Acclaimed cartoonist Ok. Wroten’s newest graphic novel, Everybody Sux However You, affords a layered portrait of two queer teenage women as they juggle the complexities round romantic attraction, grief, and going to highschool in a small city. As highschool senior Carson Flynn struggles to deal with her mom’s demise, she bonds along with her buddy Ash over a mutual love of punk rock and a disdain for his or her classmates. Then their friendship begins to develop into one thing deeper and extra sophisticated. On this 14-page excerpt, Carson hangs out at Ash’s dwelling, bantering and joking with Ash and her mother, Julie, as the kids put together for an evening out. Everybody Sux However You by Ok. Wroten is out now from Henry Holt.
