#31 The Marsh Mallow Tree

The tree salesman is supposed to be a lotus flower root. Very commonly used in Asian cooking. Chinese like to use lotus roots in soup. They are also sliced up and sun-dried and served as candy chips on Chinese New Year.

    很高兴又看到一样我喜欢的蔬菜:莲藕先生~~~不过老实说看到你的说明之前我真没看出来他是莲藕,也许把他的头削掉一块(先跟莲藕先生道个歉。。。)露出特征性的藕洞会比较便于识别吧。
    因为语言的关系,我常常不能明白你漫画的笑点:-s这次亦然-_-b

    Thank you for explaining just how I can mutilate and eat your new character. =)

    Hi Louisa,

    其實我畫的漫畫大部份都是以奇怪或有趣作出發點,所以你要想歪一點來看。當然,自己的幽默感亦有限和取材都是相就北美讀者。這篇漫畫是跟北美兩款常見的棉花糖 Marshmellow 作笑話。一款是大大粒白色的,通常是用來露營燒烤時吃。另一款是細小七彩的棉花糖,用來散在冰淇淋上或浮在熱巧克力飲品上。因為棉花糖樹是新引進Chloroville的,他們還未有想到怎樣來吃那些棉花糖。

    I have just discovered your webcomic ! Love it ! Great concept and your characters are funny and catchy !

  5. Victor Wong says:

    Hi Morin,

    Thanks :) You’ve made my day. I have just checked out your comics and I love your characters too… but I can’t read it because it’s in French :|

    Cheers,

    Victor

    I just found this comic yesterday and I already love it. You have a really good drawing style combined with interesting three dimensional characters, I look forward to seeing what kind of whacky adventures they get into. Also I like how you use vegetables and stuff from foreign countries as well. I lived in Japan for a while and it felt good to see a Daikon Radish (at least I think thats what Choy is lol) anyway, keep up the good work

    You’ve inspired me to make more webcomics C:

  8. I don’t get the reaction to the multi-colored ones…

    @kirb: I skimmed you DeviantArt stuff and I think you could definitely enjoy a nice readership. Just please, PLEASE, get a real webhost and pop a CMS on there. I hate people thinking that dA can be used for webcomics. It’s just a gallery. :/

    Hi Victor!

    I just wanted to say – I stumbled upon your comic this morning before my doctor\’s appointment and each of the strips brought a smile to my face. I\’m a webcomics creator myself and I can totally sympathize with just how much work goes into making each and every strip a winner. I\’m so impressed that you can create something so vibrant, cute, funny, and endearing – and in Illustrator none-the-less!

    For some odd reason, your strip just brought to mind one of my favorite NES games – Princess Tomato and the Salad Kingdom. ^_^ How nostalgic!

    Please keep up the great work and hang in there!

    Those multi-colored mini marshmallows may be unnatural, but they are still delicious! >_<

  11. Victor Wong says:

    Ella, thanks for all the nice comments!

  12. MonkeySpanker says:

    You do know that it’s marsh mAllow, right?

  13. Victor Wong says:

    MonkeySpanker,

    Thanks… I guess my typo made the strip even less funny :D Now let me hunt down my editor.

    heh… marshmallow tree… i wish it were real. i’d plant one for certain. any time you feel like making smores or a cocoa float or just eating one straight … pop outside and pick one off.

    don’t think they’d take too well to a rainstorm though!

  15. Turtle says:

    *giggles hysterically* Unnatural marshmallows? hehehehehehe
