Uncomfortably Happily

When the gentler pace and stillness of the countryside replace the roar of the city but your editor keeps calling With gorgeously detailed yet minimal art cartoonist YeonSik Hong explores his move with his wife to a small house atop a rural mountain replacing the highrent hubbub of Seoul with the quiet murmur of the country. With their dog cats and chickens by their side the simple life and isolation they so desperately craved proves to present new anxieties. Hong paints a beautiful portrait of the Korean countryside changing seasons and the universal relationships humans have with each other as well as nature both of which are sometimes frustrating but always rewarding. Uncomfortably Happily is translated by American cartoonist Hellen Jo from the acclaimed Manhwa Today awardwinning Korean edition.
