Magnolia & Vern: The Picnic

In a single, self-contained issue from 2014, Amanda E. Ahlstrom both wrote and illustrated this gentle, character-driven comic. Magnolia & Vern: The Picnic follows two friends as they prepare for an outdoor meal, blending quiet humor with warm, expressive art. Though brief, the series stands as a charming snapshot of Ahlstrom's storytelling style and her focus on small, intimate moments.
