minus

minus.

A comic of magic in a mundane world. Created with watercolours (?) on Illustrator board. Updates every week or two, irregularly, starting on the ninth of February 2006. Created by Ryan Armand.

minus is quite unusual. Each comic tells a short story about minus (the protagonist, a young boy with magical powers), sometimes in continuity and sometimes not. It teeters on the edge of wish-fufilment, with minus revenging himself on bullies and traveling to far-away lands, but just enough humility and 'realism' is added for it to work. As such, it's quite interesting to see just what Mssr. Armand will think of for each comic; the youth of the protagonist by no mean diminishes the depth of the content.

If my enthusiasm lacks something, despite my best efforts to the contrary, seek out the Qesley (in the comments), that he might make up any shortfall twofold.
