Creating Origami Comics is my answer to the question "[why] do we still need paper comics"?
I love comics as a storytelling art form and - although I also enjoy and appreciate digital comics - I believe there's just something special about holding a comic and physically interacting with it as you read from panel to panel.
Origami Comics are designed as different folded paper shapes to celebrate printed comics as tactile art... especially when the story relates to the shape and the reading process involves unfolding, turning, opening, or otherwise physically interacting with the comic while reading.
A cut-and-folded comic adaptation of the famous "duel in rhyme" from Act 1, Scene 4 of Edmond Rostand's heroic comedy. The form of this comic echoes that of a poetic ballad: the last page is cut longer than the others so the final panel is repeatedly read as the 'refrain' to preceding pages/stanzas.
"Wong has discovered something... a fascinating little avenue in the way of the origami comic, a fun and potentially fascinating reprieve for the world of print cartooning"
Brian Heater, The Daily Cross Hatch
"My favorite minicomic acquisitions [of 2009 MoCCA Arts Festival] were Ken Wong's origami comics. three-dimensional paper creations that still told a story."

"[One of" five awesome comics I found at New York Comic Con... Oh, I love this -- Ken, specializes in 'origami comics' that take some effort to read. This one tells the classic story of Pandora's Box... and it's folded into a box! You have to lift the lid to find out what's inside! Even if the story and art didn't impress me (which they did), he'd still get an 'A' for effort."
