DescriptionEdit

Sometimes a friendly familiarity develops between comic artists even though they have never met. While reading each other's books they enter into a dialogue that can be seamlessly continued when they meet in person for the first time. The artists of the Damenstammtisch (Ladies Regulars' Table) are united by an inquisitive gaze on the world. They tell stories about neighbors who practice tai chi, a visit to a fetisch club, a pregnancy and artist friends, mermaids in New York and a mother with a past in intelligence.^[1]
