Here are a couple pages from a new manga that I bought last weekend -- 'Ito Junji's Cat Diary'
Junji Ito is best known for his horror manga such as Uzumaki, Gyo, Tomie and Flesh-Colored Horror. This is the first non-horror comic that I've read by him but then, he's always had one foot planted firmly in absurd humor. 'Cat Diary' is about Ito, his wife, and his pet cats Yon and Mu.
In this sequence we see the author fighting (and almost losing to) Yon for a fish. It's a good sequence to show because you don't need to be able to read Japanese to get what's going on.
{note that you're supposed to start reading it from the top right-hand corner of the right page}.
