My tribute to the influential anime/manga artist Akira Toriyama (1955-2024), known the world over for his unique artstyle and iconic creations such as Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump. Thank you Mr. Toriyama for blessing the world with your timeless masterpieces! May King Yemma roll out the red carpet and reserve a special place for you in Heaven. Rest easy in Other World, King! You will always be a legend among legends, now and forever!

Just as Planetary Guardians have the right to submit their deceased disciples for afterlife training by their local Kai, Kais have the right to reserve any living mortal to be sent for training after their death. King Kai of the Northern Galaxy does this whenever looking in on a planet happens to involve looking in on a standup comedy special or open mic night and a particular comedian tickles his fancy. However, all of his reserved comedians take one look at Snake Way and NOPE right out of there, instead laughing it up across Other World and driving the Other Worldians nuts.
Until one day when a frightened young comedienne (Colby, as in cheese, as in her sense of humor) suddenly poofs to after-life in King Yemma’s office and is set on the road without explanation, told only to get to the other side. For various reasons she believes she’s in hell and that walking an endless road is her eternal punishment. Eventually King Kai realizes someone’s on Snake Way (furious that once again no one in Yemma’s office contacted him or brought the trainee-to-be directly to him, you just can’t find good help these days), he flies his car at mach speed to pick her up, and thus begins a comedy of misunderstandings and angst and personal growth and the blatant fantasy of a kind and gentle authority figure helping you through life’s (or death’s) toughest moments.
Gonna try to do 1 piece a week for @icryink ’s Cringetober, so here’s #2, “Self-Insert.” Imagining myself in the worlds of my Special Interest series-es has been my go-to pastime since I was old enough to think (it requires zero effort and can be done anywhere at any time!), but over the years it’s gone from adventure fantasies to romantic fantasies to finally comfort fantasies aka This Is Just Me Having Therapy With Myself fantasies XD
In the last category, “King Kai’s Pun Apprentice” is a favorite scenario even when I’m NOT hyperfixating on DBZ. He’s such a wise, kind character, and the afterlife setting allows me to roleplay or imaginarily talk through big difficult feelings with an imaginary someone who’d be sympathetic but also call me out when necessary.

Here's an old comic doodle I did back when I was re-watching DBZ (and also forcing my friend and brother to watch it). I just have a real soft spot for Goku and Piccolo's relationship.
