Helltropolitan is a comic series that follows the insane, miserable, comical young adult lives of childhood friends Martha & Sophie— with the occasional appearance of the straight up bizarre people they meet. Their stories vary in length from short gags to graphic novelizations.

Their hometown is a caricature of the quintessential “city”. A sizzling hotbed of showbiz, real estate, drugs, and consumer debt. The exact name or location of this city isn’t important, because it’s everywhere. It could be Portland, Seatle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, New York, or maybe even Vancouver- you might live there and not even know it.

With Martha finishing up her senior year of highschool and Sophie freshly moved out struggling to make ends meet on a slew of minimum wage jobs, they seem to be at the worst possible place at the worst possible time. Can they still eke out an existence in a world like this?

(Probably, they’re cartoon characters.)
