Nique Yager is a writer and
illustrator who makes her living doing
random things that have no bearing on civilization as a whole. But
her true calling is mockery; to make fun of others and have them feel
bad about themselves. In this, she truly excels. However, while she
can dish it, she cannot take it as her sensitive artist's "soul"* is
brittle and weak like an eggshell and if broken reveals the
unfertilized embryo of a baby chick in the form of so much white and
yellow goo.
Paradise Syndrome is a comic Nique started with a lazy, shiftless
friend who turned out to redefine lazy and shiftless. He dropped the
ball and she picked it up, only to lobby it out to Strawpixel, where
it now resides, cozy and secure in the hearth of Montreal based online
art and literature. While not autobiographical in nature, Paradise
Syndrome does echo a fundamental truth about the meaninglessness of
Nique's existence. (As well as your own). Enjoy.
*Nique does not believe in the existence of souls and is therefore way
ahead of her time and more avant-garde (pretentious) than you'll ever
be.
