...include, but couldn't depict visually? I wanted to do the seahorse. It's the male who stays pregnant, so it's unusual and it's cute. And they have a beautiful way of moving with the sea, but I just didn't know how to translate it with paper. Also I try not to do animals that are already seen. For example a lot of people say, 'why don't you do birds?' Some of them do these fantastic courtship dances. But they are often filmed and so they're beautiful themselves...
...look and the feel of the series is very wacky and engaging. When I wrote them, I also illustrated them-I don't do fantastic drawings, but I did try to resolve the problem of the costumes. We had very little money, so I thought if we used paper it would be economically advantageous, but also to give it visual continuity.

...established narrative of the tragedy suggests Dipendra was in a drunken fury, irate that his father and family continued to disapprove of his relationship with a woman from a rival clan of nobles.

Yet the current government, headed by the former rebels, still indulges in periodic bouts of royal-bashing, often to paper over the increasingly apparent shortcomings of its own rule. As fuel lines in Kathmandu stretch more than 2 km and power cuts ravage the country, the Maoists announced last month their intention to form a commission to revisit the massacre eight years after it happened, tightening the screw...
...another new twist, Paras also told the New Paper he may return to Nepal and participate in electoral politics, heading up a party of "young professionals and bankers." But it seems unlikely the deeply unpopular 37-year-old - an embodiment, for many, of royal excess - would gain much from such a venture. "That's what everyone in Nepal is laughing about," says Kunda Dixit, editor of the Nepali Times, a Kathmandu-based weekly. "It's remarkable how quickly people here have otherwise forgotten the monarchy," he says...
