Went to the Asian Art Museum Saturday with Claudia and saw three great exhibits.
Tezuka, the father of modern manga. Incredible to see his original artwork and learn a little more about him.
Yoshitoshi, a 19th century "manga" artist (that's his picture above). Very interesting development of his style during the time when Japan was starting to relate with the outside world.
Story Scrolls; a small collection of scrolls used to illustrate live storytelling. Some of this is the most detailed work I've ever seen.
But it took the development of the "temporal frame," which Tezuka quickly mastered, to marry art and story.

This sounds interesting! Glad you are all well after the pee/faint scare. Hope you don't have to work today...
