The God of Arepo

[sadoeuphemist]

Back in 2018, I wrote a short story in response to this writing prompt, about a farmer and the god he befriends. It was fairly popular on tumblr, other people added on to it.

Today, the entire story has been adapted into a comic by the talented Reimena Yee, and she has it available to purchase at the Shortbox Comics Fair for the month of October, with the proceeds being donated to charity!

The comic is available at the link below, along with further details about the charities involved.

Ouch... that last part is soul-killingly bleak.

I hope the farmer finds another kind of fulfillment.

If you want to know how the story ends, you can still find it on tumblr: https://writing-prompt-s.tumblr.com/post/172811507450/threefeline-corancoranthemagicalman

I want to impress, though, I think the comic is a terrific adaptation and totally surpasses the original.

No way, that was you? Oh man, I loved the original back in the day. Well done on the comic!

There's two money numbers for each comic. The big one is the price.

What is the smaller one?

Do you mean the 52p at the bottom? That means it's 52 pages long.

As a huge nerd about all things wordplay, I very much appreciate the reference to the Sator Square here, and invite any curious readers to follow that link.

"The farmer Arepo works his wheels with care..."

Sounds like this god has some self esteem issues.
