elan.school is a harrowing webcomic now in 67 installments (the latest posted August 27) by a survivor of the “Elan School”, a reform school in the woods of Poland Springs, Maine. The school, which operated from 1970 to 2011 when it was shut down, used cult methods, forcing kids to scream insults at each other hours a day, remain expressionless while being insulted, box each other in a ring, and confine others to sit in the corner. Communication with family was closely supervised to keep the abuse hidden. The webcomic may have started in late 2018 to judge from author “Joe Nobody”‘s Patreon, but has been garnering attention on Reddit
