So Sad So Happy
by Anton Gudim
So Sad So Happy is a collection of comics. Deliberately using few words and playing with perspective, Moscow-based illustrator Anton Gudim wittily depicts loneliness and frustration of modern living with deadpan humour. These comics encourage us to look at the world with a refreshed eye.
