Slavic Nihilism #2 - Chernobyl (Patreon)
Content
I love the provocative tone of this title, although (of course) we're not talking here about horrible nuclear disasters, but about little herb also known as wormwood instead. Why not just call the story Wormwood, then? Well, I am just too fond of the weird tone this title gives to the story in Russian language, and also there are too many "Wormwood" comics already anyway.
(In Russian pronunciation the herb name uses the stress on "Y" rather than "O" when it comes to the ill-fated city, so should I write it as "Chernobýl" for the same distinction?)
Also - I love Japanese movies, whoopty-doo! ;)
Another fun fact is that the logo is actually done as a primitive linocut. And after all this knife work, I still have all my fingers intact, which is phenomenal for me!
(not sure if I'll be able to go the same road for English version of the logo, though... So much work for something that is so easy to emulate digitally!)
