My New York Diary #[nn]

In "The First Time," Julie Doucet delivers a raw, intimate portrait of a fragile moment in her life, capturing the quiet tension of a relationship teetering on the edge. When Louis shows up at her apartment, shaken and desperate, on the night she’s racing to finish her sketchbook, the emotional weight of the moment hangs thick in the air. Written and drawn entirely by Julie Doucet, this deeply personal entry from her My New York Diary series is a poignant, unflinching look at connection, fear, and the quiet courage it takes to face yourself.
