About this Episode

The people in Eleanor Davis' stories strive to find solace only to often find it tantalizing out of reach. How do you find peace in this world?

That question seemed to permeate Davis' 2014 collection How To Be Happy and arises again in her 2019 graphic novel The Hard Tomorrow, which takes place in a dystopic future yet feels at home in the middle of the Trump era.

Seems depressing, but Davis is a virtuostic visual storyteller and her work is often sad, mysterious, and breathtaking all at the same time.
