It will come out next year as a new TV series from OCN. Q: How did you learn to draw cartoons? I am self-taught, as most cartoonists are. I was into comic books since I was little.

Especially in countries such as the United States where food is abundant, obesity rather than starvation has become a critical social issue. In most such developed countries where basic needs are more than met, the struggle to climb up the employment ladder is often the usual source of vexation, rather than the contention to survive. Hence, let us imagine a place where one would not only have to juggle the stresses of competing in the job market, but also strain to gather daily meals. In this nation, hunger is all that most
