This cartoon appeared in the october 2011 issue of the IETF Journal and was inspired the broken Diginotar CA.

If you really, really, really want to draw attention to your just published Internet Draft you may consider walking around with this T-Shirt.

(And if there are 5 people commenting that they would buy such shirt I’ll put the design in the IETF store at Cafepress.)

Although the result is seemingly trivial this cartoon was a bit of a challenge as I was trying to get a Manga look and feel. Both sketching and inking and the digital post-processing took some practicing and a few retries. 

The puny-code and the two big characters represent the word "Manga". The name of the protagonist in this cartoon ‘Ringo Kun’ is written in the head band. The name is a obscure reference… a bit of a bad joke actually.
