169. The Calling
Zen Pencils is finally back for 2015. Thanks for your patience and happy new year. So this is something a bit different to start the year: an original comic featuring my words. I’ve done a few original strips before (The Artist-troll War, The Next Generation) which were wordless comics, but this is the first time I’ve actually written the prose for a Zen Pencils comic.
The inspiration came from two sources. I was originally adapting a quote by Steven Pressfield, taken from his fantastic book The War of Art (which I recommend to all creative people):
“The artist committing himself to his calling has volunteered for hell, whether he knows it or not. He will be dining for the duration on a diet of isolation, rejection, self-doubt, despair, ridicule, contempt, and humiliation.”
I was also listening to a recent Nerdist interview with Paul McCartney, where he mentioned that he STILL has moments of self-doubt about his music and sometimes thinks he’s not good enough. Paul friggin McCartney! One of the most successful artists of all time still has self-doubt?! Depending on what mood you’re in, this is very comforting or extremely depressing. Comforting to know that even the greats still second-guess themselves. Depressing because you realise the second-guessing NEVER goes away.
The story I envisaged kept growing and growing until eventually Pressfield’s quote didn’t really fit anymore, so I decided what the hell, I’ll try writing it myself. I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether it works or not. Just know that I suffered extreme self-doubt, uncertainty, and fear while making this comic … but I also had lots of fun.

First
Yeah, you have been first in something, for once in your life. Now imagine if the comments in all the blogs are “first”, “second” etc, that have nothing to do with the article or the comic, and that nobody cares for… but me today. Is it so important to be first? Even when you add nothing?
I for one am very glad he let me know who it was that got here first. I believe it adds an incredible amount to the conversation and let’s me know my place, and that the thought “First” has already been spoken and does not need repeating. Thank you “Kyle H.” Your name shall forever be embellished in my history as the First to comment on a ZenPencils comic in 2015.
Relax dude. It’s an old Youtube trend that has stayed alive, and is completely pointless – but funny to see. If you care about conversation go down and type it out with people that will actually respond and talk about it. Don’t waste the finger workout on someone that will most likely only troll you further. Hell, if you really want to stick to the mantra of this website and the overall message, get offline and start creating your own shtuff.
“Aaalrighty then.”
(Wow, you sure told him!)
Is…is that an ancient ’90s reference? Wow.
Speaking of 90s references, “First” predates YouTube and goes all the way back to Slashdot, when it was “First post!”
Wow. The stuff that sticks in your brain…
“First” comment apologists, now? God help us all.
Well, to be fair, he was also the first sperm to hit the egg. This is the 2nd thing he’s ever won 🙂
Well…. Not necessarily the first to the egg, just the first to make it inside. Supposedly, the first sperm to the egg waste themselves on breaking a hole in the cell wall, and only later does a sperm finally get inside.
What a great comic, thanks for everything you share with us. The parents’ reaction broke my heart..I’m a mother and would definitely encourage my child to pursue anything creative (and welcome him back if things don’t go well).
I’m really enjoying your book too. For anyone on the fence about getting it, it is more than worth the money plus you get a cool poster inside the book. It makes a great gift too. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2015!
I agree…it is an excellent comic and rings very true to me. However, I don’t think the individuals depicted were his parents. I think that is his sister, if you look at the first image with the bunk beds. I think she was allowing her brother to crash at her house until her boyfriend/husband/significant other probably threatened, “it’s him or me.” Just my interpretation. 🙂
Great job, Gavin. Your words show that creativity is a passion, not necessarily a choice, and one that has both great risks and rewards.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out Kelly! I see it now. *facepalm*. I love his niece playing guitar at the end.
His sister also dropped her phone and facepalmed lol. Being creative is good and all, but living a life like the one depicted here would not be near the top of how I want to see my kids live.
Great comic! Made me remember Nirvana and Dave Grohl while reading the first part of it. It was a shock that I saw Dave Grohl in it. Talk about tears of joy! Haha. Good one Gav! To more beautiful comics like this. 🙂
I was so anxious to see what artist had written those words: and it was you! Thank you for confirming what I’ve known deep down for a long time: there was never any choice. It really is better to answer that call, I can tell you. I did not, and the price has not been intolerable, but it has meant a life that seems empty to me. More life, less meaning, has not been a bargain. I would advise anyone who gets the call: answer it.
That line “More life, less meaning, has not been a bargain. I would advise anyone who gets the call: answer it.” was the shortest pep lines that I’ve read for this year that pumped me up. Thank you for the words of meaning.
Unbelievably true. I can only imagine the b@lls it takes to keep on putting out creative work. I get stressed out when I put up a stupid little blog post.
Thinking about how crazy people get when they attack artists who put themselves out there. Reminds me of your Kevin Smith comic.
You’re courageous for what you do and it’s really appreciated over here!
Loved it!
This is really good Gav! You should do more of your own stuff!
I almost cried reading this one.
For the last few months I’ve been blaming myself that I should have chosen differently, as my band is not doing so well recently. I should have became a lawyer or an IT guy. But I’ve chosen to pursue my dreams, which led me to despair seeing how hard it is to make something vital, something that could make me say:”The reception has satisfied me enough”. You are so true about how life of an artist is full of embarassment and rejection. But for the first time ever, since we released our first videoclip after 7 years of playing and half a year of recording, I finally don’t feel guilty that it didn’t go as I planned. Because I finally realised, that “The calling chooses you.”
Thank you Gav.
I would like to hear your band, Chris. Post a link? 🙂
This is really, really good. You don’t need to use quotes of famous people all the time because now you’re famous. And you have some amazing stuff to say!
thank you so much for this one, I never know how much I need your artwork and tremendous messages, but at the very moment of reading them. We all have felt, feel and/or will feel this calling, it is deep inside whispering all the time, but sadly, this life is more and more apart from the inner path, thanks to this I have awaken something, now it´s time to let it be and follow it.. Thank you so much again.
Your work is amazing & you are inspiring. Keep it up!!!
This is the story of every musician I know! Wonderful.
Although I love your interpretations of so-called famous quotes, I think this is one of the most inspiring and heartfelt comics you’ve shared with us. As others here have written, you should visualize your own words more often. Thanks for all that you do to inspire, comfort, and motivate the world!
I like it. I would be curious about the same script/words with a different art (writing, dance, paint, etc), and how the story may change.
I love your idea, Lia!
For a first prose-original comic, your risk paid off greatly, both in seen and unforseen ways.
Your words and images arranged in this way really hit home for me, and it makes me proud to be a fan of yours to keep coming back for every comic to get a little dose of inspiration, motivation, any kind of driving power I need as a creative type, to continue my personal artistic endeavors.
Been working on a new kind of interactive eBook since New Years, and I show no signs of stopping 🙂
Keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. Same to every creative type who frequents this page too!
-Brett
Love it.
What I got out of the strip was that finding success in your calling is nowhere near as important as simply recognizing your calling for what it is: an impulse.
Denial of that impulse leaves you unfulfilled, most often in ways one cannot really understand until we encounter others who have fed their impulse differently. Success is no guarantee. It never has been and it never will be. But the impulse? It’s always there. Find it and feed it.
Thank you for this inspiration art work! For these uncertain time of my life, I am struggle through something I can’t name. Thanks for the pep “art”.
Nice first go at the writing. You’ve got a great talent… keep it up. Besides, the bruises are what make you better.
I like this a lot. Having been corporate, creative , back to corporate, I see highs and lows and benefits to both. Stress about money is no fun, stress about lack of purpose is no fun. It’s a balancing act, especially when you have dependants. In both scenarios, when I can relax and be myself – I get the most from others around me and contribute the most. That’s what this guy does – teaching the little niece is his another high point for him that he probably didn’t aim for.
You’ve got a good feel for story and the ending was priceless.
Great comic. Made me smile. Made me think of that quote by Vonnegut (?) – the world needs more … something about creative people. Do you know what I’m talking about. That would make a good zen pencils comic.
I love this one, Gav. The look in his eyes during his failures completely captures the feelings of inadequacy and exhaustion from trying so hard, as do the looks of total freedom and love for life in the scenes when he’s playing. As an artist who has gone through insecurity and fear, thank you for helping me that it will never end; somehow it helps me to know that there is no magical plateau I’ll one day reach that tells me I’ve “gotten there.” To have that endless desire where I’ll still struggle with those feelings is to never stop trying to improve my art. Because what kind of crap could I make if I didn’t have a fire bursting out of me? It’s those moments you describe — the moments of “touching the light,” as you call it — that make me want to continue. And knowing that it’s a place that I’ll only get to visit occasionally throughout my life is okay, because that makes it all the more special. Excellent comic, man.
If this were a poster, I’d buy it right now and check every day for it to arrive. This really hit home right now. Fantastic as always, but especially now, Gavin.
Happy New Year, Gavin. Heartfelt thanks for the comic; it brought tears to my eyes. May it bring comfort and strength to every artist who sees it!
I like it.
Well done. Self doubt, yes, we all have it and it doesn’t go away. The Macca quote is priceless. Ignore it. You done good.
This is beautiful. I think you’re going to need to posterize it.
Great job. I enjoyed reading and keep waiting to see who wrote it! It was very cool to see that you had written it.
Looks like self-doubt has driven you to create an eloquent piece of prose. Great stuff, Gav.
T
It’s a blessing to know and have found your calling. Never give up!
I like how the rocker puts his hair in a pony tail when he’s not on stage.
Gav, day by day you’re giving me wisdom, but most important of all you’re making me start to know myself.
As a young musician, who’s studying Business Economics, Quotes and images like these just reach me too deep inside me, and open again the debate of what I should do with my life. Thank you Gav, for real.
Gav,
Thank you very much for continuing to inspire. This was a touching and relatable comic. Thank you for being so receptive to other’s creative endeavours as well.
So glad to see Zen Pencils back! This was amazing, like every one of your comics. This website has inspired me to keep trying with my creativity even though I often do not like how it turns out. Thank you so much!
(One thing to ask, does anybody know of a different way to submit a quote other than facebook? I am not able to get to facebook, and do not have an account. I have a quote I’ve been wanting to submit for awhile that I always look at when I need a little push)
Thanks for this one, Gav! I can understand why you found the leap to writing your own prose slightly terrifying, but you done good. 😉 Also I wanted to tell you that I gave your book to my 15 year-old son for Christmas, and I think he has really enjoyed it. I catch him rereading it often. Thanks for making it easy for this mom to pass on her favorite quotes in a cool fashion!
I only kept wondering where did the quote come from this time. It is so encouraging and discouraging at the same time, so full of hope and despair.
For one I really liked it, as it’s somewhat like life, it never really is black nor white. For it is on us to find the good and bad for every experience.
Glad to see you are back, great to see your words along.
Beautiful ! Art and Words. Thank you!
Hey Gal! Great writing! For me it remembers very much how i read a comic, with pauses and short sentences.
Amazing comic!!!!! Thanx for share 😀
Wonderful!! Plus, as an artist that has also spent time as a ski bum, scuba instructor + world traveler and a scientist, I whole-heartedly agree. Our callings choose us, and while there seems to be choice sometimes, there really isn’t deep down inside. Kudos on this original work!
This is lovely Gav!
As a student artist, I love this, it really resonates with me. Thanks Gav!
Also, LOVE the “Master of my Fate” tattoo he has. It seems perfect for him.
“You don’t choose your calling… calling chooses you” – holy sh*t, that struck like a lightening bolt!
Excellent comic, Gav.
I’ve been following for quite some time now, just wanted to let you know that I love what you’re doing here.
I’m an independent muso, so I can totally relate to this one; playing gigs to crowds of 4 people can get a little depressing. But then there are the big gigs where ya sell a bunch of CDs and everyone gets into it, so there’re plenty of ups for all the downs.
Good onya mate, looking forward to the next original comic!
You have summoned it up very well indeed! Good luck in Singapore!
Not just your drawing the words are great too. I love what you said here. What I appreciate is that there is no vindication or a fairy tale ending to it with the singer becoming famous and rich but still persevering.
Beautiful words Gavin!! Gave me goosebumps 🙂
Ooh this one kind of split me, it doesn’t exactly promote going with your creative side and letting it flow, but on the other hand i guess it could be true for the majority of people doing this.
But of course there are other ways, you can do it alongside a job, or create a job from it by teaching etc, to achieve a more happy rounded life and not necessarily lived on your sisters sofa!
But either way, this is living and you will weigh up the good vs bad feelings in you for yourself.
A good thought provoker for me you have created here Gav, like it!
It read like all your other comics. The writing is good. I never had a moment where I was pulled out of the story because of the writing (or something else) and it touched me, though in a sad way.
This is the best one that i have ever read !! It’s not a fairy tale, it’s exactly how life is!
This is brilliant Gav!!
y SO WIERD ENDING ?
I love his tattoo!
How comforting to hear even the greats are unsure of themselves sometimes, often, always. Let me reassure you: you are doing a fantastic job, just by being who you are. Thank you!
Oh lord, I don’t think you could have brought it home any more for me.
I’ve been strugglign for years, thanks to pretty much a lifetime of verbal abuse from my peers and not a lack of support but a lack of understanding my interests or my methods from my parents. The last five or so years, I’ve only barely drawn, made so many half-finished film scripts and found myself barely able to come up with even ideas for short films, drawings or whatnot. It just kept growing. Either there was no ideas, or if there was, I would instantly lose all faith in any hint of an ability I may have had, and nothing ever got finished.
And now I am sitting here, still feeling like I will never amount to a damn thing. That there’s no way i have any talent or will ever be capable of putting in the work to get any acutal skill in any of my endeavours, or for that matter that anyone is going to care about what I do put out, what with the tiny reaction I have ever had to anything I do. After all, my horrific sense of logic tells me, if you actually WERE any good or ever would be, peopel would see some ofit and react, right?
THis anxiety and self-doubt is so damned strong in me, and it is only within the last four months I have had the option of getting any sort of psychiatric help. It is so prevalent that it kees me from believing that I can ever evven find as much as menial labour because I’ve reahced the point where I believe myself useless even in that. And as much as i can tell myself that it’s nonsense and know it’s true, I am still for the most part incapable of feeling it.
I can barely even just watch movies, read a comic book or play a game anymore without, even as I am fully enjoying it, feeling a sharp sting of self-loathing and envy deep in my heart, like the existance of such great stuff is nothign but proof thatI will never create anything that so many people will love, that I am doomed to forever just be talentless, idea less and incapable of building skill and will just live an unfulfilled life. All because there are so many greats out there.
So I guess basically what I am saying is, “you got the fear, anxiety and self-doubt part exactly right”.
But then I look at the fact that I have made five short films out of nothing, and have at least five more scripts and many more script ideas lying around. And that I finally found the energy in me to make and finish threed drawings within two weeks and practiced digital lineart while doing so, because I wanted 2015 to be different – more drawings than I made and finished in a year last year.
So I guess a few of these steps forward and back finally added up.
I don’t know why I went on this huge tirade in your comments, that actually wasn’t entirely the intention. My pointis – your comic speaks the truth, and does in some way comfort me, at least a bit. And that’s priceless. I always love seeing a new Zen Pencils – and hearing something like this from you, who keeps making such amazing work, at least brings to light the possibility that I am just too hard on myself.
So thanks for theccomic, and I’ll look forward to more.
Thank you for your timely message. Split me apart, those last words. “The calling chooses you.” Much love from Singapore.
This is your best work! And it’s an original! Thanks and keeep going!
Thank you for such a great comic. You`re good at writing as well as at painting! And I think that all of your works are amazing.
Thank you Gav,
all the best, from Israel,
definitely worth the wait,
the calling and us – is a two way street of choice,
much like which wolf to feed :),
but as usual, very inspiring and an addition to the good in the world
keep it up
This is just so profound, real, and comforting. Thanks Gav. Thanks for creating this. Always love your work.
Excellent! You have something to say, and you’re saying it. I know you will have more to say and I look forward to it.
BTW, as a self-employed herbalist, I deal with the same nemeses. And also the absolute joy when I teach and everyone is getting it.
And ya know, the plants chose me!
The prose was great in this comic! So don’t even worry 🙂 Thank you for doing what you do, these comics are always so inspiring and uplifting.
Best wishes for the new year!!
Reminds me of my Mechanical engineering classmate, he told me that my photography and enthusiasm was one of the reasons he was changing majors to photography.
He is now a PhD fellow in education, I think.
Gav, you should be proud of yourself, you have done another lovely thing, penning the prose for your own work. I’m sure you’ve thought of doing this for a long time. And your risk, though great, was completely worth it. I hope for a poster in this post future!
This came at just the right time. Just yesterday I was struggling with whether or not to continue with my dream of becoming a writer, even though the chances of success are slim and I face homelessness among other things in the near future. I considered throwing it away and committing myself to a ‘real’ job. And I read this wonderful work of yours, which reminded me why I write in the first place. For the spark that compares with nothing else.
I almost threw away my dream. Thank you for not letting me.
Wow! What an amazing comic! I’ve been a fan of your work for quite some time, and this is definitely one of my favorite ones! So inspiring! 🙂 And just like Chelsea in the comment above, this came to me at just the right time! I’m not an artist “per se” (I’m a PhD student) but everything in this comic rings very true to me. I often feel anxiety, fear, and self-doubt… but I truly believe this is my calling, so I will keep going! I must. Thank you so much for the motivation Gavin!!!! 🙂
My friend suggested this comic to me. And it came in the right time. I’m a musician and I’ve been feeling the self-doubt and anxiety since I chose walking the way as a musician. Sometimes I still stand on the crossroads of where to go. Keep going? or looking for a job in a company? or what? However, the calling strongly pushes me to keep going to pursue my dream. So, I believe that the calling chooses me. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation. Keep writing good comics. Cheers from Indonesia.
If someone in the family falls sick, they will turn to the sister for money
and not the brother. Follow the dream, yes, but there are those who may need
to depend on you. I guess someone has to stay behind. Hard truths.
If it really doesn’t work out for the brother to be a singer, maybe find other work that is related to the music industry? That’s not considered giving up the dream entirely, no?
Great comics, love to see you in Singapore = )
Why don’t the pages load properly? I can’t see beyond the strip where the Dreamer returns home!
Amazing, thank you for sharing this most profound of truths concerning the human spirit. I hope to encourage my students this way on a daily basis.
I was waiting till the end to check out who made the quote and was surprised–then realized I shouldn’t have been. This. Was. EPIC. And so timely for me! Gavin Aung Than, you rock!
Wow! Where did you get your avatar?
Hey Gavin,
Good one, especially last scene 😉
I think uncertainty fear is in our nature. This fear happens all of us. And it happens more to creative people much more than the others.
I strongly believe that world changes the positive way because of the craft of creative people. It is not only becasue of their “craft”, it is becuae of the fact that they show others that “it is possible”. When people see that those great are like all of us, they start to think that they can do it! And it is the first step of the journey.
I have written about this uncertainty fear at my blog, here it is if you like to read:

Greetings,

I really like this comic! Inspiring and sad at the same time. But I suppose that’s life.
Wow, thanks everyone for the encouragement and for sharing your own experiences. Good to know it’s not just me and Paul McCartney who feel this way 😛
You’ve given me the confidence to write more original stuff in the future. I wasn’t sure if you were visiting the site more for the famous quotes or the comic adaptations. Obviously both together are preferred but it’s nice to know that I can try something like this from time to time.
Fucking hell, man. Your comics always get to me, and this one’s no different. This one reaches out to me even more, considering I’m trying, not succesfuly (for now) to be a Rock Guitar player.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on this site but I’m glad to see that you haven’t lost your magic touch, and it has even gotten better, seeing that now you can write your own prose (and pretty well, I might add).
Anyways, congratulations for another great comic. I’ll be looking around for a bit for the comics I’ve missed since the last time I’ve been here.
Keep rocking!
Love it. Thank you. 🙂
<3 !!
I absolutely love how his tattoo says “I am the master of my fate”. It’s a nice little hidden gem in the comic
As always i am a big fan of you art but as an artist myself , I feel insulted . You are equating being an artist with failure. So, I have to ask: gav, where is the success in the story? He didn’t make it with his auditions . He ends up losing his home . He loses and never regains the respect of his family. You are ultimately saying that success in art is an illusion and that the artist is only kidding himself. “Repaid in full , at least that’s what you tell yourself .” “Two steps forward one step back” “journey that never ends ” you know what you are ultimately saying gav? It’s this : be creative all you want. Spend your life being creative but you will not amount to anything. Just try it. That’s after all the artist’s destiny.
To end this rant i would like to say that i love zenpencils and i am thankful for your work but please understand your message.
Take a look at all your characters , the rocker (not even a rockstar) is the only one who fails .
You only have a right over what you do and not what you get from it.
Let your actions not be driven by the fruits it may or may not bear.
(“Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurma Tey Sangostva Akarmani”- The Bhagwad Gita)
This is by far the most beautiful strip I’ve seen on Zen Pencils, and I’ve seen quite a few. I Can’t congratulate you enough!
Your own words are just as inspirational as those of the leaders you choose for your other pieces. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for making this site, I have been visiting your page for about 2 years and to see someone put so much into their work is really inspirational. To see your illustrations develop over time has been so fun, and to have you share that with us all makes me feel privileged. You really capture what it is like to have a calling.
Great work on this topic. Having worked with creative people I would like to add that it does not have to be one or the other. The one I know with the least trauma is someone who is a very good lawer (brings in the money) and who has regular exhibitions of her art and also runs a food stall at a weekend market. That is on top of two kids and a partner. We are capable of more than one thing.
Great work on this topic. 🙂
Great work on this topic ….. 🙂
This is by far the most beautiful strip I’ve seen on Zen Pencils, and I’ve seen quite a few. I Can’t congratulate you enough!
good poster. Well done human Rights.
Hi gav, I would suggest to make this poster printed on T.shirt, I would be the first buyer!!!!!
This Road Can Be A lonely One.
🙁
Dear Gav,
I like this original work just as much as the many inspirational quotes. And you’re quite right – someone born with the creative urge shouldn’t turn their back on the calling.
I see many people jumping on bandwagons, hoping for riches and fame, but the real artists almost always do what they do because they have to. Even if they wouldn’t make any money, even if they would be ridiculed, art comes first.
And success can be measured in many different ways. Personally, the feedback I get from readers mean more to me than sales. I enjoy knowing I reached another person through my fiction. Beats the extra cash on my bank account.
Everybody has their own criteria for success though, and for me it’s putting out the best work I can make and getting appreciation from my fans. I don’t even know if I’d enjoy fame and its trappings…
To become an artist means you have to be willing to go through self-doubt and anxiety but how can one ever be prepared. I am surprised to hear Paul McCartney, one of the greatest musicians ever still has some self-doubts and feels not good enough. He has released many sensational songs that people from all over the world listen to. But I think, it’s also because they want to constantly better themselves and want to create something extraordinary. In general, most artists are risk-takers and have the imagination to dream.
Old time fan of your work here, Gav. As a musician this one left me a little worried about that guy. Sure he’s got the drive, but where’s the professionalism? It takes a lot more mindfulness to make in music than just misguidedly throwing your junk out there and hoping you can subsist off it. The comic comes across more like he’s trying to live the “rock star” life prematurely. When you are young, it’s easy to romanticize being poor and struggle for your art to make it mean something. But in reality, it’s not cool to be 40 and leaching off your sister. You wind up feeling shameful and dependent on everyone but yourself, and too easily discount the “normal way” of making a living. You can do the art AND the normal job, or find a way to make enough money doing whatever you have to in order to eventually give your dreams a shot. Some people get convinced that if they make a living doing something other than their passion, their art will get worse or they are somehow a failure. That’s a dangerous way of thinking that can lead to a lot of unnecessary self-loathing. I applaud the “rocker’s” persistence, but I would also tell him he needs to shape up his act, his image, and stop mooching.
This is beautiful. Thank you very much for continuing to inspire. Well done
It’s amazing how much I keep coming back to this one comic again and again and again. So much so that I’ve got it saved (sorry!) in my download folder and it just stays there and I see it every so often and each time read it through.
And each time it slaps me in the face and gives me a smile.
In it’s own way I’d just like you to know that while I love all your comics, this one is (for me) THAT moment. It makes angels sing. It carries a piece of the collective creative soul that resonates with someone like me and for that I just want to say: Thank you.
Cheers!
I love the uncertainty of the ending, but it just seems so apt. The story never ends 🙂
Though a sequel featuring the niece would be awesome 😀
Is this referred to someone?
Gav, it’s prefect. Thank you. I really needed to see this today. (:
Sorry, I had something in my eye. (‘: Perfect was what I meant to type.
It’s wonderful that you’ve started to become a writer too, Gav!
Thanks for sharing great blog post love it
casi nunca hay personajes negros en esta serie de comics.
y es obvio que hay personas negras con carácter negativo. pero…
por qué el esposo de la chica es negro?
porque solo hay protagonistas negros cuando la frase es de Mandela, Luther King o alguien similar?
No lo vean como una estupidez mia… es solo una reflexión.
por favor, Gavin Aung… piensa en eso!
Nice work, this is a great comic.
I like it, thanks!
