Sweet Time

Written and Illustrated by Weng Pixin

Signed copies available (while stocks last)!

Vibrant swatches of paint build resonant portraits of heartache, childhood memories, and loneliness.

Sweet Time is an intimate rumination on love, empathy, and confidence. Singaporean cartoonist Weng Pixin delicately explores strained relationships with a kind of hopefulness while acknowledging their inevitable collapse. Her stories are like a series of snapshots in a photo album or the brightest highlights from an Instagram profile. 

Gorgeous image follows gorgeous image in a delicate quest to find connection. A night out turns into a chance encounter that is at first ecstatic and then quickly descends into awkwardness. A round of “he loves me, he loves me not” becomes a way of reading every action taken by a distant love interest. A couple find themselves in an artificially beautiful landscape, but the relationship can’t survive their difference of opinion on the illusion of its beauty. In Sweet Time, thick and bold strokes of colour mingle with delicate lines. Weng combines colourful realism with a gentle wit and introspection, crafting infinitely relatable stories of everyday life and love now.

Content Advisory: This graphic novel is intended for an adult audience.
