What is this?

This is a web log in comic form of my adventures in acclimation to a world without ice.

Who are you?

My name is Penguin. Once I lived on the ice, but now it is gone.

Penguins belong in the wild. Go back to Antarctica!

I wish I could, but it’s gone, so here I am.

When did this happen?

I guess it was pretty gradual. I didn’t really notice. There was so much ice. But it’s all gone now.

Where are you now?

I’m in the west trying to fit in.

Who else is involved?

I often write about friends, acquaintance and fish. The most interesting ones are featured here.

Penguin

This is me. I miss my homeland. I'm up for the challenge of adapting to western life, even though western life is confusing.
