Roger Dahl’s Comic Japan 
Best of Zero Gravity Cartoons from The Japan Times-The Lighter Side of Tokyo Life

’Most non-Japanese who have spent time in Japan will recognize both Japan and themselves in Roger Dahl’s fine cartoons. He is an equal-opportunity satirist, skewering foreigners and host country alike. My own favorites include The Darkest Hour” (about the intricacies of trash disposal, p. 13), ”Polite Country” (the panel ends with the foreigner sighing, ”I need a vacation in a rude country, ” p. 131), and a Swiss army knife adapted for Japan, complete with abacus, chopsticks, and karaoke mike (p. 142).” —
