Visual imagination and narrativisation of COVID-19: the case of Sonny Liew

Pages 101-112 | Published online: 13 Feb 2023
 

Notes

1 Liew won Best Writer/Artist, Best Publication Design, and Best U.S. Edition of International material-Asia in the 29th Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards.

2 See Charissa Yong’s (Citation2015) report in The Straits Times.

3 In the last panels, Doctor Duck uses the conjunctive adverbs “on the one hand … on the other hand” to compare SARS with COVID. In the next panel, he immediately proclaims that “I blame anthropomorphism” in response to Baffled Bunny’s question about “Why are there always so many hands?” There is also a tendency to anthropomorphize COVID-19 in the visual media. See Neda Ulaby’s (Citation2020) NPR report.
