Incomodo by Andre Letria


A familiar situation - a fly buzzing above someone's head - is depicted with humor and surprise in this fold-out book. The format is one long piece of heavyweight paper, folded into six equal segments, and the color palette is limited to green, grey, and cream. With a few simple changes to the man's face, a growing irritation with the noise of the fly is apparent. After flipping the sixth panel to continue the story, the man notices a frog's tongue reaching above his head. It is not until the page is turned (or the panels are fully opened) that a completely unexpected plot twist takes place, and the nuisance continues in a new way.
