The Pleasure of the Text

Toronto cartoonist Sami Alwani presents graphic short fictions that are slice-of-life meldings of comedy and tragedy. In selections addressing queerness, racial identity, and art, Alwani brings to life a disparate cast of characters that include a ghost in lockdown during COVID-19, a half-man/ half-dog hybrid, and a loquacious baby.
