I'm Never Coming Back

A collection of surreal, comic, and mournful graphic stories, traveling across three continents, zooming in on unusual lives and remarkable situations, each tale unknowingly impacting the next

In Rye train station a woman impulsively buys the same ticket as the man in front of her, the accidental journey leading her to Berlin—a novel way to run away from home. At Heathrow Airport, a building perpetually busy with people coming and going, a traveler is visited by a memory that refuses to leave. A tray of Singapore rice noodles cooked up in Christchurch takes on a life of its own. A lone letterbox in Britain's only desert is central to a friendship between a traveling chef and a deep-sea diver. An old man realizes that time is running out in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Elsewhere an out-of-towner meets a crab at a taco stand who seems to know more than any crab has a right to know. The "sound mirrors of Denge" reflect more than noise for one day-tripper. And on Johnston Island a man struggles to hold onto his fading memories as his house slowly fills with pollen.
