Mnemonic comic for 左

Zapatista Zebra and the communist teamed up for once to sabotage capitalism. They start by trying to cut a steel beam using scissors inside of the observatory's living room.

The communist, a female member of the Chinese Communist Party in the 1950s is depicted wearing a plain, practical, olive green Zhongshan suit symbolizing equality and dedication to the new socialist state and a res scarf. The individual’s expression is resolute, embodying a spirit of idealism and revolutionary purpose. Their appearance is modest and unadorned.

The brave anthropomorphic zapatista zebra stands tall and defiant, his black-and-white stripes marked by the dust of long marches. A vivid red bandana covers his mouth, its color striking against his monochrome fur — a symbol of resistance and solidarity. His eyes are fierce and determined, and across his chest he carries simple gear for the struggle. Despite his animal form, his stance radiates purpose and courage — a freedom fighter with the heart of a revolutionary.

An H steel beam has a distinctive shape resembling a capital “H,” with wide flanges connected by a thick, straight web. Its heavy, symmetrical form gives it immense strength and stability, ideal for supporting massive loads in buildings and bridges. The smooth, gray steel surface catches light along its edges, emphasizing its industrial precision and engineered purpose.

The living room in the observatory blends scientific wonder with cozy comfort. A massive telescope dominates the center of the room, its polished metal frame aimed toward the wide, curved windows that open to a breathtaking view of the night sky. Around it, soft armchairs, a low coffee table stacked with star charts, and warm floor lamps create an inviting contrast to the gleaming equipment. Bookshelves lined with astronomy texts and a softly crackling fireplace give the space a lived-in warmth — a perfect balance between exploration and repose.
