Work-Life Balance

Aisha Franz’s Work-Life Balance, published by Drawn & Quarterly beginning in 2023, is a single-issue comic that explores the fraught boundaries between personal fulfillment and professional obligation. Co-written with Nicholas Houde and illustrated by Franz, the series distills the anxieties of modern adulthood into a compact, visually striking narrative. Its debut marks a sharp, empathetic addition to the publisher’s catalog of thoughtful graphic fiction.
