Hobo Lobois a gorgeous, three-dimensional webcomic about the Pied Piper

Innovation is n’t always a good thing in comics ; just look at the atrocity that is the move comedian . But sometimes , a little engineering science can have a surprising and even old - fashioned burden . Hobo Lobo of Hamelin is a witty retelling of “ The Pied Piper , ” and the side scroll effect create the stamp that you ’re watching the whole thing played inside a diorama . This here ’s something particular .

Stevan Živadinović ’s Hobo Lobo is a delightful read even without its technical tricks . The otherwise picturesque town of Hamelin is well over by coked - up crumb , which threaten the re - election campaign of the Fascist - Calvinist Mayor Dick Mayor . Then the mysterious Hobo Lobo , professional rebirth man , rolls into town and set about giving harmonica moral , smelt metallic element , and doing the townspeople ’s taxation . It ’s only a matter of time before the mayor contracts the talented floater to free the village of its rodent trouble .

But the visuals here really are a goody . This is n’t a 3D comic as in “ put on your 3D glasses and watch uncanny rats derail out at you . ” It ’s a digital experience that contribute the illusion that you ’re expect inside a story box . As you scroll through the mirthful , scenes and characters move around in a agency that looks far more mechanical than digital , and although Živadinović occasionally uses animation in his storytelling , it complement rather than overwhelms the rest of the art . It helps that he has a great sense of ocular spoken language that swings from snarky to touching to surreally macabre in just a few pages .
