Gumballs

Gumballs

Erin Nations (w & a)

Gumballs dispenses an array of bright, candy-colored short comics about Erin’s gender transition, anecdotal tales of growing up as a triplet, and fictional stories of a socially inept love-struck teenager named Tobias. The wide-ranging series is filled with single-page gag cartoons, visual diaries of everyday life, funny faux personal ads, and real-life horror stories from customers at his day job. Gumballs offers a variety of flavors that will surely delight anyone with a taste for candid self-reflection and observations of humanity. This book collects Gumballs #1-4, plus 32 pages of brand-new content!

Gumballs tips its hat to the classic alt-comic tradition of EightballOptic Nerve, and Box Office Poison, but speaks with a delightfully fresh voice for the modern age.
