Failed inventor of the dangerous and VERY hot "Real Lava Lamp" and SJ Editor Urian Brown takes a look at this week's issue.
Cover
art by Eiichiro Oda
OMG!!! Karoooooo! When I saw this cover I yelled and started clapping like an excited little kid at my desk. Why? I love Karoo! He's a super fast duck, which is completely awesome in and of itself. He's also a loyal steed who played a significant part in the big showdown with Alabasta. I was the English-language One Piece editor during this part of the story, so I have a soft spot for this arc and all the wonderful characters in it, including duck characters. Karooooo!
