*ABOUT THE BOOK*
Funny and stark, this comic strip memoir relives the surreal days of
Singapore’s circuit breaker days from April to June 2020. Cartoonist Joseph
Chiang records the strangeness and the mundanity of daily life during the
circuit breaker such as the toilet paper shortage, mask-wearing woes and
forced family time. Chiang’s slice-of-life stories provide humour during
unprecedented times and document local events and idiosyncrasies that
stemmed from this new-normal era.
