Hey Mr Katsu, although the world continues to battle the COVID-19 fight, seasons and holidays come and go like clockwork. They are predictable in our unpredictable day-to-day new lifestyles. Keeping safe and healthy is first. Working together as a community for our comeback will be next. Hope this little comic makes you smile as you repeat the COVID-19 tag line “We are all in this together.”

Hey Mr Katsu, March 2020 marks a time when everyone hoped would never come. In a matter of weeks, life as we knew it has changed forever. The real life events seemed like a thriller movie script. We added “novel virus”, “state of emergency”, “social distancing”, “working from home” and “stay-at-home order” to our vocabularies. Our lucky green in this March is having the WHOLE WORLD fighting with us!  

Hey Mr Katsu you are my Valentine! Celebrate your Valentines by spending time with them. Gifts from the heart are rare and priceless! The value of a gift is not in it’s cost, but how long it’s remembered in your heart!

Hey Mr Katsu, time for a little “word association therapy”. I’ll say a word and you reply with the first word that comes to mind. Ready, set, go… So many pets are terrified of the BIG bangs and booms. Ask your vet, dog trainers and friends on how you can comfort your family pet before next year!

Hey Mr Katsu, June marks the start of summer vacations and Dad’s Day celebrations! Cheers to your parent “Dad” or another person who you consider your Dad, one who cares for you, is a person you respect, is a role model, a mentor and a cheerleader in your life! 

Hey Mr Katsu, it’s May and time to recognize, celebrate and thank “the person who is the Mom in your life!” The role of a Mom is invaluable and can be anyone who cares for, loves and supports you… Make them feel SPECIAL with appreciation and give them your time!

Hey Mr Katsu, SURPRISE Easter Egg Hunt! Hoping everyone had a wonder holiday weekend and a comic to remind us that somethings are not all what they seem!  

Hey Mr Katsu, the California hills are a bloom with the sights and smell of poppies. With orange all around after missing for so many years. Hope you have time to capture this rare opportunity!
