This Korean webcomic—Slog tipper Michael sent it my way—has been circulating the internet for a day or so. It's a very fine example of a comic book that works on the internet in a way that print could not duplicate. There's not much of a story here—maybe if the text were translated, we would have more insight into what's going on—but it's atmospheric, and creepy, and it solves a problem that has affected the self-esteem of cartoonists everywhere for some time now: How does a static medium like comics compete with the dynamic thrills of a medium like film? This is one way. I'm sure there are plenty of others.
