Krachmacher

(Jim Campbell, 2005)
™ and © 2005 Jim Campbell

Artist Jim Campbell produced this small–format comic through the Xeric Foundation. In an unnamed high school cafeteria, socially awkward Marianne attempts to connect with some of her classmates over lunch. The presence of “popular girl” Elke doesn’t help her concentration, and she ends up repeatedly slipping into a surreal tale of having to hunt for food under the sea while she was a child. She does manage to get invited to accompany the others on a getaway trip to the beach, but that just amplifies her anxieties to a whole new level. An odd title for those looking for something different in comics.
