18:12 | Neighbourhood Press | Anthology, Comic Strip: digital or print | All ages | Amy Ge | 18:12 was published as part of Neighbourhood Press' West Coast Comic Anthology, collected with the loose theme of 'place'. 18:12 came about as I was thinking of the local park near my childhood home in Perth, and the endless afternoons I spent alone just hanging from the monkey bars or on the swing set or just lying in the grass doing nothing much at all. That small suburban park was always so quiet and my neighbourhood was so safe - maybe times were different then, as I was just 7 or 8 when I started to venture to the park alone. As carefree as I was though, once the sunset dimmed and the first few buzzes of mosquitoes started humming, I always began to make my way back home. | https://www.neighbourhoodpress.net/shop/west-coast-comic-anthology | 2021-12-14 16:22:36 |
