Okashina Okashi - Strange Candy is a webcomic drawn by Emily Snodgrass (Emi-chan) and written by Allison Brownlow (Tanzy), Karen Olympia (Kourin), and J. Baird (Xuanwu). It was started in 2001, with Brownlow as its first writer, with Olympia added to the team in October 2001. [citation needed] Snodgrass has appeared at some conventions, speaking on fan-run and amateur artist panels.[1][2] Snodgrass is an amateur artist who does not make a living from her online strip.[2]
Okashina Okashi is hosted on Comic Genesis, a free hosting provider for webcomics. Baird used this comic he writes as part of his classroom exercises while he was teaching for Hess Educational Organization, an English education provider in the Republic of China and Singapore.[3] Similarly, he used the comic again when he volunteered to teach a free after-school youth literacy library activity in New Haven, CT.[4]
In August 2007, Snodgrass branched out with a spin-off comic set in the Beauty Man Garden, a fictional chain of restaurants in Okashina Okashi. The new comic is called Mini BMG.[citation needed]
Plot
A group of strangers are sucked into the alternate universe of UberTokyo.[citation needed] They must try to find a way home by using plotholes to teleport between dimensional realms. Each realm is a parody of a given genre of anime and manga, such as sports, sentai, and fantasy.[citation needed]
