Debuted at ICE CREAM: the Iowa City Expo for Comics and Real Eclectic Alternative Media, 2023.

Jonesy is a wordless, watercolor mini-comic based on a dream...or as some would say, a nightmare. Maggie and Mom go on a wild ride. A cat, a dancing tube man and a suburban van collide in this night-time misadventure.
