The Keluarga Cable Ship Company​

​

More than 99 percent of intercontinental telecommunications, including internet traffic, is carried by fibre-optic cables running along the bed of the world’s seas. Indeed, this digital comic is likely coming to you through the oceans. This vast and delicate network, the bedrock of modern life and its burgeoning technologies, is maintained by a small fleet of repair ships that keeps the world online.

​

Past and present collide when a software engineer arrives on one such ship, where his father works. Old wounds are torn open - can this connection be repaired?

​

This continuous scroll comic unfolds across three separate but interlinked channels of action. The freeflow form invites readers to approach the story in different ways, separately, one by one, top down, or all at once.

 

Made for the 2025 LDComics Online Fair, and will be available to purchase in July.
