Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A man stands beside a bench where a woman is sitting. He asks, "What are you doing?" Panel 2: The woman, seated with her hands clasped, replies, "I'm having fun inside my head." Panel 3: The man, now looking intrigued, asks, "Can I join you?" The woman responds simply, "Yes." Panel 4: The man sits beside the woman on the bench, both looking serene as a single cloud floats in the sky.

This comic strip from 2016 feels like an ancient artifact to us.

There are days when looking at something you’ve created feels like staring too long at your own reflection under unforgiving fluorescent lights, full of flaws and imperfections. And yet – despite its flaws – there’s something in this comic that still speaks to us in a way that makes us think that maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.

And hey, if you like it, too, there are a few signed prints left in our shop!

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A woman approaches a tall tree in a grassy landscape, saying, "Oh wise and gentle giant. Tell me a story." The tree stands serenely under a bright blue sky. Panel 2: The tree replies, "Once, there was a species called humans who destroyed the planet and all living things." The scene remains peaceful but contrasts with the harsh story. Panel 3: The tree continues, "One day, a particular twat came up to a tree asking for a story." The woman looks up at the tree, her expression unchanging. Panel 4: The woman breaks the fourth wayll, thinking, "That last part seems unnecessary," as the tree stands motionless, towering above her in silence.
