Abada

2021 · 14 min

A quiet, uncomfortable study of a father-son rift, watching a man deflect the story that exposes him.

Overview
The son wrote a comic book about his childhood. He sent it to his father who’s been living in the south for years. But the father didn’t really care about reading that story where he is drawn naked in most panels.
