These days, my mother is constantly worried about North Korea. She should really calm down. The real danger is the fact that yesterday I ran into one of these babies while coming home from work.

If you are an endomologist (or a fan of Cracked magazine) you’re probably already familiar with the Asian giant hornet. If you’re not, alllow me to describe it: it’s a hornet as big as a mid-sized hamster and wearing a Luchadore mask. In my eleven years here this is the first time I’ve seen one. Apparently they’re quite common in the forests around Daegu.

Anyhow, it didn’t kill me. If I ever see one again I’ll try to get a picture… from a safe distance, of course.

Also, it’s Friday, have a music video. I’m going to go take the baby for a walk. Edit- I realize today’s video is wildly inappropriate for today’s comic. I’ll claim that I’m working under irony rather than heatstroke.
