Edited by Budjette Tan and Charis Loke, Sound: A Comics Anthology uses the broad theme of sound as a platform to showcase an appealing and diverse group of South Asian comics creators. Featuring creators from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore, the anthology offers stories that invoke the presence and impact of sound in our lives, from an evening of karaoke with a group of singing fantasy creatures to learning how to speak a Chinese grandmother’s dialect. In this 11-page excerpt from the story “The Cat Who Barks,” written and drawn by Indonesian cartoonist Bryan Arfiandy, a very serious student—his name is Grady and he loves good grades—encounters a cat that barks like a dog. Sound: A Comics Anthology, edited by Budjette Tan and Charis Loke, is out now from Difference Engine, an independent comics publisher based in Singapore.
