My comic SICKLICKAL SORROW made for the new zine by OlyComixCult You can get the whole zine on their page (@olycomixcult on insta), It features some fantastic work by artist in the Olympia Comix Scene.
PAGE 1) TITLE: SICKLICAL SORROW. P1) A sad looking orb man says: "GATHER ROUND AND HEAR MY TALE OF WOE, FOR I WAS NOT ALWAYS A BALLISH BLIGHT UPON THE TOWN SQUARE. ONCE UPON A TIME I WAS AS SHARP AS THEY COME. BUT THEN I CONTRACTED ORB-HEAD DISEASE!" P2) Narration: "THE CONICAL DOCTORS HAD NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A ROTUNDLY HIDEOUS SPECIMINE AS ME..." A plague doctor measures the orb head with a protractor. They say "OH JEEZ" P3) 4 square headed people smile with sharp grins. Narration: "THE SQUARES JEERED AT MY LUMPULARITY WITHOUT REMORSE" P4) Image of a cartoonishly angular house. Narration: "I WAS FORCED TO JOIN MADAME ACUTE'S HOME FOR THE CORNERLY CHALLENGED" Page 2) P1) The orb headed guy attempts to fit through a square door. Narration: "MY CONDITION WAS SO SEVERE THAT I COULD NOT FIT MY ROTUND DOME THROUGH THE RECTANGLISH ENTRYWAY... SO INSTEAD I SLEPT IN A NEST OF GRIME NEARBY..." The window next to the door is a LOSS.JPG meme. P2) A bowl of gruel smiles back to the viewer while being stabbed with a spoon. Narration: "MY DAILY GRUEL WAS A CRUEL DOPPLEGANGER. I DEVOURED IT WITH VENGEFUL WRATH" P3) The orb guy looks sadly at the gruel bowl. Narration: "MY LIFE HAD BECOME AS SICKENING AS MY DISGUSTING VISAGE." P4) Closeup of the orb guys face, their pupil forms a hypnotic swirl. Narration: "BUT ONE DAY I REALIZED A TRUTH THAT WAS PREVIOUS UNIMAGINABLE!" Page 3) P1) A sprawling rectangular cityscape. Narration: "THE RECTANGULAR LIVES SPENT IN RECTANGULAR BUILDINGS FOR RECTANGULAR MONEY TO SPEND ON RECTANGULAR BUILDINGS TO HOLD RECTANGULAR LIVES. IT WAS A CIRCULAR PRISON." P2) The orb guy is crouched within the panel and reaches one arm outside of it. Narration: "THE BOXES THAT CONTAINED MY REALITY WERE IMAGINARY CONSTRUCTS. IF I STOPPED BELIEVING IN THEM I COULD REACH BEYOND TO GRASP FREEDOM." Page 4) The orb guy tumbles through the solar system. Narration: "I TUMBLED INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT BEYOND THE FIRMAMENT OF REALITY AND BORE WITHNESS TO ALL MANNER OF CELESTIAL BEAUTY. I SAW: THE ROUND EARTH, THE ROUND THE ROUND SUN, THE ROUND PLANETS. I WATCHED THEM DANCE AROUND EACHOTHER IN CYCLICAL HARMONY." Page 5) P1 - P3 (text only, three squares at the top of the page). P1) Narration: "I USED TO KNOW TIME AS THE RIGID BOXES OF MY CALENDAR." P2) Narration: "THE BEGINNINGS AND ENDS OF THE WASTED MOMENTS BETWEEN." P3) Narration: "THE MAYBES OF NEXT YEAR CLINGING TO THE REGRETS OF LAST YEAR." P4) There is no panel frame. The orb guy is floating with their head haloed by a mobius strip. Narration: "BUT OUT HERE I COULD SEE TIME FOR WHAT IT TRULY WAS. A MOBIUS STRIP THAT CURLED AROUND MY HOPES AND DREAMS. ONE INFINITE SIDE TO EVERY STORY." P5) The orb guy lays down in a puddle with dizzy swirls above their head. They are partially outside the panel frame. The gruel bowl and spoon are laying nearby. Narration: "BUT THEN I WOKE UP IN A PUDDLE OF UNDIGESTED THROUGHTS." Page 6) p1) A square headed guy looks at you with a judgmental smirk. Narration: "THE SQUARES DISBELIEVED MY DIVINE KNOWLEDGE IN AN EFFORT TO PRESERVE THEIR FALSE SENSE OF SUPERIORITY." P2) The square looks exhausted. Narration" THEY CONTINUED TO SEARCH FOR THE RIGHT ANGLES TO APPRECIATE THEIR LIVES..." The square says "BLEGH" Narration: "BUT FOUND IT DISAPOINTINGLY OBTUSE." P3) The orb guy is begging on their knees. Narration: "I PLEADED FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND BUT THE FOOLS REFUSED TO LISTEN TO THE UNFAMILIAR TRUTHS OF MY CIRCUITOUS LOGIC." P4) Half of the orb guys face is in frame, their eyes are bulging with rage. Narration: "THE OLD ME WOULD HAVE GREEDILY CLUTCHED TO MY PITY AND ANGER..." P5) The other half of the orb guys face is in frame, it is serene. Narration: "BUT THE NEW ME KNEW THAT BEAUTY WAS ALWAYS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER." P6) No frame. The orb guy is hugging the world. Narration: "I EMBRACED MYSELF AS I WOULD EMBRACE THE WORLD. I FELT NO FLAW, NO BLIGHTED DISEASE, OR SHAME OF DIFFERENCE. ONLY BLISSFUL DELIGHT AND THE UNIQUE PERFECTIONS OF NATURE." THE END <3 - Nanette Cloud 2024. (Thanks Tucker, Mallory, Nadia, and Alana)
