''Jack'' is a furry webcomic by David Hopkins. It is set in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals.〔http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/10/31/1886697/jack-escorts-souls-into-afterlife.html〕 ''Jack'' focuses on its title character, a wizened green rabbit who lives in Hell. He is the embodiment of the deadly sin wrath, whose punishment is being the Grim Reaper. In life, the unfairness of some deaths, particularly towards the ones he loved, made him angry. In his position as Grim Reaper, he now has to witness more death, the cause of his wrath. Jack attempts to remember the sins he did in life in order to be forgiven for them. This is hard for him as his other punishment is having no memory of his life on Earth. ''Jack'' was joint winner for the "Best Dramatic Comic" award at the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2004 Winners and Nominees )〕 ==Overview== ''Jack'' covers subjects related to the attitude persons can exhibit in life, as well as its consequences to them and to the surrounding people. Frequent features are disease, rape, murder, suicide, bereavement and redemption. The comic is divided into a number of arcs (subplots) of varying length. Artwork style and presence of color differ from arc to arc. Arcs take place on Hell, Earth, Heaven and Purgatory. Arcs set on Earth take place during different, not always consecutive, time periods. In Heaven and Hell there is no concept of time. The eyes of characters symbolize their status in the ''Jack'' universe: sins have no pupils; living souls and angels have full pupils; the souls of deceased persons have "pin-prick" eyes as long as they do not recognize their sins. ''Jack'' is based on Christian tradition, but the world and its rules are inconsistent with typical Christian views. The angels are the forces of good, and the sins are evil personified. Many of Hell's denizens enjoy inflicting pain on one another. However, there is confusion at times, with people who were good in life end up going to Hell. The unfairness of the fates of many of these people, and the observations of Jack on the unfairness of life, are central themes to the comic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack (webcomic)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
