After our mammoth series of posts for the Cartoonists for Gaza social media campaign (see all the galleries here) we have a very poignant follow-up at Broken Frontier today. Cartoonist AJ O’Neill (The Kid in the Cave, Never Mind It’s Only the Fucking Apocalypse) has kindly shared this entire short comic Sweaty Eyes with us as an extra addition to the series. AJ described it on Instagram as a “short true story that happened to me last week when I made a new friend” and that it was presented “With love and respect and deep furious sadness.” It’s a powerful, poignant and beautifully told tale that we are going to let speak for itself, and it comes to you from one of the true rising stars of the UK indie comics scene.
You can find AJ’s online store here. Also don’t forget that Broken Frontier has a dedicated comics Resource List on Palestine here.
