RED BUTTON COMICS (138) (SKY BOMB)

Who is talking about the ancient myth of Babel Tower?

The story is not a myth, but a reality.

Look !

Humans have built the Tower in the Sky, not on Earth.

The Tower has already ruined the whole Sky 

and reduced it to ashes. 

Now, the Tower bombards the Earth with bio-chemical weapons.  

It was not my intention to make the illustration for MEMO (above) look like smog. Nevertheless, it looks like smog now, after my raising the issue of smog for today's RED BUTTON●COMICS. The smog in Seoul came from China. Korean newspapers reported that it usually takes around 6 hours for the smog to travel from Beijing to Seoul.  

Seen out of the window in my apartment, 

the smog terrorized me.  

Even though it was in daytime, 

the Sun was buried somewhere, 

and the Sky was terminated. 

My vision was strictly limited within a short distance. 

The situation in Beijing was much worse. According to Korean newspapers, it was hard for anyone in the City to see others standing 10 meters away.  In many places, the traffic was paralysed and the governmental bodies began blocking traffic in some main roads. Many schools were closed. 

In the midst of these chaotic situations, an article of today's newspaper, which described the worst smog in Harbin, the tenth most populous city in China, made me smile a sour smile. The exaggerative title of the article read, "I couldn't see the face of my lover walking with me hand in hand."  It is clear China came to be one of the last sacrifices placed on the high altar of Ant Utopian Order.

누가 바벨탑의 전설에 대해 이야기하는가?
그 이야기는 전설이 아니라 현실이다.
보라 !
인간들은 바벨탑을 땅 위가 아니라 하늘에 세웠다.
바벨탑은 온 하늘을 폐허로 만들었고
하늘은 이제 잿더미가 되어 버렸다.
이제, 그 탑은 생화학무기로 대지를 초토화시키고 있다.
