I Created 25 Relatable Comics About A Teenager Struggling To Accept Herself The Way She Is

Hi! My name is Ellen Giovine. I was born and raised in Italy, by an American mother. When my mother brought me to the U.S., I fell in love with all the junk food and I would put on ten to twenty pounds each trip.

When I was thirteen, I went into a closet with two dozen donuts. A few decades later, I decided to come out and start this comic. I hope you agree with my decision.

Franci loves to eat but wants to be skinny. She’ll do anything for food and try anything to lose weight. Francis is her pig. He’s with her through thick and thin. He gets her through her fat days and tells her she looks beautiful as she is… She tells him to zip it.
