ROKetship



  • I just want to thank you all for supporting and laughing with ROKetship over these last 2 years. I had always dreamed of having a popular comic strip and because of you guys, my dream came true - I don’t have the words…

    Anyway, my wife and I are headed back to the US in about a week and whereas many of you have sent in fantastic suggestions for new comics, I know ROKetship just wouldn’t have the same edge if I tried to continue it away from Korea. I’d rather go out like Calvin and Hobbes than stay in and get stale like Garfield (no offense Mr. Davis!)

    But don’t worry!! If you’re missing ROKetship, ROKetBooks will still be on sale through www.lulu.com, my publishers have agreed to continue running past strips and of course the website isn’t going anywhere soon! (and, I’m toying around with an idea for a follow-up strip, but you’ll have to check back in a while, for more on that.)

    Thank you all so much again! Enjoy Korea and keep on laughing!

    안녕,

    -Luke
