Aloha! 😊 Here's my latest Generation Gap cartoon featured in today's @hawaii_herald • On Netflix is the series "Old Enough!" Children go on errands all by themselves for the very first time as a camera crew follows along in this beloved, long-running reality show from Japan. Of course, I remember the cartoon "A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter" from Electric Company ^_^; •Keep smiling and stay safe, all! 😊 #jonjmurakami #generationgap #hawaiiherald #comic #comicstrip #cartoon #oldenough #kids #errands https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfe1SMSPp-W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aloha, all! My latest Generation Gap comic strip is in today’s @hawaii_herald . Sadly, the Herald is closing down along with my comic strip soon. The final issue is on December 1st, and Dennis Fujitake, who draws 8•0•8, and I have plans for our last strips. Until then, keep smiling and stay safe! 🙂

Aloha, all! Here's my latest Generation Gap comic strip as featured in the Hawaii Herald.
The story behind this strip: I was working on the comic doing my normal last-minute start-4-hours-before-the-deadline routine, then after 3 hours, I realized that I had been working on the wrong strip! Instead of working on Generation Gap, I had been working on Calabash! I was panicked as I only had an hour left and no ideas. However, I somehow managed to come up with a quick comic strip, although I was almost having a heart attack.
BTW I also apologize to those whom I butt-dialed before - lol
-Many of you have heard that Generation Gap will be ending with the shutdown of Hawaii Herald in December. Hard to believe after 20 years of strips.

Hey everyone! Check out my latest Generation Gap cartoon that was featured in The Hawai‘i Herald today. I researched the differences between Japanese and American chocolate, which turned into an essay that couldn't fit into just four panels. So, I decided to turn it into a one-panel joke instead. Hope it gives you a good laugh! Have a great weekend, and remember to stay safe and keep smiling! 😊

Aloha, all! Here's my Generation Gap comic strip that's featured in today's The Hawai‘i Herald •I think my parents have gotten way better about texting, but I remember when they first started, it took them a while to send a message. Sadly, I'm getting to that age where technology is starting to get complicated ^_^;
Have a great weekend, all! 😀

Aloha, all! 😊 Here's my latest Generation Gap cartoon featured in today's @hawaii_herald •How many knew the history of Nintendo? And now you know... I wish the last panel was in color to make it a little more clear that it's the moon against the red background of the Japanese hanafuda card and all the characters are from the hanafuda (flower cards) deck 😊 •Keep smiling and stay safe all! 😊 #jonjmurakami #generationgap #hawaiiherald #cartoon #comic #comicstrip #nintendo #hanafuda #cards #videogames #donkeykong #NES #nintendoentertainmentsystem https://www.instagram.com/p/CT8KDNHPZjm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Aloha, all! 😊 Here's my latest Generation Gap comic strip featured in The Hawai‘i Herald • Halloween is around the corner. Really have a feeling we're gonna see a TON of people in the outfits from the Netflix show Squid Game. Venom was a great movie too! Can't wait to see how it ties into the upcoming Marvel movies (no spoilers people) #jonjmurakami #generationgap #hawaiiherald #comicstrip #comic #cartoon #halloween #venom #squidgame #cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CVD6KYqBfri/?utm_medium=tumblr

Aloha, all! Here’s my latest Generation Gap comic strip that’s featured in today’s Hawaii Herald • The kadomatsu 🎍 the ornamental “gate pine” isn’t meant as a permanent decoration. One source online cites “if burning the kadomatsu at home creates hardship or danger, like people who live in apartments, it’s perfectly okay to dispose of it the modern and acceptable way, by placing the kadomatsu in a plastic bag, sprinkling it with salt, and securely closing the bag for disposal into your garbage bin. That’s not the tradition but it’s OK, the gods will understand. You don’t keep it around forever, the cycle has to be finished and disposal is part of the cycle...” #jonjmurakami #hawaiiherald #cartoon #comic #comicstrip #kadomatsu #japanesetradition #newyears #newyearsgoodluck https://www.instagram.com/p/CKGDFgoD9Fs/?igshid=1rmci8mjyyzww

Aloha, all! Here's my first Generation Gap comic strip for 2021 featured in today's Hawaii Herald! Ozoni (mochi soup) is very popular to eat in Japanese households. It differs based on regions in Japan (soup, shape of mochi, and even ingredients): The most popular are: Kanto (Tokyo area) style and Kansai (Kyoto area) style. •Happy New Year, all! Really looking forward to drawing more crazy adventures with the Muramaoto family clan in 2021 🙂 Keep smiling and stay safe! #jonjmurakami #generationgap #hawaiiherald #comic #comicstrip #newspapercomicstrip #cartoon #ozoni #mochi #newyears #happynewyear #Newyears2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJhHKntjeUL/?igshid=1iab93gpe61yn
