Written and illustrated for The Great Comic Tree Anthology - Alternative Worlds, The Dream Mechanic is set in a universe where everything is commodified and sold, including our hopes, dreams, and emotions. Meep, a lonely mechanic sets up shop to mend people’s broken aspirations. This short story speaks about the pressure of taking on other people’s dreams and learning to ask for help to share the load.
This AU is a fantasy (and more optimistic!) version of “Meep, Logging Off,” a story of a lonely astronaut lost in space, unable to ask for help.
