Shi Long Pang, The Wandering Shaolin Monk is a Xeric award-winning historical fiction kung fu action adventure comedy drama comic set in 17th century China. It updates every Friday. Say it like this: Sher Loong Pong. Hey, that was awesome and well done!

Here's just a small bit of what to expect from this comic:

And here are the main characters:

Pang
Small and round, you probably wouldn't expect this fellow to be a Shaolin monk, but he obviously is because it's in the title. Born and left to die in a rice paddy, he was taken in by Head Abbot to live at the temple. He loves pickled turnips and always carries an endless supply of naivety and well-meaningness.
Jian
Somewhat rash, yet fiercely loyal, Jian is Pang's best friend. He was always a little jealous of Head Abbot's apparent preference for Pang, but is comforted by the fact that he can kick Pang's ass while blindfolded.
Master Bo
Bo was Pang's master as a boy, and one of Eight Herbs Mountains best fighters. The only monk to have traveled extensively across the Middle Kingdom, Bo had been working as a liaison for the temple's dealings with the Manju.
Head Abbot
The head monk of Eight Herbs Mountain, and essentially Pang's father figure. He is a thoughtful, wise and compassionate man who thoroughly enjoys meditating and slamming his head into slabs of stone.
Innkeeper Guo
The local innkeeper in the bustling town that Pang has chanced upon. He's a bit of a curmudgeon, and idolizes the Manju, but he's nice enough to put up Pang for a night or two (mostly because it's bad luck to turn down a priest).
Yang Yang
The innkeeper's niece. She's smart and cute and somehow her feet are unbound, which is definitely a plus from where Pang's standing. But why is Pang looking anyway? He shouldn't be looking at a girl—he's a monk. Golly, but her ears are so cute oh my god.
The Eight Bannermen
A group of shady individuals—Manju soldiers disguised as traveling merchants—looking for one certain monk with one certain book.
