“Joey and Friends” is a comic series written and illustrated by Branch Sword. The story follows main character, Joey,  as he navigates multiple existential crises and comes into his own as a young adult.

 

DISCLAIMER: The following comic has depictions of teen smoking.  Maroon & White does not condone teen smoking. Not only are nicotine and tobacco illegal substances for minors, they’ve been shown to be addictive and cause health problems. Maroon & White does, however, support the artist in his work to create an accurate depiction of teen struggles with substance abuse.  “I don’t support [teen smoking] in any way,” said Sword, “but rather, it’s just to comment on how teens nowadays normalize substance abuse the same way they did in the past.”
