Athena Naylor

Athena Naylor is a cartoonist originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, now living in Washington, DC. Through comics, Athena considers what makes the mundane meaningful and how big stories reside within small, everyday events. Alongside her self-published collections of autobiographical comics, Athena has had work featured in The Lily and Nat. Brut. Her comic The Checkout Counter was published through the podcast-publishing venture Paper Cuts. Her work can be found at athenanaylor.com, and on Instagram @athena.naylor.

Dailies III is the third installment of her diary comic series Dailies. Athena documents moments from late 2018 to early 2020 (pre-quarantine). This collection includes odes to friendship, notes on family trips, Halloween gender-feelings, and experiencing sympathy for the mice in your shitty apartment.
