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.

Sooo ………….

“Mars”? As in, in English? Good eye! “MARS FREEDOM COLONY” does not take place in the same setting as “SENSELESS TOWN,” which is best thought of as the “real” setting. Earth is, as you may know from personal experience, surreal.

the story: Mars Freedom Colony

Racia and Antau join forces once more in our capstone on Civics. In the distant future Earth is so covered in crap no one wants to deal with it anymore, so humanity turns starward to start anew on Mars. Whatever obstacles stand against us we'll always look forward and move onward, bouyed by our greatest ideals: ingenuity, community, and above all else, freedom.

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.
