I don’t think I’ve ever come across a “funny animal” comic as serious and heartbreaking as this one. You look at the characters and expect them to get into silly gags, but nothing could be further from the truth. It’s a surreal adventure that is as fascinating as it is unsettling.
How on earth does the author write a solution to this into the plot? This is probably one of the most surreal “comics” I’ve read in a long time. It then begs the question: if one’s partly enraptured by the “snap”, they don’t feel pain? What happens to the part of the body that is caught in the wall? Is the person still able to feel that body part, or is it numb? I have so many questions.
I really, really hope Aaron doesn’t give us the bad ending with these two. This comic series can get quite dark despite its cartoony nature. Partly what draws me to it, but man, I don’t want to see these kids gets snapped.
I think we all agree that today’s strip is mangled. Aaron – can you post this full comic in an additional location? Perhaps GoComics is doing this, but that does you no favors if you spent all that time rendering what your readers can’t make out.
