This work by McPhail, published by Norma Editorial, shows us a way of hope for emotion and empathy through conversation.
Social networks are a minefield when it comes to discussions. Anonymity convinces many people that they can put whatever they want, the way they want, and when they want. But there are also people who use the same networks to share, interact and connect. In fact, social networks should be a means of communication… but mainly what they achieve is to show both its importance and its lack. And this is a clear reflection from day to day, where personal communication is more complex and necessary every day.

The graphics of this comic are both amazing and important, so the story works as it is. The expressiveness of the characters is crucial in the story, given the superficiality of Nick’s speeches and their awkward silence.
this minimalist drawing in gray and black tones is characterized by a simple character design dominated by big eyes. Additionally, the characters play an important role in each of the vignettes as the backdrops are virtually nonexistent. They only stand out slightly when we need to place characters. But McPhail focuses all his attention and the attention of his readers on the faces of the characters. When they communicate honestly, intimacy and a bond between them, the author represents this with colors. Those moments give importance to the work. The full-color scenes are a reminder of what empathy really is. cover Inside This is an excellent summary of the interior, it could never be said better.
