http://sharpener.johnband.org/2005/07/the-discretion-of-the-hangman/ Trying to make a point Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:21:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://sharpener.johnband.org/2005/07/the-discretion-of-the-hangman/#comment-2303 Mon, 25 Jul 2005 16:33:56 +0000 http://www.thesharpener.net/?p=110#comment-2303 There was an excellent mini-comic that came with Issue 13 of McSweeney’s quarterly about a female suicide bombing recruit in Israel who decided not to go through with it, and was arrested and jailed anyway. The discussion between her and the policeman is very very interesting, and the format of a comic for the subject matter very unsettling. I’d recommend Joe Sacco for the same subject matter (palestinian bombers) in the same form. Very powerful medium comics.
