The Tarot Man

This is a mini-comic made for Dog City #3.

It's a story about a penguin who feels troubled after getting a random card. The story was also created using the bibliomancy method (plus a tarot book), because Iris was out of ideas at the time, and didn't want to draw more pigs.

In the words of comics critic Rob Clough, "Iris Yan has emerged as one of my favorite CCS cartoonists, thanks mostly to her witty authorial voice. The Tarot Man makes use of her preference of using animals as characters to tell the story of a penguin with a rigidly-defined life. One day, he gets a card in the mail of a tower being destroyed by lightning: the Tarot card The Tower. This is a symbol of massive change and upheaval but also the possibility of real transformation. The story features him loosening up, allowing him to break out of the prison of his habits and meeting someone. It's a story about how love and transformation often go hand in hand."
