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.
An artistic use for Wingdings! Now* we’ve seen everything. And look at our Racia, taking action even though it’s difficult, even though it might not amount to anything! They grow up so fast.
As always, thank you so much for reading! We couldn’t do this without you all. Come back on Monday (2/27) for the next Antau story, “His Story Repeats Itself!” Following in the pattern we’ve established so far, that one’s gonna lean more toward “comedy.” We hope you’ll enjoy it! We’ll be shaking up that “formula” pretty soon here, so don’t get too comfortable.
*actually we saw this when we finished the page, but the magic of the internet allows us to live in a #permanentpresent
the story: I Live In A Senseless Town
Dive into the tortured and erratic mindscape of a young woman (Racia Aster) as she feverishly imagines a bleak future, and the options open to her and her society within it, over the course of one day in a charming cafe in their Senseless Town.
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
