About the series
In Food Baby, Lucie Bryon serves up a surreal and tender one-shot from Shortbox that blends body horror, romance, and the messy anxieties of young adulthood. Published in 2016, this single issue follows a character who literally grows a sentient, food-like creature inside themselves, using the bizarre premise to explore themes of intimacy, self-doubt, and the overwhelming need to be cared for. Bryon’s expressive, candy-colored art and deadpan humor make this a quietly unforgettable indie comic that resonates long after the last page.
