Radiator Comics

Description

Uncle is a comic about a movie about a story about a memory. The story follows a writer-director, Nadine Zhou, who “recreates” a trip with her uncle that never happened. The story jumps between multiple timelines, including Nadine’s memories, her uncle’s stories, film production, and even the movie itself.

Amy lays out a simple short story that is made complicated through its layering of fact, fiction, memories, rumors, and recreation. Sweet sentiments, unchecked emotions, and snarky gossip swirl like low-hanging clouds that you could reach up and touch.
