We’d like to introduce you to Frank Owen, the frustrated hero of our graphic novel, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. He’s a talented artist working by the hour as a house-painter (1/7)🧵
He lives in a tiny top-floor flat with his wife and child, in a fictional British town called Mugsborough. The year is 1910, and like most working families, the Owens struggle and stretch to make ends meet (2/7)
Owen’s clever and funny, and would be popular at work, if it wasn’t for the way he goes on and on about politics in a way that makes people feel uncomfortable - as though it’s their own fault that their lives are so hard (3/7)
