Hey Comic Bookies, frequent VICE contributor Leslie Stein has a new book of comics out from Fantagraphics, and it's a really good one. Eye of the Majestic Creature Volume 2 continues Leslie’s tradition of telling self-contained stories about a thinly veiled stand-in for herself, named Larrybear.

The Battle of Consolação

Since June 2, when the price of public transportation in São Paulo, Brazil, rose from R$3 to R$3.20, the Free Pass Movement has initiated protests that have turned into a revolt. On June 13, protesters who had been marching peacefully from the Municipal Theater to Avenida Paulista, the city's main avenue, were attacked by military police. The attack took place in Rua da Consoloação in the center of the city; tear-gas bombs and rubber bullets were fired into the crowds.

A Hundred Thousand People Marched in São Paulo Monday

What began as a demonstration against the rising cost of public transportation in São Paulo has become a full-on national movement giving voice to anger about how the Brazilian government has been spending its tax money.

16-Year-Old White Swedish Rapper Yung Lean Doer Is Back with a Weird New Video

This video for Yung Lean Doer's "Hurt" is exactly how I picture the sugar-addled inner workings of the 16-year-old Swedish rapper's warped brain: digital flowers bloom, purple gummy bears march in place, Pokémon cards ascend to the heavens, and gallons of Arizona Iced Tea rest atop gleaming silver pillars.

The Wolfman

Eighty-year-old Werner Freund would rather be a wolf than a man. He's been raising and living with wild wolves in Germany for the last 30 years and considers them his family.

Nazis Were Once Tortured in the Heart of Kensington, London

Today, the London boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea are not places for riffraff tourists like you. It's for sultans, sheikhs, and oligarchs. But did you know it used to be home to a gargantuan torture facility? There the British subjected captured Nazis to Gulag-level torment and Guantanamo-style interrogation.

Happiness

I suppose it was in Korea where I learned to be alone, which was why during the second year at home, I went to the retreat house to return to aloneness there. The house was so cold on the first night that the bottle of olive oil in the kitchen cabinet congealed. Then came that incredible sadness again, swelling out of me and into the sun.

Molly Crabapple Sent Us Sketches from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s Pretrial Hearings at Gitmo

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s military commission at Guantanamo Bay is a guarded affair. It will be the trial of the century, the first attempt at bringing a high-level war-on-terror detainee to justice.

Cowboy Capitalists

For maverick entrepreneur Ian Cox, Africa is the last frontier of free enterprise. In 2012 he nabbed a lucrative United Nations contract to transport equipment from South Africa to South Sudan, a country on many countries' embargo list. The other problem: the journey north entails passing through countless checkpoints and dealing with bribe-happy officials and their nonsensical paperwork and regulations.
