Can you construct an entire story in just two sentences? That is what the author of Tiny Ghost tries to do on the website. With the help of images, mostly photographs, a whole story could be told in just two sentences.
Tiny Ghost is not your ordinary web comic, it do not even claim to be one. In fact it does not sees itself as a comic at all. I think itelf is having a hard time figuring out what it really is.
Each entry shows two pictures side by side and each picture has a one sentence caption. With just that, a whole story is been created. Each story so compelling that, I’ve lost a whole day of productivity in the office, I was going through each story on Tiny Ghosts.
Each two piece photos together with its caption comic is actually a jumping off point to create an entire story. Create entire worlds, characters and your own storyline in your head. If thinking is something you do often and something that isn’t to difficult for you to do, you wont be having any problem here.
It’s about what it feels like to be a monster/ghost/robot/toy/etc. but not the scary kind. It’s about being frightened of war and what you might turn into when you grow up if you aren’t careful. It’s about loss and longing and love and hope and being small and scared of a big world and not knowing your place in it and wanting to belong but always being on the outside and not being sure that God loves you but really hoping he does even though pretty much everyone else thinks you are a weirdo. Stuff like that.
That is the main theme of Tiny Ghosts, according to the author.
To some, Tiny Ghosts is nothing but a manic-depressive faux artsy more to the ‘emo’ side, but to me it’s simply amazing.
Tiny Ghosts comic is not funny, nor is it trying to be funny. It is just,.. beautiful.
