<p><b>A pandemic time capsule by a celebrated underground cartoonist</b></p><p>When COVID-19 hit Montreal, cartoonist Rick Trembles started <i>The Weakly Dispatch</i>, a series of diary comics offering his personal perspective on pandemic life. Trembles¿ asthma put him at risk of a serious infection so, like many people, he took careful measures to avoid coming into contact with the virus. He self-isolated for months, surviving on grocery deliveries from friends, DIY workouts (to prevent muscle atrophy), and of course, comics.</p><p>Leaving the apartment, however, turned out to be even harder than staying isolated. Initially foiled by stair-painters and coughing neighbours, Trembles quickly discovered a newly perilous world, populated by unmasked people and handshake enthusiasts.</p><p><i>The Weakly Dispatch</i> is a wry and vulnerable look at the day-to-day complexities of life during a global pandemic, by the creator of <i>Represented Immobilized</i>.</p>
