A great comic that speaks on a heavy, serious issue using beautiful, minimal drawings.

This is heartbreaking on so many levels. People can be so amazingly good and also so amazingly bad.
I hope that woman will be okay. Gah.

Beautiful and poignant. Thank you for that strong and clear message about an event in a young woman’s life. I’m absolutely moved.

I can’t help but see the stereotype here of the black man rapist. Is this a true story or conjured up? In any case, that struck me most of all.

Thanks so much for reading my story. This was a tough one to do.
Unfortunately, this really happened. Here is a news article about it: http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/crime/2013/01/telegraph-hill-sexual-assault-victim-praised-courageous-actions

I like this a lot. Hits home (really, because Marin County is home). It all makes sense to me.
