"MeSseD" is a comic that spotlights the daily grind of sewer worker, Lilliput. She's our guide to a wild world that's right below our feet.
Artist Spotlight: Hailey Clemens!
Love the striking pin-up art inside The Goat? It's the work of multi-media artist Hailey Clemens!
She created the bold piece using a painstaking printmaking technique called a linoleum print.
