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.

The term “Dooglord” is actually a relic of some earlier drafts of this story which survived a lot of the changes we made in the interest of streamlining things because it still works. You can find out more about that sort of thing on our patreon page!

The idea of a new ruler taking a new title is an interesting one you see throughout history. China’s term for emperor was actually a portmanteau of the two terms traditionally used to refer to its mythological Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

the story: His Story Repeats Itself

Antau finally stars in a full-fledged narrative, a bittersweet postmodern tale of personal branding and self-promotion running aground on the Hegelian Weltgeist. We laugh, we lose, we never learn.

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,
