Worms is a stream of consciousness story narrated from the point of view of a character that seems to be a woman about the aggression of her father by men in black and her response. It is a mini comics that fits in a wallet, where each page is a single illustration with captions.
As a stream of consciousness story the narrative progression of the story is loose and detours are taken before the narrator returns to the core of its message. That core are a bunch of pink eels that she refers to as worms that seem to play some role and be the object of desire of her father and the men in black. Worms is an innovative mini comics with a second level message that I guess I should pick up on, but I fail to at this point. Perhaps more will make sense in the next “issue.” For one thing, I like the experiment even if it’s not a real story and it’s supposed to be random. It plays with the medium.
I think a lot more could be done with the pocket size format visually. Remember those little booklet we got as kids where each page was an animated panel and when you flip them they would create this instantaneous animation? Well, I expect visual games like that and such experiments from artists working is such a format.
