Connection Error

Scientists on the verge of a major discovery are thwarted by an HP Printer.

I have a prediction: That no matter what technological breakthroughs lie ahead for the human race, Zoom calls will always be awkward, toast will always burn, and printers will stop working for no goddamn reason.

This short story, long-listed for the 2022 Manga Jiman Prize, imagines that future.

8 pages, India Ink, Polychromos pencil and water-soluble graphite on Bristol Paper
