Dark in concept but kind of cheerfully drawn. Wordless black and white story of a family that goes into the woods. And loses a young boy. And finds a young girl apparently raised by wolves. And then we see her in the outer world for awhile. Clear moving and interesting though short.

Odd and sad. I'm not sure what the through-plot of this one was, or what it's trying to say, if it's trying to say anything, but it's well done. And odd.

A short, wordless, illustrated tale that effortlessly speaks volumes. Available in full here - https://www.verabee.com/wolf

Told entirely without words, this online comic is about a young, feral girl raised by the family of her playmate. She & her playmate didn't get too much time to play together, however, because her wolf family ate him. His family then takes her in as their own. After going through the school system, she tries to make her way in the world, but has a hard time fitting in. The real world is filled with adults who act like animals.

Both funny and sad, this story impressed me with its wordless narrative. The art style is cartoony, which gives the heavy subject matter a lighter feel. I would say it's more adult than YA because of the subject matter in a few of the panels.

I read Anya's Ghost recently and absolutely loved it, so I looked to see if Vera Brosgol has written anything else and came upon this free short graphic novel that's online and enjoyed it! There are no words and it takes 15 minutes or less to read it so its super short. But in that short time it was really sad and leaves you with a message. If you liked Anya's Ghost, you should check this one out!

Wow this was dark, especially if you know the author from their middle grade children's books. This is a wordless commentary on the horrors of our modern world showing that it is difficult sometimes to tell the difference between wild beasts and 'civilized' society.

An incredibly powerful, wordless, short web-comic. Quite distrubing when you take a second to think about it. A quick, but very good read.
