Fear Made Me. by oneneck
So I am pillaging and plundering from the site of our official contributing illustrator, One Neck, OneNeckHatesYou.com, pulling out pieces from his extensive library of twisted and heart-twisting comics to emphasize here on Open. I can’t stop reading his work, but this one hit me most this morning, so there you go. The funny thing is, just yesterday I was thinking about fear, and the crappy stuff it makes us do, and the great lengths we’ll go to to wrap other explanations around the fact that we’re afraid. We make up whole stories and excuses instead of saying we we’re scared, because it’s an embarassing and vulnerable thing… Being scared makes you fear that people will find out that yer scared. It can echo through your brain and make you say and do all kinds of stupid things. Fear is, this comic suggests, behind most every great bad move in our interpersonal interactions. One Neck may be disturbed, but he knows and names a scary and irritating truth about fear, and so his most disturbing images resonnate with this sad social critique.
