This is how it all started. Well, not exactly - it's not the first time I produced a go-related comic-style drawing, but all the previous ones are merely sketches and mostly contain well-known players so... I'd prefer having those drawings not published ;)

How this idea came to me can be explained easily: Since I am pretty much a complete beginner (I was a solid 20k when I drew this) I kept playing bad shapes and my sensei told me that the empty triangle shape is one of the worst and should be avoided and so on - until I started to pity it; in my head that poor, neglected and hated shape developed a personality and I couldn't help comparing it to myself.

It followed me in all of my games... and there it was; the first E3A-strip XD
