The complete edition of Slices of Life: A Comic Montage; a masterful collection of comics of universal scenarios that examine the small moments in life, reveling in all it’s quiet beauty. Originally created as Qu's thesis project for her MFA in Illustration Practice at MICA, it's a joy to be bringing this collection of insightful and subtly magnificent silent comics to English readers, as it has only been published in China. This edition of Slices of Life includes process backmatter originally from Qu’s making-of zine.
We may differ from each other in millions of ways, however, when a single moment connects our lives, then in that slice, there are no differences; there is just me and you.
303 pages // full color // 8.25” x 6.5” // printed in China

Praise for Slices of Life:
“Qu is one of the best contemporary cartoonists to pay attention to. Qu [She] bends, twists and subverts the form of comics so ambitiously and refreshingly; with her elegant, gorgeously rendered style, the mundane is elevated and made magic. This collection is a tribute to what makes a life worth loving.”
- Reimena Yee (The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya)
“This is such a peaceful, and yet hilarious collection of gorgeous drawings by Qu. It’s deeply nostalgic and hits as a perfect summer read to remind you of all the little moments that are magical and worth slowing down to celebrate.”
- Natalie Andrewson (Dreaming in Color)
