Hyperbole And A Half - copyright 2011 Allie Brosh |
Somewhere between a comic strip and short graphic novels, and drawn in an engagingly simplistic yet deceptively sophisticated - and sometimes disturbing - style, Hyperbole has quite a following, and with good reason.
Allie's latest offering, Wolves, from which these images are taken, is a cautionary tale about Benny, a 13-year-old boy, who is lured into a "wolf pack" game by a bunch of six-year-old girls at a birthday party.
What starts as a party game - at least from Benny's point of view - soon becomes an almost Lord of the Flies-esque run for survival. The strip is funny, beautifully drawn, extremely perceptive of the nature of six year olds, and at times quite scary!

Please note that for reasons I have not been able to solve yet, I have enormous difficulty posting replies to comments - so I apologize if you ask a question or just make some wonderful remarks and I am not able to respond. I am working on this, because it is very frustrating, but apparently it involves rewriting some of the code of the template! So do not hold your breath...
Thank you for taking the time to comment, and for reading my blog - Alexander
