   Deb Aoki's Blurbs
About me:
A Hawaii girl at heart now living on "the mainland," Deb has been drawing comic strips since her college days at the University of Hawaii Manoa. Deb's Bento Box comic strip appears weekly in the Honolulu Advertiser Sunday edition.

Deb currently works as an editor and writer for Web sites, including her new site about Japanese comics, manga.about.com. She's a recent refugee from L.A. and now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. Anyone know a good place for ramen?

Who I'd like to meet:
Other people from Hawaii or anyone who loves Hawaii and "local" culture. Cartoonists, illustrators and artists of all kinds. Any manga or comic book fans, cat lovers, "Project Runway" addicts and any one who makes or enjoys art.

I have a silly question....do you keep in touch with any of our McKinley classmates? So many kids from your neighborhood went to my high school, so I thought I'd ask.

p.s. have you seen my blog at www.myadvertiser.com/kakaako ? I was thinking of blogging (one short one) about this discovery. No embarrassing details, just the fact that I have to constantly prune my mess as a condo dweller but it leads to an interesting treasure trove.

DEB....Oh.My.Gawd!!!!!!! I'm cleaning through my stuff and came across an essay that you wrote about me on April 6, 1978. (You gave it to me after it got graded.) SOOO embarrassing!

Hey Deb

Darn! I missed your visit. Work keeps me busy, too bad it isn't art related....unless you call listening to restraining order issues creative. Hope to see you the next time you come home. :-) Joan

Hey Deb!

Stopping by to say "ALOOOOOHA!"

From reading your blogs, sounds like you've been quite the busy bee! Bizzzzie bizzzzie!

I related to your blogs...
Ugh! Hot & humid in Hawai'i (sooo not cute!).
Plate lunches on the mainland don't taste the same (I think it's missing the "local" flavor or aji-no-moto).
The local places and faces have changed (where the fuck am I?! who the fuck are you?!).
Suburban family units (yikes! whatchu mean you gotta take care da kids?!). Hahaha!

Take care and be bad! 'Cause bad is "funnerer"!

Peace, Love and Shiny Disco Balls!

OK.... you know I think you're super rad! I've always loved your storytelling abilities and FABULOUS style! You're great because you stick to what you know. This is the reason why Benton Box is 10 meals in one! Even I can't finish it in one setting! Whew!

Hi Deb -

It was really cool seeing you again, at WonderCon. Dawna and I look forward to your company at APE as well.

Glad you're doing well, and I hope you find a great place.

Hey there Deb....I really miss those days in the art department. Damn, how long has it been? I still see Deb Chinen. And once in awhile I see others. Hey, Mako's wife has a cookie shop. So thanks for the request and keep in touch. Love seeing your comics. Keep up the work. :-) Joan
