How many punchlines do you see involving lighthouses? Not enough, I assure you. I'm here to fill that gap, as it is an important part of a balanced breakfast of humour.

April Confirmed
Mucho apologies on the lack of updates lately. I've been sick as a dog and fluctuating between feeling fine and wanting to tip over and puke. I do have a new batch of drawings nearly finished, so you can expect that early next week.
Even though it's late to say this, I hope you made the best of April Fools Day. I didn't prank anyone but I do recognize the potential of that excuse:
"Hey, hey!"
"Where the hell have you been? You're almost five hours late for work!"
"Gotcha! April Fools!"
"That's not how it works. Wait a minute ... are you drunk?"
"Uhhhhh ... April Fools!"

Mitch & Roland: #52 Sandwich
As you may or may not have noticed, the Mitch and Roland comics have a rich history of sandwich related humour going all the way back to the very first one.
In fact, about half of all the comics so far are on the subject of food, or are related to food and eating. What does this say about me? That I'm fat, obviously. But more importantly, what does this say about society? That we're hungry about half the time, I suspect.

Always Bring a Flare Gun When Shopping
This past weekend, I came to the realization that I witness amazing things all the time. Like what, you ask? Well, when I go to any of the huge shopping areas or department stores in Seoul, I'm always amazed by the cleaning ladies who must work amoung the endless droves of customers bustling about. Seriously, that's an impressive feat.
I can't go more than twenty minutes in a busy shopping area before I begin to feel my blood pressure rising and the urge to strike someone creeping up in my brain. People are constantly getting in your way, crashing into you, knocking your shopping bags around; it's hot, stuffy, and unbelievably loud. I can feel my pulse rattling my teeth and if I don't get out of there, I might start shrieking like a lunatic.
And it's my choice to be there! It's my leisure time on the weekend, and I can leave if I wish. But these women have to be there all day! They work there! They're weaving their way through the crowd, hunched over, mopping a floor that is constantly being walked on. It must be so frustrating and claustrophobic. Somehow they can do that day after day without freaking out, stabbing anyone, or even whacking them in the back of the legs with a broom.
So the Turnipism community (me) is proud to honour these cleaning ladies with the award for "Most Impressive Show of Restraint In a Situation That Would Cause an Average Person to Flip Out and Begin Clawing Their Way to the Nearest Exit Whilst Hyperventilating and Crying". Congratulations.
Also, on an unrelated matter, if you heard tell of some dude flipping out in a department store and clawing his way to the nearest exit whilst hyperventilating and crying, ... it wasn't me.

Mitch & Roland: #51 Rental
I will always be amused by crappy names for movie sequels. While there are tons in real life, it doesn't stop me from imagining my own. Here are some additional names I thought would be good for a "Swordman" sequel:
Swordman 2: Sword Harder
Swordman 2: The Swordening
Swordman 2: Showdown at Sword Mountain
Swordman 2: The Blade of Sharpness
Swordman 2: Swordmen
Swordman 2: Look Who's Cutting Now
Swordman 2: Lord of the Sword
Swordman 2: Passion of the Sword
Swordman 2: Full Throttle
Swordman 2: Slash to the Future
Swordman 2: The Legend of the Slightly Sharper Sword
and of course,
2 Sword 2 Furious
