โ˜… Notes on Year 4, Comic 26 - Check, Pleaseย โ˜…In the summer of 2013, I was fully mourning my completed time as an undergraduate at Yale. One of the collegeโ€™s traditional songsโ€”which they strategically have students sing during their first weeks as Yalies and then again at the moment weโ€™re conferred our degreesโ€”goes like this:Bright College years, with pleasure rife,The shortest, gladdest years of life;How swiftly are ye gliding by!Oh, why doth time so quickly fly?Et cetera. The first time you sing it, you mumble the words and donโ€™t know a single person around you. The last time you sing it, wearing the mortarboard and gown, youโ€™ve got the lyrics memorized and youโ€™re surrounded by some of the most important people in your life.That summer, with โ€œHow bright will seem, through memโ€™ryโ€™s haze/ Those happy, golden, bygone days!โ€ still ringing in my ears, I started CHECK, PLEASE.ย The comicโ€™s first panels emerged on an ancient laptop, through a borrowed bamboo tablet, and on a free drawing program called gnu-IMPShop.ย I had no plan. I wanted to explore my newfound fascination with hockey and share silly cartoons on Tumblr. But unconsciously, I also wanted to pour the nostalgia of those bright college years into the Haus, Faber, Samwell, and Bittyโ€™s story. I wanted to bottle up those moments where we grow and change and fall down and pick ourselves back up.ย Drawing CHECK, PLEASE was how I revisited those experiences and how I sifted through the bittersweet feeling of concluding something I loved. Perhaps this is why finishing CHECK, PLEASE calls back those same emotions. Just as Bitty would bake affection into a pie, I might have encoded into CHECK, PLEASE the heartfelt fondness I had for my time in college, the love of the friends I made there, and the gratitude I have for my own growth.I have always found it easier to express gratitude face to face. And even though I would not have gotten to meet all of you, the greatest downside of being unable to participate in a book tour is that I canโ€™t say thanks in person. I could write a thousand words, yet they couldnโ€™t replace a high five at a bookstore signing or a handshake at a convention. I could write the blog post to end all blog posts, but itโ€™s not the same as yelling with you about an episode or chatting about a fandom we both happen be in. For me, itโ€™s those moments that somehow equate to my abundant appreciation for you, the reader.I look forward to the day when I can let my actions speak louder than my words!In the meantime: thank you. I am incredibly blessed to get to create a story and then share it. This is all I want to do in life. These characters get to have a readership overflowing with love and enthusiasm for them. This comic, somehow, has found ambassadors. This story gets to be told.

Teach children that this is not ok

Teach children that thereโ€™s nothing wrong with this

Iโ€™m really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.

Yellow face yet sheโ€™s using white makeup in the traditional style but okay.
Cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing, hon. โ˜บ๏ธ Cultures should be shared by all means.

I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you. 
A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect. 
And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not โ€œyellow faceโ€ they are not making fun of asians. In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work. 
The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all over white people. The only racist here is you.

Damn Iโ€™ve never hit reblog so fast in my entire fucking life

Daaaaamn

Pew pew pew

I reblog this every time I see it

I live in Japan and Iโ€™d like to back up this sentiment.ย 
Recently a museum in Boston came under a lot of fire for allowing visitors to wear aย โ€˜kimonoโ€™ (it was featuring a painting my Monet of a girl โ€“ a white girl โ€“ in a kimono, and the museum had replicas made that guests of ANY RACE could wear to mimic the painting, Pageant-of-the-Masters style). After protests and heated debate, the museum closed the event.
I was living in Japan at the time, and out of all the *actual* Japanese people I asked, not a single one was offended by the event. Rather, they were excited that people half a world away were showing interest in their culture, and were sad that visitors could no longer enjoy the event.
This party, though somewhat silly in application, is an attempt at experiencing and appreciating another culture. The mom who put this together is not an expert on Japan, but she did her best. She got a lot of things right: there are few things Japan loves more than tea, Pocky, and sakura.ย 
Where do you draw the line for who isย โ€œallowedโ€ to learn about Japan? If the girl were of Japanese descent, would that make it ok (even though her citizenship would be the same as the girl from the photo)? If one of the girlโ€™s parents were from Japan, then would it be ok?ย 
Are you only allowed to make pizza if you live in Italy? If youโ€™re an Italian immigrant? How do we decide these things??
You canโ€™t say you want to dismantle racism and then in the next breath make rules โ€“ based on race โ€“ for who people can wear, try, or eat, especially when the intent is obviously to have fun experiencing a culture (as opposed to having fun by making fun of a race or culture, like blackface does).ย 
When you tell people they can only experience things โ€˜meant for their raceโ€™, it totally smacks of segregation to me and I canโ€™t stand it. As someone who (obviously) loves Japan, I say let people learn about it, let people experience it, let people appreciate it. You donโ€™t have to know every single thing about a culture to enjoy it.



fucking people got owned is what, fuck i hate how people say you cant do shit when culture should be shared and is shared its how it grows and changes through fucking generations itS HOW YOU LEARN about the world and just fucking, tumblr fucking stupid like 70% of the dam time

Vintage post, sipping on it like fine wine.



I honestly love Japanese culture. It looks really peaceful and serene ๐Ÿ˜Š



I actually wanna live in Japan after I actually learn Japanese 



Do some research before you open your mouth folks. 

โ€œ
The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little
 girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all 
over white people. The only racist here is you.

fucking people got owned is what, fuck i hate how people say you cant do shit when culture should be shared and is shared its how it grows and changes through fucking generations itS HOW YOU LEARN about the world and just fucking, tumblr fucking stupid like 70% of the dam time

Vintage post, sipping on it like fine wine.



I honestly love Japanese culture. It looks really peaceful and serene ๐Ÿ˜Š



I actually wanna live in Japan after I actually learn Japanese 



Do some research before you open your mouth folks.

The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little
 girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all 
over white people. The only racist here is you.

Teach children that this is not ok

Teach children that thereโ€™s nothing wrong with this

Iโ€™m really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.

Yellow face yet sheโ€™s using white makeup in the traditional style but okay.
Cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing, hon. โ˜บ๏ธ Cultures should be shared by all means.

I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you. 
A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect. 
And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not โ€œyellow faceโ€ they are not making fun of asians. In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work. 
The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all over white people. The only racist here is you.

Damn Iโ€™ve never hit reblog so fast in my entire fucking life

Daaaaamn

Pew pew pew

I reblog this every time I see it

I live in Japan and Iโ€™d like to back up this sentiment.ย 
Recently a museum in Boston came under a lot of fire for allowing visitors to wear aย โ€˜kimonoโ€™ (it was featuring a painting my Monet of a girl โ€“ a white girl โ€“ in a kimono, and the museum had replicas made that guests of ANY RACE could wear to mimic the painting, Pageant-of-the-Masters style). After protests and heated debate, the museum closed the event.
I was living in Japan at the time, and out of all the *actual* Japanese people I asked, not a single one was offended by the event. Rather, they were excited that people half a world away were showing interest in their culture, and were sad that visitors could no longer enjoy the event.
This party, though somewhat silly in application, is an attempt at experiencing and appreciating another culture. The mom who put this together is not an expert on Japan, but she did her best. She got a lot of things right: there are few things Japan loves more than tea, Pocky, and sakura.ย 
Where do you draw the line for who isย โ€œallowedโ€ to learn about Japan? If the girl were of Japanese descent, would that make it ok (even though her citizenship would be the same as the girl from the photo)? If one of the girlโ€™s parents were from Japan, then would it be ok?ย 
Are you only allowed to make pizza if you live in Italy? If youโ€™re an Italian immigrant? How do we decide these things??
You canโ€™t say you want to dismantle racism and then in the next breath make rules โ€“ based on race โ€“ for who people can wear, try, or eat, especially when the intent is obviously to have fun experiencing a culture (as opposed to having fun by making fun of a race or culture, like blackface does).ย 
When you tell people they can only experience things โ€˜meant for their raceโ€™, it totally smacks of segregation to me and I canโ€™t stand it. As someone who (obviously) loves Japan, I say let people learn about it, let people experience it, let people appreciate it. You donโ€™t have to know every single thing about a culture to enjoy it.

        Remember, donโ€™t forget to call me โ€œChiefโ€.: NEEDED: Generic Father Figure
 for Backyard BBQ (Spokane)
 To interested individuals,
 We will be throwing a backyard BBQ on June 17th to
 celebrate beer and each other. We range in age from
 21-26, and while most of us know how to operate a
 grill, none of us are prepared to fill the role of "BBQ
 Dad" That being said, we are in need of a generic
 father figure from 4PM to about 8PM (though you may
 stay the full duration of the party). Duties include:
 - Grilling hamburgers and hotdogs (whilst drinking
 beer)
 - Bringing your own grill (though this is subject to
 change. We will provide all of the meat)
 - Refer to all attendees as "Big Guy', "Chief", "Sport"
 "Champ" etc. (whilst drinking beer)
 - Talk about dad things, like lawnmowers, building
 your own deck, Jimmy Buffet, etc. Funny anecdotes
 are highly encouraged. All whilst drinking beer.
 Desired experience:
 - A minimum of 18 years experience as a father
 - A minimum of 10 years grilling experience
 - An appreciation of a nice, cold beer on a hot summer
 day
 We can't pay you in money, BUT we can give you all
 the food and cold beer your heart desires. Grill for a
 few hours, then sit back and crack open a few cold
 ones with the boys.
 THIS IS A REAL AD. Do not hesitate to call if you are
 interested. Preference will be given to applicanis
 named Bill, Randy, or Dave.
Remember, donโ€™t forget to call me โ€œChiefโ€.

Likes can only go so far for artists.ย Artists may exclusively upload their artwork to tumblr, or donโ€™t have the time to use other sites and prefer tumblr over deviantART due to its simplicity, but the tagging system can make it harder to navigate.ย Many artists on tumblr tag with high-traffic tags or use their own tags to prevent tag clogging which eventually become lost. Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s very important to reblog an artistโ€™s work.ย 
Iโ€™m not trying to push you to ruin your blogโ€™s aesthetic or something, nor am I saying that โ€œyou must absolutely reblog your favourite artistโ€™s work or youโ€™re trashโ€, all Iโ€™m saying is if you truly want to support your favourite artist, instead of just liking their posts, try to reblog them once in a while. The more reblogs they receive, the more exposure/notes/followers they may receive, and itโ€™s just one of the easiest ways to show you care about them.
*This does not mean to reblog unsourced artwork or works reuploaded to another personโ€™s blog without permission (re:stolen). Nor does this mean to reblog artworks without the artistโ€™s consent, even if this case is slim.
