    So, instead of cheek circles, Ninja Rick has two red “flushed” lines across his face? Is this a reflection of his desire to be manga?

    If he doesn’t catch any Asians, I’m sure he’ll catch plenty of people who wish they were. It’d ensnare me.

    I think he’s probably more likely to catch white nerds that think they’re awesome because they’re in to Asian stuff.

    Well, he certainly doesn’t know how to set up a box-and-stick trap. Every kid who ever tried to catch a squirrel knows you gotta tie a string to the stick.

        Preteen Asian girls would probably be good enough. Galasso has a habit of hiring the dead, so child labour doesn’t seem like something he’d be opposed to…

    I’m pretty sure that trap only works for white people with Asian friends. Real Asians would already have access to all the pocky they need.

    I think the problem is that Ninja Rick and Galasso should be hiding in the van instead of standing next to the trap.

    Then when an Asian come by to understand what the heck is up with that weird trap they can spring out of the van and kidnap… I mean hire the unsuspecting Asian.

    Either that or they will end up with a Pirate

      The Nina wasn’t very stealthy. It was the distraction to allow the Pinta and Santa Maria to sneak in.

    The grammar of these comments disappoints me.

    “their” is possessive, “they’re” is they are, and “there” is a place, guys.
    “your” is possessive, and “you’re” is you are.
    “Then when an Asian come by,” I think that was just a typo, but still.

    Son, I are disappoint.

          Just to note: I do tend to use correct grammar in my posts (I even speel cheque the inormouse wordzies).

          That being said, some levels of “my life is not James Bondish”:

          1. Read webcomic
          2. Regularly
          3. Comment on it
          4. Respond to comments on it
          5. Respond to the responses
          6. Have arguments / discussions on it (the longer your responses, the less likely that you are to be saving the world)
          7. Correct the grammar and / or spelling of the other folks

          There are further levels, including graphing the responses, planning your comebacks, trying to locate the other users…

          I’m a 5 or 6. But # 7 is like trying to stop a shipwreck with toothpicks. The web grammar / spelling ship is sinking, if not sunk.

    The only thing really wrong with Ninja Rick’s plan is the box he chose is far too small. Get a bigger box, and he’ll have 6 asians before lunch.

    Or at least 6 people Galasso will believe are Asian, which is close enough.

    I’m trying to figure out the mystery of the self supporting leaning pocky box. I almost didn’t notice it because of the branched twig that wouldn’t allow the trap to be self triggered. Then I realized I was analyzing a trap in a comic that was not designed to actually work. Fun.
