Sending a big hug to anyone who needs one today.

Ruth Chan is an illustrator who lives in Brooklyn with her boyfriend. Her comics tackle lighter topics like dogs and curry fish balls to heavier topics like grief and race. She writes and illustrates children’s books. For Cup of Jo, she also written about OCD, losing a pet, and Chinese celebrations.

P.S. Simple pleasures, and every movie night.
