Strays

An enigmatic parable of the modern city, where strangers can become friends and vice versa

A young man flees a disaster at home and comes to live in the city with his sister. He makes ends meet by taking a job as a deliveryman — only to encounter a flood of old friends and past acquaintances on his daily route . . .

At first elated by the company of these waifs and strays, eventually their own desperation for work begins to trouble his conscience — but what happens when you can't deliver help to everyone?

Chris W. Kim's distinctively detailed graphic style embodies an elusively disquieting parable of modern isolation and the ties that bind — or fail to bind — society together.
