#repost @woshibai @woshibaii 我是白 Woshibai (Shanghai, China). Snippet from 20 km/hr, an edition which is expected in Spring 2023 from @drawnandquarterly. Felines are not the major theme of this underground comic, but I appreciate this representation of a tiger.

"Sound Experiment with Hylarana daunchina" is based on Shen Piji’s everyday life experience. Soon after moving to Wutong Mountain, the artist started to often hear the croaking of all kinds of frogs, many of which frequently visited them. After a while, some even settled in their courtyard. One species among the frogs has a rich, variable, and pleasant sounds. With a dark brown color, the frog has a flat head and slick skins on the back covered with black stripes. It shows no fear of humans and would even sing along when people play the qin, blowing the vocal sacs on both sides of its throat into small drums. He asked his friends about the frog and learned its name – Hylarana daunchina. He also discovered a legend about the frog when looking up the materials: it is said that Li Bai, the poet in the Tang Dynasty who is also known as the Immortal of Poetry, once sojourned at Wannian Temple for months. When he listened to Zen Master Guang Jun playing the qin beside Baishui Pond, he often saw a young girl dressed in cyan also listening aside. The girl was the incarnation of Hylarana daunchina. For the frog often listening to Zen Master Guang Jun’s music, its croaking became sounding like the qin. Such a legend naturally excited musicians like Shen Piji, who has developed a stronger interest in the Hylarana daunchina. After a period of observation and research, the artist arranged five clay water tanks of varied sizes in a shallow pond in his courtyard to attract more frogs to settle there.
When playing the qin, Shen Piji founded that it was more “natural” to define the ragged rhythms through dialogues with frogs. In this way, the beats and rhythms produced will be more vivid. The artist thus claims himself as being “apprenticed to frogs.” He thinks that that frequency of the guqin might have resonated with the sounds of Hylarana daunchina, which made him occur like a frog to the species.
