Waterwise – Alternative Comics

by Joel Orff

The story of two old friends who are reunited for one night and wander together through a surreal, vaguely apocalyptic landscape, pondering life, griping about their circumstances, and trying to connect. Along the way they explore the nature of dreams, the fragile facade of civilization and the tenderness of a true friendship.

“In this book I’m stretching out, telling a very simple story in a stripped down, minimal style over a large number of pages. My goal was to use the unique qualities of comics to create something that works best as a comic.”
— Joel Orff

“This is a wonderfully unique and personal graphic novel from the pen and brush of Joel Orff.” –Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin
