Introvert. Big sister. Cartoonist. Months after Brittany Long Olsen returned from a year abroad in Japan, she was living at home, working a boring desk job, and being pressured to throw herself into the dating scene. An unexpected move to Utah led to grad school, roommates, some crazy adventures with her best friend, a lot of pizza, and all the ups and downs of being a young adult. All the while, she was drawing a comic journal page every day. Comic Diaries Volume 1 collects one year of her best slice-of-life cartoons about humor, family, faith, and love.

"Dendo" is the Japanese word for "missionary work." This daily journal of an LDS sister missionary in Tokyo, Japan, was kept entirely in comic pages. Sister Long spent 18 months teaching and serving among some of the most amazing people in the world, but it wasn't always easy. Read the story of her service teaching English, helping people follow Jesus Christ, and making some of the best friends of her life.

It's your typical romance: Boy meets girl. Boy proposes to girl. Girl tries not to turn into bridezilla while planning their wedding, trying to get boy to like her vegan cooking, and publishing her first book. In this second Comic Diaries collection from Brittany Long Olsen (DENDO: One Year and One Half in Tokyo), charming slice-of-life cartoons offer a closer look at young love and how to have as much fun on as little money as possible.

Eleven-year-old Darcy just moved to a new country. She's feeling lost and misses her friends back home. That's when she stumbles upon a shop full of mysterious glowing jars labeled with things like "Picking up the last sweater on the rack and it's on sale" and "Having the perfect weather on your wedding day." Much to Darcy's surprise-this store sells happy feelings. After Darcy accidentally breaks one of the irreplaceable jars, she must make it up to the shopkeepers, Frida and Flora, by doing chores around the store, and is soon tasked with collecting happy feelings. But she learns that the magical business is anything but magical. With fewer customers than ever, Frida and Flora might have to close their doors. Can Darcy think of an idea to save the Happy Shop? What if they sold more than just happy feelings?

One girl travels the world in search of the mother she never knew. With nothing but a backpack and a snake for a travel companion, she sets off on an adventure to find her mother and, hopefully, find herself. This comic explores imagery of the divine feminine from around the globe.
