Rough Translation of A Week of Kindness by Mark Ernst


A Week of Kindness is a strange work that leaves a lot of context as to what is happening to the reader. When reading, I thought that it was about the different kindnesses the different people were giving to the chicken or chicken-men, only to receive death or a horrible fate in return that seems to be not the doing of the chickens or the chicken-men.

We are also shown the chicken-men and other monster-like men later in the comic experimenting and being cruel to human women. So possibly there is a twist and the chicken-men do know why the women are being murdered or are the cause of their death?  We are also shown another picture of a human women hanging one of the chicken-men, which might imply that the "kindness" so to speak is given back at times. 

Whatever the true definition, the work has a good sense of checks and balances.  In which whenever something happens to one character, you will usually see them in the next panel either alive or not.
