Inside that box is a line of writing that says 'I wanted to fill this box with intracommunity twitter discourse. In the end I couldn't bring myself to'. Below is a portrait of Johnnie Frierson, and a zoomed out drawing of a cut mouldy pumpkin, a rotting cucumber in plastic, and a tupperware box of food.

Then you're not gonna be good to others.' Speechbubble 4: 'I clean out the fridge'.
A comic, drawn in coloured pencil. An image of a plane flying overhead, and some flowers. Speechbubble 1: 'There's no amount of bad life can get that will suddenly make things better.'

His first subject was four. She died by suicide at thirty-three.' Speechbubble 3: 'These flowers are for her'.
