  1. 1. Same Difference & Other Stories

    A linked collection of short graphic stories that quietly examines the small, awkward, and tender moments of contemporary life—romantic missteps, family tensions, questions of identity and belonging—with a mix of humor and melancholy; spare, expressive black-and-white artwork and economical storytelling illuminate how ordinary interactions reveal longing, miscommunication, and the complicated warmth of human connection.
