Tear-Stained Introspective Comics

by Nathan

Much thanks to Brian Rea and Sam Weber at the New York Times OpEd for asking me to join the Summerscapes series (which previously showcased comics by Hope Larson and Vanessa Davis). It was definitely nice to put my thoughts into comic form with my experiences in Japan still fresh in my mind. This piece ran on Labor Day.

I just got here through my tracker. How is it that I don't know your work!? This is beautifully executed on every level.

i love the panel of "loving every minute of it." it's hard to explain sometimes how little trials can be so valuable/enjoyable (?) but that drawing comes close to doing it. kudos!
