Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery

Há muito tempo que acompanho as aventuras do Yehuda neste fantástico cartoon diário, que nos chega do outro lado do Atlântico. Recomendo que comecem pela primeira "tira":

A história é cativante, e quando chegarem ao fim, vão dar por vocês ansiosos pela "tira" do dia seguinte...
Sempre que entram no site pelo endereço http://www.yehudamoon.com/ encontram o pedaço mais recente da história, e têm uma pull-down box onde podem escolher o post da data que pretendem - como referi, aconselho a que comecem pelo início, seguindo o link que coloquei mais acima.

Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery is a daily webcomic created by Ohio resident Rick Smith.
The strip chronicles the adventures and challenges of Yehuda Moon. Yehuda runs a bike shop, the Kickstand Cyclery, with his friend Joe, and is often confronted with the challenges presented by his daily bicycle commute and the customers (or lack thereof) at his bike shop. Various characters include: the bike ninja, the bike hypochondriac, Yehuda and Joe's elderly compatriot Fred, Thistle who works in the shop with Yehuda and Joe, the Shakers who build the bicycle frames, neighborhood kids, roadies, and commuters. Yehuda advocates simple, traditional, functional biking as espoused by the philosophy of Grant Petersen of Rivendell Bicycle Works. His shop partner Joe acts as a foil to Yehuda and prefers a more performance- or racing-oriented style.
