Gumball

GUMBALL

Gumball is a short comic about a character’s journey through seemingly impossible spaces. The whimsical story uses minimal lines and jagged corners to illustrate the quirky and unfamiliar environments in each panel. At the same time, a simple, ordinary object in the form of a gumball, is used to attract readers and set the story in a casual format.

The character Gumball has the ability to adapt to any environment. Throughout each panel he's presented with new obstacles and has to find ways to overcome them. Occasionally he encounters "villains" and "sidekicks" which either provoke or provide escape from difficult situations. Overall, the narrative is finding the will to overcome difficult situations using natural and learned abilities.

This comic was part of a project that involved illustrating narratives.
