PeePee PooPoo #1, by Caroline Cash
Four issues into the series and we finally get PeePee PooPoo #1! Was it time travel, or a marketing move? The world may never know!
In this issue: Caroline discovers a fresh start is surprisingly hard to make in “Ah, Philly.” Romance blossoms in “First Date,” a classic Alison Bechdel comic gets an update in “Femme and Butch,” and a night out turns complicated in “Stoned Again.” Caroline Cash’s gay, modern take on the ‘60s underground comic continues to make readers say “hell yeah.”
- The previous issues of PeePee PooPoo (#69, #420, and #80085) won the 2024 Eisner Award for Best Limited Series
Sunflowers, by Keezy Young
An autobiographical comic about one person’s experience living with bipolar I disorder. From mania to depression to the balance beam of the everyday, Sunflowers explores the human complexity of an often misunderstood disorder with honesty and vulnerability.
