From Rosa Colón - read our series, Rigged! Four cartoonists from all over the world on the power of voting (or not).
Today, we take a look at “Crossed Memories” a collaboration between Sarah Bowie and Iris Yan, featured in Dog City 4.
Sarah is a cartoonist and illustrator based in Dublin. David Bowie is not her uncle. Iris is a Brazilian-born Chinese cartoonist who likes to draw pigs. Her work has been featured in previous issues of Dog City and in Maple Key.
Dog City #4 debuts at SPX and is available for preorder now.

Maple Key Comics is proud to welcome Iris Yan back for her second three-part story in our humble publication. This time around, Iris brings us FRIENDS, a collection of vignettes about old acquaintances. But, as with all of Iris' stories, these people are rarely who they seem to be. The first chapter features unexpected evangelism, tentative reaches for approval, and general social ineptitude--all, of course, in Yan's streamlined, charming funny animal style! Just one week to go before Issue 4 hits the shelves! Preorder yours today! Or, make sure you get to read ALL of FRIENDS, plus our other incredible features, by getting a subscription to Maple Key 4-6!
Maple Key contributor Iris Yan is a globetrotting Brazilian cartoonist who has a PhD in Mathematics and is a professionally trained aura reader. Her story "Hotline," the first installment of which will appear in the first three issues of Maple Key, fictionalizes Yan's experiences as an operator in a student-run support hotline.
Yan's work is characterized by a simple, clean style that is extremely readable and more often than not uproariously funny. Her studies at Vermont's Center for Cartoon Studies honed her already considerable storytelling chops.
You can see more of Yan's work at her website. Stay tuned for more contributor spotlights as the Maple Key Kickstarter continues!
