Good Monday everyone! I hope you all had an awesome pre-Halloween weekend! Did anyone dress up? A bunch of friends and I went as the Gender Bender Avengers. It should go without saying, but we were awesome.

Anyways, the idea for this week’s comic was sent to me by a good friend of mine. He told me how he often likes to buy flowers for his very lucky lady, and how the Korean flower shop he goes to tends to make everything overly fancy. Decorating stuff is totally cool, but I don’t know too many guys that enjoy the idea of walking home with a flashy glitter bouquet. While I do think he’s managed to get them to ease up on the ribbons and extra stuff, they seem to be quite pushy on the glitter issue.

Overall, Korea doesn’t seem to be a big fan of custom orders. Whenever I try to substitute something or have something to changed to something else (or just plain taken out), it’s not uncommon for people to look at me like I’m insane. Some places seem to have gotten better about it, but for the most part, be prepared to be happy with whatever you get.

Any stories to share regarding attempts at customizing a simple order? Feel free to leave them in the comments! I absolutely love reading them!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
