Dear Korea #041

Dear Korea #041

For anyone who isn’t familiar with the term used in this comic, it’s from a very well known quote that goes a little something like this: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

It basically means that when you’re in an unfamiliar setting, act like those around you. I’m not entirely sure if there’s a saying in Korean that’s similar to that.

Argh, sooo not happy with how this one came out. A not-so-unknown fact about me is that I am really bad at drawing males with little to no hair. I guess exposed scalps and I just don’t get along. Either way, the dude in the picture is a good friend of mine, and it’s his birthday! Yay!

Anyways, the idea for this comic was given to me by the birthday boy. I was a little worried that it would be offensive, and if it is, I apologize. I’ve just noticed that public drinking isn’t as looked down here as it is back in the states. I don’t know how some people are able to keep up with it.
