This blurb was written when this comic page first went online. It might not accurately reflect the current state of the RACIANTAU project. Consider it a piece of history.

Gawd Racia we had such a good thing going with those dialogue-free pages and you just had to RUIN IT, didn’t you, RUIN IT WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BUNNERS.

Do I really have to say that I like the top row’s construction? Do I really think the audience of this comic hasn’t picked up on some of my artistic preferences? No to both. And yet the things remain said. We can’t take back our words, you know. Well, I can and did multiple times while writing this. But NOW I can’t.

Well, I can. And someday the servers that store this website’s data alongside countless others’ will collapse under the weight of time and dust and nothing will remain of our people and what we loved, hated, lusted after, cried for, were pretentious in our preference of. I know it, you know it; Racia knows it.

“We’re hooome, Bunners.”

the story: Battlemon

In a cheap but legally permissible knockoff world in the style of Pokemon or Monster Rancher we peek into the shared lives of a young woman (Racia) and her Battlemon partner (Bunners) as they navigate the expectations society has of them and they have of each other.

the comic: RACIANTAU

An ongoing study in comics, storytelling, and philosophy, RACIANTAU is a comics anthology structured in the form of an essay. The title of the project (pronounced /rɔsiɑntoʊ/) is a contraction of the names "Racia" and "Antau" — the two main characters. The kids try to make sense out of a senseless world of VIOLENCE, IMPERMANENCE, ISOLATION. Anxious about the FUTURE OF OUR SPECIES, they find themselves face to face with the VOID WHICH CONSUMES ALL THINGS. In each story, one or both of them inch closer towards self-realization.

We're a self-taught comic-making duo with absurd politics and philosophy. We've made every page out of a desire for exploration and improvement. But if you enjoy what we put forth, your kind words will motivate us (email: hello@raciantau.com). If you want to read more, please join our fans and become our patron.

Yours,

Em & Iris
