The Smothering is an ongoing weekly webcomic. Two pages are posted every Sunday on Instagram (in portuguese). Chapter I was written and drawn between January 10th and August 1st, 2021.
The book follows the heir of a small brick-factory, Firmitas, located on the remote countryside. Still a teenager, the Heir navigates the complex web of resentment, doubt and aspiration that their low-tier aristocratic family weaved upon the landscape, imposing their presence on its inhabitants since some generations ago. Meanwhile, the ever more aggravated workers of the factory, feeling restless by the rumors of new machines coming to furnish the factory, begin to act suspiciously.
