In a black and white, two-panel comic, Max calls Maya on the phone. Max has short cut curly hair and layered shirts. It's been a hard week — with zoom calls getting the best of them, fires causing environmental distress to their home, and the mourning of Breonna Taylor. More than anything, they just need a friend.

The Lakeview Crew #7: Hold All The Feels

Sometimes you just need to call your friends, breath together, and feel all the feels. Maya may not always be the best listener, but after a hard week, Max and Maya have a heart to heart.
