Scathing yes. The scathe and mordancy are particularly notable in the Laowai Comics oeuvre. By eschewing punchlines or demonstrable humour, the artist subverts our notions of a second culture means of consciousness. We’re left disorientated and with more questions than we started with – there’s hardly a need to point out the parallels to the exigencies of the China expat superego. Though Dostoyevsky concerned himself with the psychological perils of an unnatural state of social living, I think with “An AZN In China” the artist had in mind the works of Kafka.

….Or it could be that LCG has been finding it hard to pick up Chinese girls despite his Dashan levels of Chinese language competence?

This comic providing him with a visceral opportunity to publicly right past wrongs.

What I enjoyed was the scathing portrayal of the “modern male.”

This comic has a “synesthetic” approach to punchlines.
