New Go Comics on Tiger’s Mouth

Monday September 24, 2012

The American Go Federation’s (AGF) youth website, tigersmouth.org, is publishing new comic strips weekly again.  The most recent addition is Aji’s Quest, by Collette Bezio, which features the adventures of a quoll named Aji and a tanuki named Tenuki.  What’s a quoll?  Good question. To find out, check out the new strip here.  Bezio runs an AGF program at her library, in Seymour WI, and is a writer as well as an artist.  You can see more of her work on her website.  The Better Move is another new comic available on Tiger’s Mouth.  Deftly illustrated by Maryland cartoonist Yi Weng, in a Chinese brush painting style, the strip features mini comics on different go themes.  Liberty races, capturing the cranes in their nest, and how to play first capture go have all had their own stips, and the monkey jump is coming out soon.  Tiger’s Mouth will keep adding new strips weekly for the next few months, so check in on Saturdays for the latest updates. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.  Graphic: A quol named Aji, by Colette Bezio.
