Thwart Thus

    (Neko, 2005)
™ and ©2005 Foo Swee Chin

This strange and impenetrable book from the artist known as “Fsc” has something to do with aliens installing themselves inside human newborns to study humanity in its “natural living habitat”. A rogue alien and a wayward young human host make for an unhappy match. In addition to the usual alien-human misunderstandings and popped-out eyeballs, the narrative transmits some angst about the mistreatment of animals and the homeless. Unorthodox spelling and grammar choices aggravate some abrupt narrative transitions and murky line continuity to render this intentionally ambiguous book nearly unfathomable. The black and white illustration shows some manga influence.
