Earthquake comix

[sabotabby]

I was going to post something really flippant but then I stumbled upon Coco Wang's earthquake comics so I'm going to post those instead. I got to #6 before I was in tears, which yes, is a warning.

[sabotabby]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

yah you warned me; I figured if you cried I'd for sure cry. but honestly they make me almost want to throw up they're so intense. But I'm nonetheless thankful to you for posting.

I got to #2 before bawling. These are amazing! I love how comix bring you in right into a situation much more than reading a headline like "hundreds of schoolchildren died."

I had to stop reading the news about both China and Myanmar. I just can't process that kind of thing. I find the comics somehow more powerful, though; you're right.

God, that's... just... wow.

(Aside - that's a wonderful album.)

Is it drawn by Jack Chick?

Is that supposed to be a joke?

Let me rephrase: "The drawing style reminds me of Jack Chick".

Jesus God!

I hate human interest stories (unless there's a bear involved; I like bears). I hate propaganda. I hate propaganda comics.

But shit. That almost had me in tears. Good comic manga.

Almost totally off topic: I have gotten this clip from two people now (I think jordansc was the first) and I had to share it with you. Fucked up American politics ahoy!

Which explains my icon, because it should have been either Bush or Krazy Kat.
