Strawberry Milkshake by Cate Wurtz

Strawberry Milkshake is a short and evocative comic about gaslighting, domestic abuse, and the ways that not being believed can warp your sense of reality.

The framing between sections had this strange tonal dissonance with the rest of the comic in a way that built a sense of dread even before it was clear what’s going on.

CW for gaslighting, body horror, blood, self harm, domestic abuse.
