Essex County - 5

Here are some more pics from the comic Essex County by Jeff Lemire. It is both written and illustrated by Jeff Lemire. the stories are actually grounded by reality and there is nothing too extraordinary. Frankly, the stories can get a little bit depressing at times.

In this picture we can see that a little kid, probably a boy, is walking alongside some fences and some electric posts. it also seems like the little boy has a cape flying on his shoulder. the ground seems like it is covered in snow and it also seems like it is snowing pretty heavily while the child is walking along the path. this means that the child either has to go to the place he is going at that particular time. but, however, if it was urgent, the child would have been seen running along the path, but from the footsteps it seems like this particular child was not running at all. so, it kind of goes on to indicate that this little child does not care about his health and if it is raining or snowing or not.

this is a simple pictures of a wheat field. this indicates that the particular small story in this comic short revolves around a farmer of some sort.again, nothing too out of the ordinary over here.

we can see a church in this particular picture. there are trees alongside the church. if we observe the trees properly, we can see that the leaves of the tree have fallen a lot and only a handful of leaves can be seen on the trees, this further goes on to confirm that the weather is not a suitable weather for leaves to grow on trees. a car can be seen in the backside of the church.

here we can see that the kid who was wearing a superhero cape is busy doing some really mundane tasks. this goes on to show the harshness of life. you might have the urges to become a superhero inside your heart, but, you are bound by your circumstances and the reality and the upbringing of your life. the person that wants to be a hero has to work on farms and carry bags of seeds just to make ends meet.

the kid also seems to have a small mask on his face. he is still working but he has his cape and mask with him. in this exact particular picture, we can see that the little boy is looking to the sun setting on the horizon. the sun is going to set behind the farm. the tiny little superhero has to go to study for his school and go to sleep. life can be mundane from time to time, it is actually up to us to make our life as interesting as we can possibly make it to be.
