text says i remember watching my older brother play with legos one time. drawing with baby kwai on the left holding a doll while watching her brother who's sitting on the floor, play with lego blocks that are spread out in front of him He was building a space jet but freestyle (without instructions) and then there's a drawing of the little lego space jet that he's building "and I remember thinking to myself" In wavy text: how does he know what he wants it to look like? How does he know what parts he needs next? How does he know what to make? Many question marks with baby kwai looking on with one raised eyebrow Because all I saw when I looked at loose lego, drawing of loose lego blocks, was loose lego.

continuing the munich/ oktoberfest travelogue comics! this is how we got woken up for our first day (1/2)

#artsky #webcomics #comicart #diarycomics #autobiocomics #comics #kwaiary
drawing of kwai and G sleeping in twin beds that are separated by a small set of drawers with a lamp on top of it. to the left is a window with a curtain over it. a very disruptively lettered "BWAAA!!!" is drawn blowing open the curtain and into G and Kwai's room, who are jolted awake by this loud noise G with half awake eyes turns towards Kwai and asks, HOLY SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING. to the left of the panel, you see some sound emanatas with music notes to indicate there is music being played outside. kwai is also half awake and replies, "i think it's the opening parade..." "i didn't realise we'd be so close to it though" to the right of the panel are the emanatas and music notes that are signifying that the music is continuing to play outside their room window

travel struggles (1/2)

#artsky #webcomics #comicart #diarycomics #autobiocomics #comics #kwaiary
drawing a sign on top that says immigration. to the left, someone is putting their passport onto the scanner and the screen goes ding! and shows a checkmark and the words "please move forward". next to that person, in the middle, is kwai who is also scanning her passport. however, the screen this time shows a cross and the words "please go to a counter" with a arrow pointing to the left. there's one more person on the right but they are cut off. kwai slides her passport through the little opening in the window towards the immigration officer at the counter. She says, "hi! the machine told me to come to the counter?" "here's my passport" drawing of the immigration officer with a serious face as he says, "this counter is for EU citizens. You are not an EU citizen. Please go to the other counter" drawing of kwai pulling back her passport and making a very embarrassed/ awkward expression, saying, "oh! sorry! my bad! i didn't know! sorry!"

I love doing things with my friends (2/2)

#travelcomics #comic #comicart #webcomic #diarycomics #autobiocomics #artsky #oktoberfest
Drawing of kwai and G holding many types of bavarian foods and eating them, including duck, chicken, sausage, and pretzels. The text says, "... Ate a bunch of food" Drawing is of kwai and G on a small roller coaster car, much like the ones at fairs/ carnivals. Kwai is having a good time but G is crying and yelling "why am I scared???" the text underneath says, "and had a lot of fun" Drawing of kwai in a Dirndl and G in lederhosen High fiving each other while they are jumping into the air, the word friendship! Is above their head and underneath them the text says, "but the best part was getting to do it all with G."

mini travel diary comic (1/2)

#travelcomics #comic #comicart #webcomic #diarycomics #autobiocomics #artsky #oktoberfest
drawing of kwai and G (kwai's friend) meeting at the airport terminal. kwai is running in from the bottom left of the frame and G is standing closer towards the top right. the text says i went to oktoberfest with my bestie G on it's opening weekend There are drawings of small cute headshots of both kwai and G waving their hands around excitedly as they shout together "i can't believe that we're in munich together!!" The drawing is of kwai in a Dirndl, the traditional bavarian costume for women, that is made up of three parts, the blouse, the dress, and the apron. Traditionally, the length of the skirt is at least knee length, and the placement of the apron knot has a meaning (left: single, right: taken, middle: maiden). Next to kwai is G dressed in a white shirt and a lederhosen which is quite tight and traditionally made out of leather and is quite heavy. The costume for men also include knee length socks, while the shirts can be white or checkered. The text says, "we fully committed to the whole thing, like wore the traditional bavarian attire and everything" Drawing of kwai and G sitting at opposite ends of a table and they are cheering their beer steins together while making eye contact and also yelling Prost! The text underneath says, "*apparently it's considered bad luck if you don't make eye contact when you cheers someone!" the lower text in bigger black letters says, we drank beer
