“I Come From Above to Avoid a Double Chin”

In "I Come From Above to Avoid a Double Chin," Gilbert Hernandez dives into a quietly surreal family mystery as Pipo's crumbling marriage to Fritz forces Baby to piece together fragments of Fritz's past—only to find the truth tangled with myth and a stranger’s claim. The story unfolds with the writer-artist’s signature blend of intimacy and the uncanny, as a mysterious tweeter insists Baby has a secret twin, turning ordinary questions into something far stranger. The cover by Jaime Hernandez captures the story’s dreamlike tension, while Gilbert’s full creative hand shapes a world where identity and memory blur.

With Pipo's marriage to Fritz in shreds, Baby pieces together Fritz's past as she asks Pipo and then the High Priestess what they know about her. To add more to the tangled mix, a mysterious tweeter starts claiming that she's Baby's secret twin sister, a claim that sounds fanciful at first but then increasingly more credible.
