Marie and Worrywart: Comics About Anxiety

Jenn Woodall’s Marie and Worrywart: Comics About Anxiety (Silver Sprocket, 2020–present) is a single-issue comic that personifies anxiety as a persistent, chatty companion named Worrywart, who shadows the character Marie through everyday life. Woodall, the series’ sole writer and artist, uses warm, expressive cartooning to explore the interior experience of living with anxiety with gentle humor and empathy. It stands out as a compact, deeply personal work from a modern indie press that reframes mental health struggles as a shared, human conversation rather than a flaw to be fixed.
