3 page story.
This story is a bit of an experiment. I wanted to try and convey abstract Ideas with out using word balloons and see how successful words with in the image could be at conveying those ideas.

Dude, do you mean ‘word balloons’ in the second sentence?
This idea intrigues me. I almost wonder if more judicious word usage would have stronger impact. i..e write shitloads of descriptive words and then really nail it down to the key 5 or 6 that will form a sentence in the reader’s mind and use them. Just a thought anyway. And the art is nice!

Oops you’re right, fixed it. Thanks
Richard has talked about this idea of sifting through a lot of words and distilling them to form Haiku.
I think you’re right it would have a stronger impact. Generally there is no fluff in comics text anyway.

I reckon save the haiku for a separate comic. That’s a challenge in itself
