Bonding: A Love Story About People and Their Parasites

A man, a woman—and their parasites. Marcus has been alone since the loss of his closest friend and has just recently entered into the dating scene, while Laura has drifted in and out of relationships since high school. They meet, they have a great first date, and Marcus almost dies—because the slug-like parasite that everybody carries in this world nearly rejects him, its host. is a funny, quirky, and honest look at love, in a world where everyone wears their anxiety, not on their sleeves, but on their chest like big ol' leeches. An original graphic novel "This unexpected mash-up gets at all the ways people find meaning in a life that’s not entirely one’s own." — Publishers Weekly
