Neither "Fox news Sunday" nor "Meet the Republicans" said even ONE WORD about the #NoKings protests across the country. NOT ONE. DAMN. WORD. Didn't even acknowledge there were protest AT ALL. If you didn't know there were protests, if you watched these shows, Saturday was like any other day. 😡

So far it's 43 B&W pages. It’s a mix of horror and comedy, perfect to accompany you during the spooky season. And if you liked it, we'd love to hear about that! Please talk about it, tell all your friends and social media. If we end up selling thousands, maybe I’ll draw a volume 2 ?
Three of the main characters of the comic. A strong black woman with an afro (she looks annoyed), a thin young blond girl (she looks scared), and a happy teen with long black hair.
They are on (and around) a luxuous couch in a parisian apartment.
