Stan Sakai is taking a break from his long-running series Usagi Yojimbo, and he explains why in a short comic on the Dark Horse site: He's taking time off to draw 47 Ronin, a historical tale written by Dark Horse President Mike Richardson. The comic is cute and turns what could just be a creator's note into a dynamic encounter with lots of action and a funny twist at the end. In other words, it's pure Sakai. And yes, he promises he will resume work on Usagi Yojimbo once he's done with 47 Ronin.
