Read comic: Bittersweet Romance

This is a romance comic you’ve never seen before. Victor Cayro’s obsessive marker drawings are a visual feast like an ungodly chimera of Robert Williams, Geoff Darrows, a big-footed R. Crumb goddess, and Jiminy Cricket. These swirling landscapes are on the verge of chaos - panels bleed into vortices and supernovas of ink, and Cayro’s style is constantly evolving, morphing in the space of a panel from hyper-macho to noir to psychedelic. The story of fear, inferiority, passion, and rage between a woman and a man spotlights the worst parts in all of us. Whether you keep reading out of disgust, horror, fascination, or hypnotism.
