Radiator Comics is proud to publish Whit Taylor’s series, Fizzle! Don’t miss an issue, with a subscription to this Ignatz Award-winning series

Fizzle is a fictional comic about Claire, a New Jersey transplant in California on the verge of transcending her listless life. Claire works retail at a tea shop where her boss expects more enthusiasm than Claire can muster, her stoner boyfriend, on the other hand wants Claire to spend less energy worrying about life. Claire wants something more, but isn’t sure what. A pot-induced joke and a taste for evocative fruit sparks an interest in Claire that could be her escape from her mundane life.

In addition to each issue of Fizzle, subscribers will receive supplementary zines, stickers, and other extra items between issues. Subscribers are the first people to receive copies, and save a bunch on shipping!

Whit Taylor is a cartoonist and editor from New Jersey. She lives there with her husband and two cats. Other titles by Whit include Madtown High (self-published), The Anthropologists (Sparkplug Books), Ghost Stories (Rosarium Publishing), and Ley Lines No. 17: Smile (Czap Books/Grindstone Comics).

“Taylor is skilled at presenting the drudgery and small moments that add up to broader issues, and in capturing the negative spaces that are splotched around everyone’s souls.” -John Seven, The Comics Beat [Full Review]
