Perfect Hair

A vivid cross-section of relationships, identity, and the gradations of emotion that color them.

"Parrish is great at making panels that you can both read and linger over. The locations and bodies are exaggerated to reach a more realistic and sensorial state. This is an awesome debut comic."-- Dash Shaw, author of titles such as Cosplayers, Doctors, Bodyworld, and Bottomless Belly Button

"Parrish has one of my favourite traits in a cartoonist: intense passion for the craft. They are rapidly evolving and experimenting wildly and it's joyful to watch."-- Simon Hanselmann, author of NY Times bestselling titles such as Megahex and Meg and Mogg in Amsterdam
