"Dear Tiny: My boyfriend always gets me bad gifts and I'm too nice to tell him he has bad taste." "Dear Tiny: My girlfriend gets so jealous of my female friends that I can't hang out with them without a drama." "Dear Tiny: How do I stop attracting the same losers into my life time after time?"The questions are simple enough, but the answers are downright hilarious. In panel after panel, Ken Cursoe has created an advice column/cartoon that attacks the insecurities and tames the uncertainties of everyday life. Whether it's addressing topics like dating or unrequited love or breaking up, Tiny Sepuku tackles them head on, finding hilariously absurd solutions for readers who write in.The name "Sepuku" is based on the Japanese word seppuku, which roughly translates to "sacrifice for the benefit of others." Relationships tend to be just that, says the author, thus the unusual name made sense for this type of comic. The advice column aspect allows people to interact directly with the strip. Says Cursoe, "If it helps someone take their problems a little less seriously by seeking advice from a cartoon, then I think I did my job." More important, Tiny Sepuku is completely entertaining. Cursoe's take on the world of work and relationships adds a refreshing perspective to the comics page..

It can be exciting, setting out to sea, and the voyage is often beautiful Encountering storms and giant waves on the ocean is terrifying Sailing from San Francisco to Australia alone in an 18-foot boat was unthinkable in 1882 -- but Bernard Gilboy did it. This true adventure is based on the logs of Gilboy's voyage. It is an inspiring story of a sailor who braved the largest ocean in the world simply because he was a born adventurer who could not stand still. The Sydney "Punch" in the February 17, 1883 edition wrote in response to Gilboy's Quest: "Alone on the raging ocean, alone in my craft I ride, Alone on the foaming billows, in all their crested pride, No man before hath ventured, alone, so far to sail; Nor mind hath ever yet conceived a ship so small, so frail.".
