“Rachel”

This is… the very first comic I drew and completed. All the way back in 2010. It’s based on the real experiences of a person who lost a real life friend.

While i have not known “Rachel” personally, I remember the profound sadness I felt after reading the text, and how her lost must have affected those around her. 16 years later, reading this again, I still feel the sadness.

It’s a 10-chapter script, but the last 2 chapters are probably lost. (i only very recently found this back in the google drive) Which is… just as well.

Shoutout to the writer who allowed me to draw out this very personal text.

This comic is drawn slide by slide, designed to be read on 2010., iphones were out, but smartphones didn’t take over the world yet. (I tested this on a nokia back then) Each of the below links will take you to a google site, and its meant to be read as a slideshow.

Side note: I also used to sell toys and used a red tonberry as my mascot. please ignore those websites at the end.

“Rachel”

1: The Boyfriend

2: A Friend

3: … friend?

4: Best Friend?

5: The Enemy

6: A Classmate

7: The Pastor

8: The Brother

9-10 are lost. iirc, 9 is about her teacher, while 10 concludes with “Rachel” herself.

I hope I can one day find them.
