Zanzibar Zebras

Zanzibar Zebras was the name I used for my standalone minicomics: between 2010 and 2012 I made several of these. With the exception of The Singularity, which was my earliest minicomic and different in format, all of them are all-ages, silent little stories that I sold physical copies of at local indy cons, black-and-white brush-inked comics copied onto colored paper and folded into unique shapes. You can read them all on my website.

This folder is a home for the original characters I made for those comics. These aren't active characters: their stories are pretty much finite and confined to the comics that they're from, but they were fun and so here they are.

The Singularity

The Singularity finally comes, but it's much more mundane than expected.

The mascot: the Zanzibar Zebra. He has no comic, but he has a story: he sailed away from mainland Africa on a raft to get away from his amorous lioness suitor.
