New comic alert: “Cold Hands, Cold Heart” issue 1! This is the first comic in an original series I created called Infernally Employed. It’s based on Japanese folklore Momotaro but set in modern day times. Expect Big Tech and its main shit dish of the day, Al, to eat humans and animals alike.

![Subject: Regarding Teruyuki Kagawa
Hello, my name is [NAME] and I am contacting you regarding the recent casting of Teruyuki Kagawa in the upcoming release Yakuza Kiwami 3.
Kagawa admitted to several instances of sexual harassment that he enacted in 2019.
As a long time fan of the series and someone who was otherwise looking forward to purchasing and playing Kiwami 3, I am extremely disappointed that SEGA and RGG Studios have made this casting decision. I will no longer be supporting the game as long as Kagawa remains a part of the project.
I am not the only customer who is withdrawing my support. There is a change.org petition that is also calling for the removal of Kagawa from the game.
https://www.change.org/p/remove-teruyuki-kagawa-from-his-role-as-goh-hamazaki-in-yakuza-kiwami-3
I hope you will consider the irreparable damage this casting decision has already done and will continue to do to the Yakuza: Like A Dragon franchise and its reputation, and that you will make the decision to remove Kagawa from the game.
I understand recasting and remodelling is not an easy task, but I also know that many customers including myself would rather have a delayed release than to see someone guilty of sexual harassment attached to this game.
Should Kagawa remain a part of Kiwami 3, I will not be purchasing the game, or any related releases.
Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to hear an update from you soon.
Regards
[NAME]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rv4gxm3hqdyojaxbpsn6duw3/bafkreig2opndm3rsidbt56rwuspz5vgr3zzrlkefvz3c4ntbipwepbh7zi@jpeg)

I’m very behind as I recover post-vaccine but here is my #inktober Day 1 “moustache” prompt. There is a theme but I’ll reveal it later. #edwardgorey #crosshatching
