To The Last Gram is a beautiful portrayal of an important issue that will resonate with those who have a monstrous relationship with food.

I really love the metaphor of seeing her body as a patchwork quilt that is made up of all parts of her journey.

All the responses to Shreya Davies and Vanessa Wong’s heart-wrenching yet hopeful comic is a reminder that the hardest journeys are often the least visible, and that we can afford to hold each other a little closer.

A wonderful comic about the insidiousness of disordered eating and the difficult journey of recovery in a society where body shaming and diet culture are so often masked as 'healthy'.

This is not just a story for those who have lived through similar struggles. It is a story that speaks for them.

IT’S THE YEAR OF THE HORSE 🐴🔥

When everything else in your drawing is a ten but the horse looks like a wonky identity crisis on hooves #designerproblems 💦 Whether you’re galloping or ambling into the new year, we wish you a smooth and struggle-free ride through 2026 ✨

We dive into Aime’s advocacy work on the issue of statelessness in Sabah, Bonni’s visual storytelling in the form of metaphors and unfurling panels, and how their combined choreography reminds us that all dreams are worth fighting for. Can we keep on dancing, even when the music stops?

Dance, dreams, and statelessness: creator chat with Aime and Bonni

Dance, dreams, and statelessness: creator chat with Aime and Bonni

Aime and Bonni’s “Syncopation” is a story of many rhythms – of beautifully illustrated dance sequences intertwined with nostalgic pixel art. When legal documentation issues get in the way, how are the lives of two friends forced out of synchrony?

Through her school days, where she must negotiate a precarious balancing act between her culture and fitting in, to her teenage years where appetites must be managed to keep up appearances, to her early adulthood where responsibilities feel overwhelming, Divya journeys from feelings of emptiness to finally finding fulfilment within.

"To the Last Gram" is an honest and hopeful story of feeling at odds with and finding a home in one’s community, family, and body, and of the yet-unfurling journey to embrace the fullness of life.
