Watch as he uses his powers-of-a-monk to defeat the communist Russian regime who sought to destroy and exile Kalmyks from their own home on the Volga! For more on Kalmyks, see the wiki article here. I’m pretty sure I’m probably the only Kalmyk comic writer/artist in the world, so I’ll probably take the opportunity in the future to explore this history. And then, maybe one day, people will stop freakin’ asking me if I’m Korean.

Anyway, hope you had a happy crazy quirky-family-history filled Thanksgiving!
