Issue 01 demonstrates how the lives of intergalactic Squid People are not so different from the lives of humans on planet Earth. “The Quirk” opens with an unnamed squid office employee and the unforeseen challenges of getting to work on time. The lack of a nose and hair made entirely out of tentacles does little to prevent a broken down car and snapping the high-heel off a pair of pumps before nearly missing a train to work. What started out as a day to celebrate a birthday quickly descends into an unfortunate day of back-to-back disasters. Adding insult to injury, the mechanical “Officer Sparkles”, an invasive flying camera built to record misdemeanor citations, is on patrol chasing squid people around town and administering a fee to citizens for breaking the law.

The art looks like a mixture of black and white line art drawn on paper with extra touch ups and shading completed digitally. Incredibly clean and stylistic perspective drawings. The backgrounds really anchor the characters into the setting.
