It’s been said, that David Horvath looks like his characters. What do you think about Babo? 1) The eyes 2) The teeth 3) The hand gesture 4) The fact that he draws the Uglydolls. As pictured Babo draws Uglydolls 5) David is a lefty, notice where the chopsticks are. Babo is a righty. Hmm. That’s not helping my theory, is it? Sun-min is probably a righty though. Maybe it’s to throw us off. 6) Babo has a little part in the head, David has a part in the hair. 7) Babo likes cookies. David likes cookies. 8) Babo means stupid or idiot in Korean. David is self deprecating, hence the name Uglydolls. 9) Babo is one of the earliest Uglydolls. I think it might have been the first. 10) Uglycon and How to Draw Uglydolls as presented by Babo? Uh, David?

I wonder what people really think about this. Is it just stupid? Either way, a theft is a theft. Glad the Times are playing attention to this fairly trivial matter. Read their entry in the LA Now blog. It's not too much, but I'm amazed that they care. Maybe it's a Southern California thing. The weather is nice, we actually can grow produce in our yards (yes, we actually have yards with fruit)......
I wonder what people really think about this. Is it just stupid? Either way, a theft is a theft. Glad the Times are playing attention to this fairly trivial matter. Read their entry in the LA Now blog. It’s not too much, but I’m amazed that they care. Maybe it’s a Southern California thing. The weather is nice, we actually can grow produce in our yards (yes, we actually have yards with fruit)… If you drive in my area, you can see other trees, peaches, loquat, guava, other avocados, lemons, tangerines, persimmons and more. It’s pretty cool to be in Southern Cali. My parents house has apple trees that are pretty good. They also do grapes which rock and blackberries. Check it all out here.

Talking at a the University of Illinois Chicago, which is a state school that's supposedly not among the better institutions, it was a a great chance to talk to the people-the regular kids-which is pretty much how I got my education.
1) The school is 25% Asian, and even with that, there's no Asian American studies as a major. There's a student Asian American office, but it ends there. One office,...
Talking at a the University of Illinois Chicago, which is a state school that’s supposedly not among the better institutions, it was a a great chance to talk to the people-the regular kids-which is pretty much how I got my education. 1) The school is 25% Asian, and even with that, there’s no Asian American studies as a major. There’s a student Asian American office, but it ends there. One office, and 25% of the campus who’s Asian. It doesn’t compute, does it? The majority is probably 1.5 generation, which is maybe why it’s splintered. 2) We talked for about 40 minutes to a decent amount of people, and then answered questions, then it became an impromptu signing session. Usually people just gather and take, but in Chicago, they lined up orderly. 3) The best part of talking to schools is that the kids who aren’t forced to come, really listen as compared to talking at a class where people just don’t care. 4) Another good part about doing it out of town is that these are all new folks who are just finding out about the magazine. Hopefully, they’ll stick around. 5) The good thing is that we got to eat Greek food for dinner. The future of Asian America? I’m not sure, it’s always cloudy, but today, I think we talked good game.
