story

Friends play many kinds of games with each other: cops and robbers, checkers, tag. The best of friends will make up their own games.

Todd and Kevin's friendship is built on such a game. However, the rules and premise are far from the typical childhood games. A dispute amongst the two splits them into very different directions: one sees the game for the cruel act that it is, while the other decides it must move to the next level.

Lindsay Hornsby

script / inks / lettering

Lindsay Hornsby had a burning desire to be a veterinarian up until the fourth grade, when she realized that drawing animals was more fun and generally less bloody. She graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with an M.F.A in Sequential Art with the intention of earning a living making funny books. Meanwhile, she puts food in her stomach by making websites work for people. Lindsay was born in the reasonably-sized town of Paducah, Kentucky where she currently hangs out. When not drawing, Lindsay can be found hiding behind a book of some sort or playing mind-rotting video games.
