Ken Singshow is known on both sides of the Pacific as an
extrodinary artist. In fact, he is one of the few independant artists which
publishes on both in Japan and in North America. His creation, Andorozons,
mixes both funny animals of North American cartoons with the Japanese sentai
team
He is also fan of North American anime or cartoons which takes alot of people here by surprise. We think of our stuff as stale and unimaginative while anime as cool. Oddly alot of Japanese fans love foriegn films and animation and look to other cultures to induce new ideas into their shows. Funny animals, which common to animation from Beatrix Potter books to Warner Brothers cartoons, has been common fair for North American audiences. In Japan, this symbolism was used in the first mangas ever produce never travelled far except in Chinese folklore. Taral Wayne has distunction of being nominated 5 times for a Hugo award but still has yet to snag such an ellusive award. His APA fanstory, 'Interview with Rocky' won acclaim. Particularly from Rocky and Bullwinkle's creator, Jay Ward. Still his wit and humour sets him apart in this panel. You might be able to spot a characture of a famous manga-anime artist in this crowd.
MAX! Max Black Rabbit has been a long time friend of Ken. So it was natural to ask Max to do a panel on this paricular 4 koma. I was able to catch Max at AnimeNorth 2005 along with other anthropomorphic artists. Keeping with crazed style of Taral Wayne and Ken Singshow. This 4 koma has develop but I wonder how the last arist will tie this 'madness' together to make some sense or in this case, non-sense.
