ROKetship

ROKetship is a comic made by Luke Martin and it is hillarious!

Here is the link to his website: http://roketship.tumblr.com/tagged/konglish
You can also find him in Facebook as well under ROKetship.
Here is a review I found on his FB page:

ROKetship IS my life in Korea. Author/Illustrator Luke Martin has perfectly captured the experience of being an expat in Korea. It is often hard to explain what life is like to those who haven't lived here, but he has certainly nailed it on the head!

His clever depictions of both the obvious and more subtle aspects of Korean culture and life as a foreigner are funny and insightful without being insensitive or insulting. You know you've got gold when upon reading every comic, one's immediate response is "It's so True! I remember when that happened to me....".

This book is ideal for both foreign expats with experience in the Land of Morning Calm who have tried to explain to others what their life is like, those considering moving to the ROK, or anyone who appreciates reading about other cultures.
