Birch Control

Laura Kenins’ Birch Control is a quietly surreal, ongoing four-issue comic series from 2008 onward that explores the strange, symbiotic relationship between a woman and a birch tree growing in her home. Written and drawn entirely by Kenins, the series blends delicate, naturalistic linework with a slow-burn narrative that feels both intimate and uncanny. It stands as a distinctive, self-contained work in the indie comics landscape, showcasing Kenins’ singular vision as both writer and artist.
