"Globes" by Aaron Whitaker

This year I’m releasing a lot of minicomics! To kick it off– “Globes” is about an angsty teenage hologram named Holo who flies out into space far away from his Father’s globe to find a life for himself. Along the way he smokes weed with a 3D printer and reads un-tasteful porn mags with some worms.

“Globes” is 20 pages and available now for $4 in my etsy shop.
