Spaceman, by Marc Hempel

While doing sci-fi library magazine organizing, I found this short comic, "Spaceman" by Marc Hempel, that does realitymashing in a really effective cool way! He needs barely any dialogue or text to express the visual concept of daydreaming; it's so good.

And someone on Pillowfort kindly digitized and uploaded it!

Awesome! A great showcase of the unique capabilities of the comic as a medium. That wouldn't have worked so well if it were film.

Rogan/Sneak: I know, right? And the artist doesn't NEED to tell you "this is a daydream, he's daydreaming about another world," he just SHOWS it, visually, you immediately understand what is happening, and the different color palettes for each world make is instantly clear which is which! IT IS SO COOL!

Man, doing stuff at this library has made us find so much cool stuff we otherwise would've known nothing about!
