In "null," Lena finds herself caught between the relentless attention of the Jealousy Brothers and the looming threat of losing her job to the fat man, all while the Colonel’s attempt to outmaneuver the situation by hiring a skinny woman only complicates things further. Written by Gwen Hansen and illustrated with sharp, expressive detail by Klaus Nordling, the story unfolds with a mix of tension and dark humor, centered on desire, insecurity, and the fragile balance of power in a world where everyone wants something.
