Sarah

A random minicomic pulled from deep in the backlog.

Title: Sarah
Publisher: K. Thor Jensen
Date: 2004
Writer: K. Thor Jensen
Artist: K. Thor Jensen

High school melodrama in minicomic form. The narrator is not exactly a friend to the title character, but she treats unpopular Sarah better than most students, and so she's the shoulder that Sarah ends up crying on over boyfriend drama involving the narrator's brother.

Sarah is in love, but of course it's the narrator who has to live with this guy and she knows what a jerk he can be.

Suddenly she finds herself stuck in the middle of an emotional meltdown that she wants no part of. Right in the girls' bathroom in the period before English Comp.

Oh, and by the way, every character in this comic is drawn in a superhero/villain costume. For no reason that is ever mentioned. Which definitely makes this way more awesome than it would have otherwise been.

Genuinely sad story, with just a bit of a surreal edge.

Rating: 7.5/10
