A comic is kinda like planting a tree. It takes a long time to grow and you need to water it (work on it) and give it sunlight (marketing ). If you chop it down, it's not going to grow. Some trees grow faster than others. Don't compare your 2 year old tree to a 400 year old oak.

In a post apocalyptic 1950s type walled city, two men pose as rivals to hide their 25 year relationship.
On the other side of the city, a detective , his sister , a clown and an ex model hunt down a serial killer.

Please don't hold indie animation to one or a professional/corporation backed standard. You are not entitled to indie and it should not be compared in the way corporate animation is.
Please respect indie creators and shows, we are peers, not competitors T-T

I do not see my peers as competition.
I grew up in a very competitive household where a lot of worth was placed on awards and grades.
Indie is a place where we’re doing our own thing and supporting each other, please do not compare us .
We’re all different and doing our best.
