![]() ![]() Michael DeForge’s Ant Colony, a debut graphic novel-length work, exists in the same vein.ĭeForge, who works as a character designer for Adventure Time, presents a fairly bleak vision of an ant colony’s collapse. Regardless, it’s present in the works of several notable sequential artists, foremost among them Anders Nilsen, whose Big Questions examined the human condition (mystified, acted upon by forces beyond the individual’s control, and, most of all, alone) through an anthropomorphized cast of birds. Or the feelings of isolation that lead to hours and hours drawing in one’s room. Maybe it’s the vaguely libertarian views that seem to produce a lot of comics folks. If you’re wondering where existentialism flourishes these days when everyone seems to have a more spiritual force driving his or her actions, the answer is that it currently thrives in comics. ![]()
