tiny ghosts is a creepy, melancholy, sometimes depressing,
sometimes darkly humorous, weekly, photo webcomic. It's maybe about
what it feels like to be a monster or a ghost or a robot, but not
the scary kind. It's about being frightened of war and what you
might turn into when you grow up if you aren't careful. It's about
loss and longing and love and hope and being small and scared of a
big world and not knowing your place in it and wanting to belong
but always being on the outside and not being sure that God loves
you but really hoping he does, because pretty much everyone else
thinks you are a weirdo. Each comic is a combination of two
sentences of a story and two photographs. The reader is encouraged
to use this fragment as a seed and develop the rest of the story
within their own minds.
First World Problems tells the existential struggles of a gen-x
would-be revolutionary/terrorist who is frustrated that he can't
find a greater purpose or a cause worth fighting for. Set in DC
between the WTO protests in 2000 and the attacks of 9/11, the
protagonist- a disaffected, unreliable narrator who is irritated
and bewildered with the world and the attitudes of those around
him, wanders aimlessly through his interactions with coworkers,
friends, and his girlfriend, all of whom seem to care about him but
don't understand him. He lashes out in a passive-aggressive way by
maintaining a blog filled with tips "terrorists and anarchists" can
use in their attacks, but the blog receives few hits or feedback,
no matter how incendiary the posts. He attends the WTO
demonstration hoping to experience a riot, but is disappointed at
how artificial and tame political protests have become in the new
millennium. He dreams of a major attack, just to shake up the
status quo. But when 9/11 unfolds he is forced to reassess his
goals and what is important in his life

within our wombs. All over the world children are being

too removed from our own. Adopted Son perfectly blends hard sci-fi
