Turtie Needs Work

In Turtie Needs Work, a lone, understated comic from the 2012 Koyama Press lineup, readers meet a small turtle navigating the quiet frustrations of job-hunting in a world that feels just a little too big. The series, notable for its spare, expressive storytelling, captures a gentle, melancholic humor that resonates with anyone who's ever felt out of step. Though it consists of only a single issue, its focused, heartfelt premise has made it a quietly cherished entry in the publisher's catalog of intimate, character-driven work.
