Earthquake Strips

Strip-strip komik ini adalah hasil karya Coco Wang, seorang komik artis dari China.
Kesemua cerita-ceritanya datang dari keratan akhbar berikutan gempa bumi yang melanda China pada 12 May 08, yang kemudiannya di olah kepada bentuk strip komik.

Aku memang tak sangka langsung beberapa kerat lukisan ringkas mampu meng-convey intipati kejadian sebenar disebaliknya dan seterusnya menyentuh hati aku.

Highly recommended, oh...dan sila sediakan tisu!

it's ok lain kali baca pun ok, tapi kena baca. sungguh moving dan meaningful...kiranya macam mengingatkan kita yang (cliche tapi benar) there's still some good left in this world.

Hey there.This is my first comment in your blog. These comic strips left me teary eyed and stunned. Despite nuisances of life, we should be thankful God still gives us a chance to live aite.

Anyway, great writings. Can I link your blog to mine? Thanks =)

Nice Day for Malasian people!

Omg! This strip is amazing. And the story, I agreed, gave me watery eyes.

Surviving and not giving up. Not only for this case but applied to all things in our life.

It's true that our life's hard enough. But, keeping everything at pace, keep going, and surviving should be it.

p.s: nice blog! :)

kalau saya banyak dosa, tapi tiba di situasi mr tan. Dapat apa-apa bonus tak kat 'sana'?

haih. Sorry la soalan merapu. Komik macam ni memang memberi kesan lah.

Saya tak boleh baca dan tinggal kan sahaja.

Mesti terbawa-bawa.
