Singaporean cartoonist Weng Pixin delicately explores strained relationships with a kind of hopefulness while acknowledging their inevitable collapse. Her stories are like a series of snapshots in a photo album or the brightest highlights from an Instagram profile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGorgeous image follows gorgeous image in a delicate quest to find connection. A night out turns into a chance encounter that is at first ecstatic and then quickly descends into awkwardness. A round of \"he loves me, he loves me not\" becomes a way of reading every action taken by a distant love interest. A couple find themselves in an artificially beautiful landscape, but the relationship can't survive their difference of opinion on the illusion of its beauty. In \u003ci\u003eSweet Time\u003c\/i\u003e, thick and bold strokes of color mingle with delicate lines. Weng combines colorful realism with a gentle wit and introspection, crafting infinitely relatable stories of everyday life and love now.","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636658458865,"sku":"9781770465213","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781770465213_p0.jpg?v=1788293395","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770465213","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
