Bob commented a few days ago that he’d like to see “room for fresh ideas … a Comics I Haven’t Seen page spinoff”.
This seemed like a good idea, so we are going to occasionally feature comics that at least one editor isn’t that familiar with, and that haven’t shown up on CIDU much. Some of these you will like — with others we will save you the trouble of investigating them further.
Today’s inaugural edition features Wannabe, by Luca Debus, available at GoComics.
Wannabe focuses on the lives of three main characters: McKenzie, Andy, and Margot. … McKenzie has no idea what she wants to be, but she knows exactly how to reach it: through the magical powers of social media. Andy wants to be a playwright, but has no idea how to become one. And Margot is completely lost, she doesn’t know what she wants to be, nor how to get there.”
There’s definitely a Gen Z vibe here, but with a bit more problem-solving than, say, Dustin.
Comics I Don't Understand 
I discovered “Wannabe” by accident shortly after it first appeared at GoComics. It took me several weeks to figure out that the author intended the three main characters to be in their mid-20s (and already out of college). I still think that both the color palette and their proportions make them look more like high school sophomores, but that of course would not fit in with the way they are sharing an apartment.
Do Zoomers actually share apartments? That seems like a Gen X thing.
With rents today, and student loan debts, heck yes they pile multiple zoomers into tight spaces.
I thought the Random Comments section was handy for sharing “newly discovered” comics. :-)
You’re of course still welcome to post there. But in addition, those can be the subject of a daily-standalone full editorial post. And in turn, those can also be suggested by readers.
… And the CIHS has been added as one of the options for suggestion category at our handy-dandy Suggest-A-CIDU form page!
It reminds me a lot of ‘Friends’. I hope it doesn’t turn mean as that did.
@ Chak (7) – She’s not “mean”, but the way McKenzie lords her clueless, self-centered arrogance over the other characters can be fairly irritating. Perhaps the author needs “conflict” to generate interesting story arcs, but in a real world situation, the other two would probably have kicked her out of that apartment several times.
