Swing Relieve by Julianne Frega and Nathan J. DiPerri
Parenting and living in the pandemic are both emotionally, mentally, and financially challenging. Parenting WHILE living in a pandemic adds a layer of profound exhaustion to these challenges. Our cartoon was crafted to capture this exhaustion and a mother’s need for relief from the weight of these challenges.
Julianne Frega and Nathan J. DiPerri met by providence in Providence and have been creating together ever since. Their cartoons are licensed worldwide with CartoonStock and have been featured in a number of publications including The Spectator, Phi Delta Kappan, and Please See Me.
