Angst #2
"Three Stories" in Angst #2 (2008) delivers a quietly unsettling blend of absurdity and melancholy, with Jason’s stark, unified art and writing weaving three distinct vignettes featuring cartoon animals in bleakly humorous predicaments—chasing butterflies with no clear purpose, trading balloons for scythes in a moment of eerie exchange, and slipping into the water while fishing, all rendered in a tone that’s as dry as it is disarming. The cover by Lars Fiske captures the issue’s off-kilter mood with a single, haunting image that hints at the quiet dread beneath the surface.
