Ken Foo’s Tragic Story
Today, I have witness one of the saddest comic/manga ever written about the loss of a love, family, trust and one’s mental health… It also demostrate how excessive violence and derail a child.
The comic named “The True Story Of kenfoo: The Childhood Years ” came in 11 parts, starting from a carefree children point of view style to end in an epic Romeo and Juliet style ending that almost made me drip a few tears…
In the story it’s a quest of kenfoo looking for love and understanding. And his locksmith parents finding him a disgrace and not being able to accept his wonderful abilities as an artist, leading/pushing to him to his ultimate mistake or can I call it his bravest endeavour.
It was a good read, and if it turns out to be a true story, then Kenfoo’s life, at least the childhood, is f-up… literally… I’m glad he managed to find some identification in his teenage years and gain some confidents.
You can read this comics strip on his website, www.kenfoo.com, which also have a few of his works featured, that 80’s boy have so much potential also.
Before you read this please note that the comic strip is rated M18+ by the artist himself, if you choose to read it, don’t be offended.
The first episode: below with a note from Kenfoo.
Over the years, many people have asked me how I grew up to become the dysfunctional person that I am. I always tell them they’re being ridiculous if not mad. Because, you see, I’m perfectly normal. It’s everyone else that’s crazy. Here, let me tell you a little story about myself to illustrate my point. This, is another true story of me.
