Why I Love Comics – 5.12 Earthquake Strips

Josh just linked to this, and it’s sad and awesome.

Coco Wang is a cartoonist from China, who has drawn some comic strips of smaller stories of the earthquake hit country that we haven’t really heard so much in the west.

I’m not saying that comics are the only way of doing this sort of reportage, but in this case they are certainly pretty effective, especially when news media have become difficult to trust or respond to without cynicism.

Without some pretty brutal resizing, I can’t get an image to show, so you should probably go visit instead…
