A digital comic for Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint all drawn in digital pencil. The comic is monotone, using shades of dark gray. There are ten pages to the comic, each including verses from the poem "One Source of Bad Information" by Robert Bly. Page 1: An older Kim Dokja and a young Kim Dokja/Oldest Dream stand back-to-back. The older Dokja is staring into the distance with a blank, tired expression. He is wearing a dress shirt and pants with his signature white coat on top. The younger Dokja is smiling as he looks down at a book. He is wearing a baggy sweater. The poem verses read: "There's a boy in you about three years old who hasn't learned a thing for thirty thousand years. Sometimes it's a girl."
Page 2: A white background fades into black. A series of images is visible. In black pencil, a young Dokja covers his ears and closes his eyes shut as speech bubbles of shouts surround him. He is wearing a baggy sweater and a shirt, and his hands are covered in bandages. In the next scene we see his eyes wide open in horror, tears streaming down. Lastly, in gray pencil, we see: a hand holding a bloody knife, and a larger pair of hands caressing a small hand. They are all trembling. The poem continues: "This child had to make up its mind how to save you from death."
Page 3: A black background fades gradually into white. In white pencil, we see three images: a young Dokja hugging a blanket around him, a hand holding up a microphone surrounded by eyes gazing down at it, and a tray of untouched food. The poem reads: "He said things like: "Stay home. Avoid elevators. Eat only elk."
Page 4: A white background with a slight gray tint at the center, where we see a scene from an office. An older Dokja sits in a cubicle, wearing a dress shirt and typing on a laptop. In the background, we see Yoo Sangah sitting near him. The poem reads: "You live with this child but you don't know it."
Page 5: On a white background, three scenes are visible. The older Dokja enters his home, dressed in a business suit and carrying a bag around his shoulder. In the next scene, a younger Dokja walks inside, the bag hanging on a hook next to him. In the last scene, young Dokja is curled up in bed in his blanket and is staring at his phone. The poem reads: "You're in the office, yes, but live with this boy at night."
Page 6: A close-up of the last scene from Page 5: Young Dokja is staring at his phone as he lies in bed, blanket curled around him. In the close-up we can see that his eyes are bright and full of little stars as he looks at his phone. The poem reads: "He's uninformed, but he does want to save your life."
Page 7: On a white background, we see a worn-out notebook. The pages are slightly curled and covered in rough sketches and doodles. The sketches include Yoo Joonghyuk's sword and a large doodle of his signature black coat. The rest of the pages are filled with scribbles of character names from Ways of Survival. The poem continues: "And he has."
Page 8: On a white background, two scenes are visible. First, a young Dokja holds an older Dokja's hand and is trying to drag him towards something on the right. The older Dokja is wearing his business attire, and his hand is limp in the younger child's grip. The young Dokja is wearing a baggy sweater. In the second scene, an Older Dokja wearing his dress shirt and white coat stands with his hands in his pockets. Yoo Joonghyuk is standing at the other end of the page, looking down at him with his hands in his pockets. Joonghyuk is wearing his black coat. No expressions are visible on any of the characters in this scene. The poem reads: "Because of this boy you survived a lot."
Page 9: On a white background, a black rectangle is visible. The outline of young Dokja is drawn in white pencil on top of this black rectangle, sitting on a window ledge looking outside. Curtains billow around him. As his legs dangle below the black window, they are drawn in black pencil on the white background. At the bottom of the page, a search bar is visible. It contains the Korean phrase: "살아 남는 방법". The phrase roughly translates to: "ways to survive". The poem reads: "He's got six big ideas. Five don't work."
Final Page (Page 10): A white background fades into black. At the bottom of the page the inside of a subway cart is visible. A young Dokja is sitting with his knees on the seats, looking out the window. Next to him, an older Dokja sits with his head in his hands. Outside the window stars and galaxies are visible. The final line of the poem reads: "Right now he's repeating them to you." End of comic. /END ID
