered original, custom artworks to readers of Hilarity Comics who made PayPal donations to the site. And here they freaking are!
(I also added these to my deviantART gallery, with little descriptions that I couldn&#8217;t be bothered repeating here.)

		<title>ラーメン？</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sometimes I make this improvised, ramen-like thing at home. It&#8217;s not nearly as good as proper ramen, but it&#8217;s got miso and pork and it does the trick. Let&#8217;s call it &#8217;sorta-ramen&#8217;, or 「ソータ　ラーメン」 if you want it to seem authentic.

		<title>Bill Watterson interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes ended 15 years ago. We present this rare interview with reclusive creator Bill Watterson &#8212; the first in over 20 years.
Chicken Nation: Calvin and Hobbes was a wonderful comic strip.
Bill Watterson: Thank you; I was very happy with it.
CN: It ended a long time ago, didn&#8217;t it?
BW: Yes, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chocolate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I love martial arts films. I mean, obviously. Does anyone not love martial arts films? Anyone who counts, I mean.
I&#8217;ve just watched Chocolate, directed by Prachya Pinkaew, who did the Tony Jaa films Ong-Bak and Tom-Yum-Goong. It&#8217;s about an autistic girl (called Zen) who becomes a martial arts genius by watching Ong-Bak and Tom-Yum-Goong. Brilliant. [...]]]></description>

		<title>I hate my 2010 diary.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spit on it; ptooie, ptooie!
For the past three years I&#8217;ve had attractive, well-designed Japanese diary/planners. This year, I&#8217;m back in Australia, where every diary is a piece of shit. Most are black on the outside; those that aren&#8217;t are garish and/or ugly. All diaries have white pages printed with black ink, and only black [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy New Decade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
That&#8217;s a nengajou commissioned by my friend Justin in Shizuoka (the city I lived in, in Japan). I was so pleased with it that I asked Justin if I could use it for my own New Year&#8217;s emails. Thanks, Justin!
2010 is the year of the tiger, so eat lots of Frosties I guess? Or you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Various Illustrations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This post was originally a portfolio page, but I&#8217;ve changed my mind about how to organise such stuff on this website. You can now consider this gallery an overview of the last few years, up &#8217;til the time of posting.
The illustrations below are sampled from both personal and professional work, including a number of commissions [...]]]></description>
