Whatever the missionary is proposing, he doesn't appear to be very persuasive.

Ink and watercolour...

Definitely Somerset Maugham... (I think I may have mentioned that in a comment on Elfwood.)

Interesting. I met someone from Malaysia in Amsterdam last fall and he complained about the bad weather in Europe. On the other hand he was happy to escape the extreme heat in his home country. I don't know if I could live in a country were the only significant change is between wet and dry. Sarawak is supposed to be a wonderful place though. :)

wonderful storytelling... it really needs so little captioning.. hehehe.

I like this series of dogs you've been doing, I really do. I'd love to see more of these anthropomorphic dogs in this particular era, maybe even around the world. so interesting.

storytelling as usual, I'm loving those greens and pinks.

That is because he is talking to a mischievous English bulldog colonizer, who is only interested in enslaving the natives and cheating her wife with exotic prostitutes.

On the other hand the missionary looks like a fine lad who is a little unconscious on the morally questionable action of imposing an alien religion to the natives, particularly due to the attack on aesthetics that is Asian catholicism. Hey, it's the truth. But he's saving "the savages" from eternal damnation.

And on a second look at the picture, this is not Asia, it's probably an arabic country in North Africa, like Tunisia. Thus, the bulldog is French...but I don't feel like inventing another story.
