That’s So Julian

Julian Assange spent nearly 7 years at the Ecuadorean embassy…and boy did things get wacky*! Friends, I obviously had to make a comic book about some of those silly* moments. The book is mine from snout to tail, as I am both the writer and artist. I also got it professionally printed, and I’m self-releasing it.

That’s So Julian is made up of 16 black and white interior pages and a full color cover, printed professionally on good quality paper. Here are a few pics, and a few pages from inside the comic itself. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed making it. And do let me know what you think!

 


I’ve packed this comic full of little nods to actual real world events. I won’t give them all away, but I’ll SPOIL the one above for you so you get a sense of what I’m doing.

During Catalonia’s call for independence in 2017, the humor webpage, El Mundo Today falsified a tweet saying it was from Julian Assange. The “joke” was that the phrase is actually a popular tongue twister, part of which is nonsense, portraying Assange as a fool. Assange then responded to the tweet outraged thinking it had come from the newspaper, El Mundo. Needless to say, the entire situation just created a lot of confusion and anger. The underlying reality was that Julian was vocally supportive of the Catalan referendum, something that Ecuador wanted to discourage as they were under pressure from Spain, the UK, and US. Assange was banned from using the internet following this event.

My hope is that this comic is a portal. That you’ll try to look into all the little absurd details I hint at, and learn a bit more about what has happened. I’ve made the comic as absurd as it is because it is impossible for us, the general public, to know what really transpired given the level of misinformation and counter-intelligence muddying the waters. Our view is obfuscated by design–of course it’s absurd.
