Waiting

A minicomic from the backlog.

Title: Waiting
Publisher: Nikki Benecke
Date: 2004
Writer: Nikki Benecke
Artist: Nikki Benecke

 Micro-minicomic from Nikki Benecke. The title is "Waiting", and it mixes images of a man in a waiting room with images of the Sisyphus myth.

This was a quick, but effective bit of symbolism, addressing the nature of the human condition. What are we waiting for? What is the point of anything?

The artwork is a minimal, sketch style, which is effective for the story that the artist is telling.

This is a nice example of taking a simple idea and bringing it to life in the comics medium.
