"This collection of poignant, poetry-like mini-comics will change the way you see the world. Each fictional story explodes seemingly banal and tiny moments – remembering an inside joke at a furniture store, watching old soccer clips online – and transforms them into powerful, thought-provoking meditations on the joy and heartbreak of being alive. In the titular comic, a father tells his adult son that he loves him, for the first and only time, while driving back from a funeral. Now, whenever the son thinks of his father, all he sees is “blue sky through the window of a moving car.” Beautiful."
