The Complete Strangers In Paradise, Volume 1 by Terry Moore

Two women who have been friends and roommates for years—Katchoo, a sharp-witted, temperamental artist, and Francine, sunny and outgoing—find their close relationship stressed by love triangles, shifting desires, and secrets from Katchoo’s past; the collected early chapters move effortlessly between slice-of-life humor and intense noir-tinged drama as romance, jealousy, family intrigue and criminal danger intrude on their lives, revealing complex characters, surprising loyalties, and a slow-unfolding mystery beneath the everyday moments.
