YONKOMA COLLECTION VOL.1

Published by CLUBE DO INFERNO (Lisboa, PT) +

Yonkoma Collection Vol. 1, 2014.

B/w laser print w/ cardstock cover & rounded corners, A5. 12 pages. 

First printing of 50 copies. Special edition of 20 copies in blue risography. Written in English. 

Presented at the 4th Feira Morta (Lisbon, PT ) on November 29th, 2015.

A set of comic strips in yonkoma format (meaning “4 panels” in Japanese), which could be an omake/extra for Hetamoé’s story in QCDA#2000.

As the latter, Yonkoma Collection is a zine made from whispers and fragments, here encapsulated within the metric regularity of four beats – somewhere between haiku economy, the condensed sequentially of Photomaton nostalgia, and the postmodern remix atlas of the Tumblr dashboard.

In a total of 17 + 1 strips (there are four different back covers, forming an additional yonkoma when combined), the themes range from rides in the snow to Japanese pretty boys, from Man Ray paintings to a certain resentment over summer’s end.

Conjunto de tiras em formato yonkoma (“4 painéis” em japonês), que poderia servir de omake/extra à história da Hetamoé no QCDA#2000.

Tal como esta última, Yonkoma Collection é um zine feito de sussurros e fragmentos, aqui encapsulados na regularidade métrica de quatro batimentos – algures entre a economia do haiku, a sequencialidade condensada do nostálgico photomaton, e esse atlas do remix pós-moderno que é a dashboard do Tumblr.

No total, são 17+1 tiras (existem quatro contracapas diferentes, que quando reunidas formam um yonkoma adicional), com temas que incluem passeios na neve, rapazes japoneses, pinturas do Man Ray, e um certo ressentimento por o Verão ter acabado.
