SINGLE-PANEL COMIC SERIES
Equally nostalgic as they are existential, Karly Hartzman’s single-panel comics are resonate to her work as songwriter and frontperson to the shoegaze collective, Wednesday. In everything Karly does there is a refined sentimentality – arresting, yet warm. In Karly’s comics, It’s what remains understated that has the most influence on the overall mood. The bare feet on the linoleum floor of the Walgreens. The tiny frown of her 11-year old portrait. Though, we can’t know the answer to the question posed in “Our Room,” anyone whose been in a relationship knows it’s not the answer that matters, but the overall weight of the experience of asking something to someone every day –of having been given that opportunity. It’s Karly’s abilty to amplify moments like these, that gives her work its beauty.
