Propaganda for fun and paranoia

There's a fabulous article over on Sleep is For the Weak about the comics of North Korea, which are apparently chock-full of propaganda-y goodness. (In The Great General Mighty Wing, pictured right, a hard-working civilization of bees is forced to simultaneously fight off attacks from encroaching ant and spider armies.) The plot summaries and images are fascinating, and offer readers a glimpse of a rarely-seen art form. It's well worth checking out.
