Christiann MacAuley doesn’t just make comics, she captures the exact brain static you get at 2 a.m. when you’re spiraling over whether you replied weird or just normal-weird. Her work feels like that inner voice you usually try to suppress, but funnier and with better timing.

The beauty of Sticky Comics is how effortlessly it mirrors the mess of being a person, all the burnout, the awkwardness, the silent screaming at technology, wrapped up in clean lines and perfectly petty jokes that reflect in the simple artstyle.
