Dirty Plotte #4

In "New York City, May 1991," Julie Doucet delivers a sharp, surreal slice of life where the absurdity of daily routines takes center stage. With her signature raw, intimate style, Doucet draws us into a quietly bizarre moment where a hyper-clean version of herself confronts the messy reality of her own habits—only to be undone by the very dirt she’s trying to erase. The story, written, drawn, inked, and lettered entirely by Doucet, features her distinctive cover art, a stark, expressive portrait that captures the issue’s off-kilter tone.
