Fleep is the story of Jimmy Yee, who enters a phone booth and blacks out. He wakes up to discover that the booth is encased in concrete.Using nothing but the contents of his pockets, a Pay Phone, and his skills in mathematics, Jimmy must deduce how he got there, and how to escape, before he runs out of air.This comic strip by Jason Shiga was originally published in the newspaper Asian Week, but was cancelled two-thirds into its run. Shiga has since published the complete story on his website: it can be read here. | |

Tomato in the Mirror: After carefully working through what he's deduced and realizing that he's in a collapsed embassy, mostly likely the result of a terrorist attack and a bomb, Jimmy realizes that it wasn't bad luck or coincidental timing: it was his phone call that triggered the bomb in the American embassy. He was the terrorist. | |

Amnesiac Resonance: Despite not remembering anything of the time in between entering the phone booth to call Jenny and waking up trapped, Jimmy knows a surprising amount about the logistics of bombing an embassy. It makes sense, as he'd become a terrorist in the intervening years. | |
