According to the author, Tiny Ghosts is not intended to be funny, nor is is meant to be interpreted as a cartoon. According to the FAQ, the central idea that occurred to this intriguing anonymous author was that he would try and tell stories in just two sentences, and eventually he decided to stick photos along. The whole point of these non-sequitur non-comic strip is nothing other tham make statements, hopefully thought-provoking ones. And from what I’ve seen thus far, it sure seems to work!

I’ve been browsing through the Tiny Ghosts archive (which features over 130 strips to date) and I was quite pleasantly surprised, so I figured I’d encourage you to take a look. I’ll leave you with a couple of samples and a quotation from the author explaining what this webstrip is really all about:

“It’s about what it feels like to be a monster/ghost/robot/toy/etc. but not the scary kind. It’s about being frightened of war and what you might turn into when you grow up if you aren’t careful. It’s about loss and longing and love and hope and being small and scared of a big world and not knowing your place in it and wanting to belong but always being on the outside and not being sure that God loves you but really hoping he does even though pretty much everyone else thinks you are a weirdo. Stuff like that. ”
