On a short layover in Shanghai, Sunny visits her busy Aunt, Uncle and Grandpa who she hasn’t seen in almost twenty years- is this trip a mistake?

'Layover' is another opportunity to marvel at the textures and effects of Lis Xu's wonderful, emotionally resonant pencil work.

6. JOY

Terrifyingly good at romanticizing the mundane aspects of life. Interesting protagonist to follow considering the current tech landscape, but I empathized with the general themes of burnout and figuring out how to Live with what you’ve got. It’s a strange kind of wish fulfillment comic to me

In order to focus solely on a crunch deadline, Mari creates a robot called JOY to take on her life tasks in the hope of better negotiating the demands of capitalism and creativity.
JOY is a beautifully understated, zeitgeist-capturing, new 125-page comic from @apple-toast.bsky.social.

syringe, nozmo 🐰
new nozmo... do i need to say anything else... another work at the thrilling intersection of "incredibly skilled" + "incredibly self-indulgent" matched with a great sense of humor, and we're all better for it! romcom + med horror is a beautiful genre combination they pull of so well

nyoz @nozmo.bsky.social · 15d

syringe is out through @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social today... pick it up if you want to see a comic about... guys being guys? sorry that's a lie. pick it up if you want to see someone torn to pieces. WAIT!! no i swear i didn't mean that... honestly...

hey there! we're halfway through the @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social !
Here's Milo the second main character from my comic, and sketches demonstrating that i did, in fact, restrain myself in the forehead department with him.

Miło, one of the main characters from my comic standing there, next to him are several pictures showing different stages of his life:
- at the bottom baby milo sitting on his uncle's lap fishing
-in the middle ID pictures from the time Milo had a lot of piercings and a pointy collar
- at the top, he s taking a a selfie, with his boyfriend Bug in the background eating an ice cream cone.

a selectiom of Milo sketches i drew early in the comic making.

This comic devastated me and I think everyone should read it. I wish I knew how to read Korean bc I'm sure it hits even harder in the original language.
