A Very Special Episode, Comic

On this week’s episode: Mary, stuck in the monotony of her suburban existence, has a vision in her backyard one day. The vision guides Mary to observe, through a hole in her fence, an unfolding drama between a couple living next door. As Mary continues to watch her neighbors’ lives silently unfold, she is confronted with her memories of her own familial-religious histories, and ultimately discovers an important secret about her neighbors.

Will Mary continue to spy on her neighbors, much like a viewer like yourself might continue reading even though you probably shouldn’t? Can she keep the important secret? And will she try to use the hole in her fence to make contact with her neighbor? (or someone else?) Tune in!

Based in Saint Paul, MN, THE END Press is a micropress operated by Mary Climes and Cody Triplett. THE END combines words and images to make humorous, deep works that explore our big, beautiful world as it circles the drain. Crucially, THE END Press focuses on publishing physical releases in the form of handmade comics, chapbooks, art books, and prints.

Mary Climes is a visual artist who uses allegory, sequencing, and narrative to explore loneliness, complacency, and intimacy. She uses humor and cartooning in her compositions to explore mysticism and Catholicism in suburban America. Originally from the Jersey Shore, Mary received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA in Printmaking at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Cody Triplett is a writer of short fiction, poetry, and hybrid works. His work deals with dream-reality problems, technocracies, and showing the world (almost) as it is. His pieces have recently been published in Sleet Magazine and Sunflower Station Press. In addition to writing fiction, Cody has recently written a comic in collaboration with Mary Climes, who illustrated the work. After growing up around east Tennessee, Cody received his BA in English Literature from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
