Bitstrips Comic
Here is the link to the comic. For me, the most important theme of Little Brother so far, and especially in chapters 6-10, was surveillance and the fear of being watched. When planning his revenge against the DHS, Marcus is constantly thinking about ways that the government could be spying on him and catching him, and he tries to counteract them. I wanted to make a comic that echoed that same sort of fear of being watched. However, in brainstorming for ideas, I thought about the fact that when we create a comic strip, we are in a sense creating a universe and then watching that universe. So, when the "nuts" person in my comic feels like he is being watched, it's because he is being watched, by us, the reader.
