Quarterly Stories is an autobiographical comic about life, love, loss, and depression. Ultimately, it’s about the search for meaning in one’s life. Independent Comics had a long history of serialized confessional autobio floppies that would sometimes reveal things about the human condition that we are afraid to touch on, and that’s the goal and hope for this comic, to bring back that form of storytelling. I’m also lettering and inking everything in this work by hand, because I’ve gotten to a point where that’s an enjoyable process for me. I hope it is for you guys as well!
