Love and Rockets #13

In "Song of the Sea Hog," Jaime Hernandez delivers another quietly resonant chapter in the lives of his beloved characters, capturing Hopey’s bittersweet transition as her coworkers treat her to a farewell lunch before her new role begins. Back home, she tries her hand at driving Rosie’s pickup, only to find herself navigating more than just the roads—her clumsy effort leaves the truck with a few dents, a small but telling moment in a story that’s always about the weight of growing up. The issue’s gentle humor and keen observation are rendered with Jaime’s signature style, while the cover by Gilbert Hernandez adds a touch of whimsy to the proceedings.
