Was That Normal?

By Alex Potts

"It was like he'd missed the main part of the story and arrived between the big climax and the end credits. A new order had established itself and everyone, apart from him, was living happily ever after. Nothing interesting could possibly happen between now and the ending."

Philip is searching.
For meaning. For connection. For someone to share a moment with.
By day, he works from a rented room. By night, he drifts through caf s and bars, dodging awkward chats with his landlady and hoping for something more. When he meets Gina, a local musician, things begin to shift. But relationships are messy, and Philip's discomfort grows as he stumbles through miscommunications, emotional misfires, and the looming presence of Gina's intense ex.

Add in a crumbling tower, gong baths (whatever they are), and the quiet ache of modern life, and you have a story that's tender, funny, and deeply human.

A beautifully observed graphic novel about connection, confusion, and the spaces in between.
