Comic Artist Explores Friendship And Love In The Age Of Facebook | Gender and art | Scoop.it

"Try to meditate on a Yumi Sakugawa comic and not smile while doing so. It's not easy. The comic artist crafts Facebook savvy, one-eyed monsters, clumsy cats (in human clothes) and possibly, but not certainly, morbid scenarios with the perfect dose of bittersweetness. With creatures that look as though they were picked fresh out of the imagination, Sakugawa transplants the banal problems of the social media age onto fantastical creatures who too are just trying to get by."
