Lisa's Story: The Other Shoe

In Lisa's Story: The Other Shoe, cartoonist Tom Batiuk continues the narrative of his long-running Funky Winkerbean universe with a poignant, single-issue graphic novella from Kent State University Press. Focusing on Lisa's life after her cancer diagnosis, the story explores themes of resilience and the quiet, everyday heroism found in facing an uncertain future. Batiuk's character-driven approach and unflinching emotional honesty make this a significant, standalone chapter in a beloved comic strip saga.
