Johnny Public, by Sean Frost and Wendi Strang-Frost. (drama comic, 2001-2005)
“This is the forum, the bar and grill of my mind. It's very popular with some of the people that live in my head, because it's close to my awareness. There's one right now. Everybody, this is Walter, professional stick-in-the-mud. I'm controlled through that TV set he's glaring at. Don't do anything I wouldn't do, Walter!”
Blurb: One of William Denn's headmates calls a full system meeting, which requires a full headspace manhunt, and Denn's headspace is not a place to wander unsupervised. Not all of the headmates are on the same team, either. Psychodrama ensues. The first arc was completed; the second is incomplete and you should skip it.
Why is it worth your time? Its depiction of an amorphous, surrealistic headspace is gorgeous, the art is beautiful, and all the headmates are interesting to get to know. The comic is unfinished, but Chapters 0-8 have a simple completed arc. Also, even though it's a comic about MPD, trauma doesn't come up at all, which is nice if you want a break from that.
Plural Tags: switching, MPD, so much headspace, no trauma discussion whatsoever, inner children
Content Warnings: In comments below; contains spoilers.
Accessibility Notes: Sorry, not transcribed. Web-only.
Miscellaneous Notes: Read the first arc, which goes through Chapter 8, and then quit there. It is very much a first act, but it has a decent stopping point; Chapter 9 involves none of the pre-existing characters or plot points, and Chapter 10 was never completed.
