Chapter 1: The Arrival
Slug Trails
Wow!
You know, you never know what to expect until you go looking. The past couple of days I've spent some time going through the various Keenspace lists and I've got to admit, I'm really impressed! There are a fair number of artists out there that can manage to do what I could never even think of. They manage to tell their entire story in just one panel. Stories that seem simple but are full of complexity. In one, a primative stick figure sees a rope bearing a sign saying "Do Not Pull". The figure pulls the rope, and is crushed by a falling safe. Who is the figure? Who cares! The figure is all of us, or it again places us in the position where we see someone doing something foolish, yet are unable or unwilling to help. Pure Poetry in it's simplicity! Likewise still others create rich stories without even needing to present comics. These are comics in the truely Modern sense! |
