Description
This work series features a picaresque figure on an expedition seeking for "treasures" -- as symbolized by drug-capsules. The vernacular wildlife animals disclosed us the location which the figure explores -- Australia. The animated representation of the series might be GUAN Wei's attempt to structure a comic that narrates a "wry social commentary", specifically with the perceptions of "well-being" with different cultural eyes.
