IS TED OK? #1 (of 6)

Is Ted OK? is a six-issue miniseries that follows Ted, a reclusive worker at a mega-corporation owned by the world’s richest figure. He wrestles with night terrors, obsessively drawing the same figures, and the only person he talks to is a stray cat. Sarah, a new arrival in the city, remotely monitors him to prevent harm—and her intervention triggers consequences neither expected. As Ted’s grip on reality falters, the plan to help spirals into catastrophe. Dave Chisholm writes, draws, and creates the cover for this tightly focused creator-owned work, blending intimate, human moments with ominous, sprawling cityscapes. The narrative fuses the paranoid mood of Severance with the cosmic sci‑fi pulse of Akira, asking what happens when care crosses lines in a world built on surveillance and control.
