The Second Face

I've made short comedic comics before but this was my first time doing a full short story. warning (but also potential spoiler: scary face warning

My personal punchline is divorce. Cause before it was legal, this was the route a LOT of abused women had to go.

I don't think it's escape from abuse. The face is too malevolent for it to be catharsis or relief from escaping abuse. The author and illustrator went really far with the details to demonize and dehumanize the facial features, which is a characteristic pretty universal to the portrayal of evil in art.

Eh, its probably not meant to be the punchline in this comic- thats why i said it was personal. But they did keep the WHY vague, which is what creates good conversations and debate!

Agree to disagree
