Episodes (graphic novel)
A smart-mouthed kid provokes the wrong flatmate, a misguided teen gets schooled by her crush and a former child star struggles to escape his past. Seductive advertising fantasies collide headfirst with everyday life in this delicately interwoven tale of identity, desire and coming of age – even in adulthood.
A thrillingly observed critique of our media-obsessed society.
“Episodes is funny, sad and strange — in the way that so much of the ordinary and familiar is strange. Like a word you say over and over until its oddness is revealed.”
— Sharon Murdoch, three-time winner NZ Cartoonist of the Year
